Do iLoveRealEstate.tv success stories inspire you?
Do they make you want to go out there and give real estate property investment a go?
After all, there’s nothing like seeing another person do something fantastic to prove that it can be done…
And there are plenty of iLoveRealEstate.tv students who’ve done just that, aren’t there?
I love to see somebody who’s had a tough time of it, get themselves back on track and make a go of real estate investing by following the strategies they’ve learned…
And I hope you do, too.
Thing of it is…
We’re all individuals…
Everybody’s different and we’re not always impacted the same way by the same information.
Success means different things to different people…
So when you hear or read a success story about someone who’s gone from zero to millions in short period of time…
For some people, they just can’t get their head around that…
I understand.
For some people, that sort of demonstration doesn’t ring their bells…
Some prefer and relate to a different sort of success story…
They innately want something that they can “see” themselves doing…
Because if you can’t see yourself doing something, it’s not likely to happen.
That’s just the way it works.
And there’s nothing wrong with that, or that person.
How do I know this?
Many reasons, not least of which is my own life experience and talking to others…
As well as reading all your comments on the iLoveRealEstate.tv website.
That’s right…
I read your comments regularly…
I’d be daft not to, wouldn’t I?
Doing so, I get to hear your differing points of view…
Some supportive…
And a few, here and there, not so much.
But that’s all right, too.
I want you to express what you’re thinking (but keep it clean, it’s a family website!).
Find what works for you
What I noticed recently is a post from Wally…
What he does is buy a property that will allow him to subdivide the back half of the lot…
Build a second property on that half…
Move into it while he renos the first property, then sell off both.
He then takes the chunk deal money and buys another similar property and does the same thing.
Wally writes, “It’s not a get rich quick plan like you hear about but it is safe and works for me.”
That’s exactly the point of iLoveRealEstate…
You learn many real estate investment strategies…
But that doesn’t mean that every strategy works for everybody.
You only need to use one or two, to succeed.
And yes, Wally is succeeding…
He is going at a pace that works for him…
Where he is comfortable using a strategy that he can repeat again and again.
You see, we define our own meaning of success…
Wally isn’t out to “get rich quick” as he puts it…
But he is out to free himself from a mortgage while keeping his full time job…
And it sounds like he likes his fulltime job, which is perfectly fine!
Do you see what I’m getting at?
You define your own success
You don’t have to pull the pin on your regular job…
That was my goal back when I was working seven days a week and earning very little…
But not everyone is in that position.
And not everyone has to “go from zero to a million-dollar portfolio” to be a success.
That’s not what my program, my courses, seminars and boot camps are really about…
They are about giving you the tools and education you need to accomplish what you need to accomplish.
What works for one person, won’t necessarily work for the next person.
The important point is to find out which strategy works for you…
And what your comfort level is.
As Wally notes in his post…
“…It is safe and it works for me.”
Isn’t that wonderful?
I think so.
The point is…
Don’t feel pressure to do exactly what somebody else is doing or has done…
You’re not them and they’re not you…
Different people, different comfort levels and different situations involved.
But do feel confident that you CAN do this…
Know that there’s a simple strategy you can do that will work for you and your comfort level…
And start out small.
Wally started out with his own property and moved on from there…
That said, I’m going to make a bit of a prediction here…
And say that Wally will eventually add to his strategy as he gains altitude, so to speak.
He may well end up buying another property that can be split into three lots…
And build on all three and sell them all…
He may then just buy a block of land…
And build a block of flats or townhouses on it.
You see what I mean, right?
It’s the same simple strategy of finding a bit of land to add property to it…
Right now, Wally is focused on PPRs with a split-able back end to the property…
But who knows how far he’ll go with that one, single, safe strategy that works for him?
At the end of the day…
We’re much more likely to find what works for each of us…
But only if we make the effort and start looking for it.
