Real Estate versus the Pain of Discipline and the Pain of Regret


It is often said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
John Maxwell said, “Success is a journey”
When you combine the two great quotes: The success journey begins with a first step. This first step is what most people are afraid of taking because this step is what separates abundance from failure. I know you would say it sounds cliché, but it is the truth. No one said the road would be smooth all the way. I write this because it was something I learnt over the years and it was not a smooth road for me then, I almost gave up.
As a sales professional, you should understand that there are two kinds of pain in real estate: The pain of discipline and the pain of regret.
The pain of discipline involves lead generation, lead follow up and prospecting which actually seems really difficult for most of us, but when you try and take that step to actually follow up on the leads you generate, you definitely will get results. YES, you may experience potential rejection at first, but do not get discouraged. Trust me the real estate industry will test you and try you emotionally {you will transform your attitude, confidence, enthusiasm}.
To take the pain of discipline, you have to pursue with a single-minded purpose. It is only when you continue in that path would you be only to transform it into desire. You see real estate is a business that will reward you in the long run if you commit to long haul { A lot of newbies don’t understand this because they expect a maximum return, minimum gain}.
Real estate is the vehicle, you are the driver, and you alone determine how far you want to drive to get to your destination. There is beauty in real estate because it grooms you into a powerful, business-minded individual and someone who can think quickly on his/her feet. It will force you to master communication in your interaction with people.
Real estate is like a diamond, it is going to take a lot of pressure and force, but if you can withstand it and understand that it is part of the process, you will turn into a diamond. Because you have performed.

10 Rock-Solid Reasons Why You Should Be Investing In Land

I've said it before and I'll say it again, vacant land is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood real estate investments in the world. Whenever I tell people I specialize in buying and selling LAND, I get a lot of blank stares. There seems to be a widespread (and erroneous) assumption that vacant land is a “weak” or even pointless investment because Ø   It doesn't produce income. Ø   It just sits there and nothing happens Ø   It's flat out boring. It's an unfortunate misconception because the truth is – vacant land is capable of producing some serious cash flow and it's one of the best investments on earth because of its hands-off nature and versatility. The simplicity and stability that comes with owning the right piece of land, purchased at the right price, can far outweigh the myriad of problems that come with any other type of real estate. If you've overlooked raw land as a viable investment opportunity in the past, you need t...

How to Determine the Highest and Best Use for Land

When it comes to land acquisition – one of the most important factors in getting this number reasonably accurate is to understand the “highest and best use” for a property. The question of a property's highest and best use is something all appraisers aim to address – and the issue is particularly relevant to appraisers and investors who are working with vacant land. When a vacant lot doesn't have any pre-existing improvements on it, there can be many potential uses for the property (depending on how the owner wants to use it, and what the local zoning regulations will allow), but even when there are several possibilities, there is only ONE highest and best use. Highest and best use is always the use that would produce the highest value for a property, regardless of its current use. The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the h...
