How easy is real estate?

I have come across several people that ask me this question before going into real estate.

It isn't easy, because it is easy to fall into the hands of scamming gurus who try to teach about flipping houses with motivational quotes.

Real estate is not a get-rich-quick or some Ponzi scheme. It is a business that requires patience, diligence, and the application of well-defined rules. At the end of this book, you will not only understand these rules, but you will also be exposed to practical applications.

To make the best from real estate, you will need to ensure that you plant the right seeds and subsequently "nourish' these seeds. Real estate can be made accessible when you put in the right amount of effort to ensure that you meet up with your objectives. You need to have a plan if you want to run a real estate investment business successfully.

As a new investor, you are likely eager to get things rolling and start making a killing. This cannot happen by accident, and you need to work with a blueprint or a plan to successfully do this.

Knowledge is Power

The difference between an unsuccessful flipper and a successful one is the knowledge that the latter possesses.

LEVERAGING KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge doesn't become power until you act on it. This book will provide you with the requisite knowledge needed to succeed in the real estate flipping business but make no mistake. If you don't leverage this knowledge, the status quo will remain the same.

My name is Alexander Robertson, and I have been in real estate for more than two decades. Since 1994, I have done several deals across various time-zones and learned several lessons during that process. At the end of each deal, I ask myself, "What exactly differentiates this deal from the others?" I got better, and I got smarter because I decided not just to close business deals, but to learn from each experience.

Real estate might seem like a stressful job where folks are under a lot of pressure at all times. Without passion, it is easy to feel like it is too complicated, and you may feel like throwing in the towel. As someone who has been in real estate for 25 years and counting, I can tell you that you need to be motivated to keep the fire burning. You have to ensure that you learn, unlearn, and relearn things.

I started real estate as a young and passionate young man who had fallen in love with the business. Today, I can say that I am more excited and interested in real estate than I was 25 years ago. This is what happens when you do your duty to leverage the lessons learned through numerous deals. Real estate was my means of attaining true financial freedom. Within five years of being in the business, I had earned enough money to last a lifetime.

During my career, I have come to understand that it is not only about knowing, but you also need to ensure that you practice that which you know. As we advance and grow older in our careers, we tend to reduce the amount of time and effort we spend on personal development. This is exactly what makes us redundant. Not because of old age but because we don't adapt to changing times. I often see myself as a student of real estate, and this has consistently inspired me to go beyond limits and stay updated with the latest in real estate.

Real estate, for me, is more than just a field of study or a moneymaking avenue. Real estate is something I grew into and fell in love with. My father, John, Edward Robertson, a British man, was a top estate agent in London during the '60s and '70s. I can remember being thrilled about property dealings (even though I did not fully understand it then). My father was my hero in many ways, and he taught me virtually everything that you could think of about real estate. Many times, my father taught me from his mistakes, and this helped me to discover many tips and tricks to excel.
