Re: Financing Investment Real Estate
“Around here, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -Walt Disney
Mr. Disney had it right. You can learn a little by looking back at what was already done, but if you stop looking forward – disasters can happen.
But I also agree that along with awareness needs to be curiosity.
If I wasn’t curious I would never have answered an ad that started me down this path in real estate.
To this day, I love to explore new things. The video I posted about our April WREIA meeting was from a mountainside in the Alps.
The Italian Alps!
In Europe!
Where I was skiing – and checking off a bucket list item. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a loooong time.
The opportunity came along and we jumped at the chance.
Of course – opportunities come along when you are looking for them.
A lot like real estate – right?
If you’re out there looking for deals – you will find them. Sometimes they aren’t always in the first spot you are looking – but you will find them.
If you are just getting frustrated you might need to do something just a little different, instead of throwing in the towel and walking away.
That said – some people have trouble believing they can even get started because they don’t have the money. Let me tell you – you don’t need a huge pile of cash to get started as a real estate investor. I can introduce you to plenty of people who started with $100 – sometimes less!
Financing a property can be a huge stumbling block for many people. It shouldn’t be.
Instead of wholesaling or bird-dogging your next property – why not try to do the project yourself?
Better questions lead to better answers.
Better answers lead to better lives.
“They” say never to talk about politics, religion or money.
Let’s break the rules next Monday and embrace the proper use of money, investing in real estate, and how to have a better life in the process.
Let me help you check off a bucket list item of your own. That dream vacation, supersized gift for a relative or maybe your dream weekend with long distance friends – all of them are within reach.
Aren’t you the type of person who is at least a little curious what is possible in this business? Don’t you want to know HOW people are getting deals done every day – right here in DC?
I hope to see you on Monday evening. Come on out and surround yourself with people who have a passion for real estate here in the DC area.
And bring your wholesale deals too. One of the wholesale deals announced at a recent WREIA meeting went on to sell for 18k OVER what the wholesaler was asking at our meeting.
Join me on April 16th as we talk about the entire process that goes on behind the scenes when financing properties. It’s a fun topic that I am going to break down into easy steps. By better understanding these steps you will have an edge over your competition and might be a little happier with your 2018 results.
April 16th is a great opportunity for you to ask a few questions like:
- How do I know I have the best finance partner for my project?
- When is the right time to use hard money or private money?
- What the heck is hard money or private money?
- What is a reasonable rate for my flip projects and my rentals?
- My credit history looks like a garbage pail of drama. What are my options?
- Is it possible to finance deals with little money out of my pocket?
- What mistakes do you see people making with their financing?
- What can a Realtor do to help investors close more deals?
Save a few dollars and reserve your seat early. Then, come join us at WREIA – Monday, April 16th. It will be a great meeting to start the spring season, get you motivated, and get some momentum for the rest of 2018.
Join us as we talk about Financing Real Estate in the DC area.
Meet real people doing real deals in real estate – right here in the DC/Baltimore area.
