In this second of three videos, Zig Ziglar talks about the importance of taking action NOW! Too often we take goals like investing in real estate and put them on the back burner, waiting until ‘someday’ to start on them. Common excuses are “I’m too busy” or “the market is horrible right now, next year will be better”. No matter what the situation, if you don’t start today you never will reach your destination!
Take your goals that you should have written down after watching the first video in this series and decide to take action today! There are no excuses why you can’t take that first step now, and it is vital that you do. No matter how small it is, that first step towards your real estate investing goals is critical. If you need help, ask for it! But whatever you do take action this very minute!
The beginning of the year is always a time for people to review the past and try and make changes. The fateful New Year’s resolutions that never get met are the classic example. My question for you is are your real estate investing goals mapped out for 2010?
Odds are that most of you haven’t got a firm plan for how you are going to reach your goals for next year. Especially in the realm of real estate investing it is critical to not try and blunder through. Goal setting is essential. To that end, here is the classic speaker Zig Ziglar talking about the importance of setting goals and why they are vital to your success!
What are your real estate investing goals for 2010? Whether it is buying your first property, learning how to wholesale properties or finding new partners, having specific written goals is the first step in turning them from dreams into realities.
Be bold and let the world know what your goals are. There are people out there just waiting to help you achieve them!
It is no surprise that 2010 is going to be another year for real estate buyers. Here we have a quick interview with Sam Chandan, President and Chief Economist of Real Estate Economics, LLC. What no one is mentioning is that for it be a buyer’s year in 2010, the banks have to start doing their jobs.
Residential home buyers do not like waiting 3-6 months to find out if they get they house they put an offer on. It may sound crazy, but on short sales, and most sales are shorts right now, that is not an uncommon. For this to truly be a buyer’s year, we need banks to start doing loans, and for them to also start processing short sales faster.
I am hearing that the government is passing new requirements for banks that will require them to respond to offers in a timely fashion and get short sales processed, but I am not going to hold my breath. Until that happens, the true winners in this market are the real estate investors that can sit on a transaction while it cooks in the bank’s files for 6 months.
2010 in my opinion is on schedule to be another real estate investor’s year. Buy and hold, wholesaling and flips will still be the name of the game.
