You Want to Do It but Don’t Really Have the Time, Investing Myth
By eric | November 27, 2007
This really comes down to choices and priorities. There is always time to do the things we need to do like go to work every day, mow the lawn, feed the dog. Often there isn’t time to do the things we really want to do. Learn to speak a second language, build a articlecase, or volunteer in the community. There is a difference between need and want. We’ll often do what we need and put off what we want. Unfortunately our wants are what truly enrich our lives.
The investment real estate business is something you should want to do and may even need to do. It’s work. To be truly successful, especially in the beginning, you will be involved in the day-to- day activities of finding and evaluating property, negotiating deals, overseeing contract repair work, possibly even managing the property once it’s yours. I can honestly say, I find the business rewarding, fun, and because of that, it is profitable.
I fell victim to the myth of not having enough time myself, and I take full blame. Finally I embraced the idea and actually started wanting to get it done. But wanting was not enough. What got me going was a do-it-or-else deadline.
If you don’t have the time to begin your real estate investment business, maybe in your mind, you don’t really need to do it. Maybe you simply want to do it, and “want” alone may not be enough to get you started. After all, if you work during the week at another job, you will have to search for and evaluate property on the weekends. You’ll need to make phone calls when you can during the week or in the evenings. There’s always a way to make your dreams come true . . . as long as they are truly your dreams.
