Many would-be rental home investors waste years before getting started. Some of the reasons for that are: too busy, fear of the unknown, the all-too-known paralysis of over-analysis, and lack of information. Conversely, the notion that they might never have enough information or money, and need to spend more time researching and studying before they act. Exacerbating this phenomenon, many new investors make what we call “rookie” mistakes when they finally do get going.
The most typical rookie mistake is believing that low-quality homes in bad areas in lesser cities will provide better “cash flow” (foreigners like to call it “yield”). While cash flow may appear to be better ON PAPER for such lesser properties, life doesn’t happen on paper. In real life, these bad properties usually end up wasting even more years of the investor’s time (and also the investor’s money).
There are ways to get started fast (and correctly). They are: buy the right type of property (s), get the right (type) of financing, and use the proper management. Using these simple steps, the new investor can get off to a good start regardless of how much time or knowledge they have.
On my Public Television special titled “Remote Control Retirement Riches with Adiel Gorel”, which will be airing through the weekend and into early September on Public Television stations across the country (KQED-TV in the San Francisco Bay Area, for example) this coming weekend, August 24th and 25th, I cover these points. Of course, I cover many other important related topics as well.
In the package I have created for the people who pledge to help Public Television, I have included two newly-written books, an extensive video course complete with motion graphics, three booklets, a quiz, and a newsletter. The package also comes with the DVD of the show, as many may miss the showtimes.
One of the booklets I have written Is called “Making it Happen”. It targets the exact barriers preventing an investor from getting started correctly. This booklet also contains a self-quiz defining your readiness.
This booklet, coupled with all the other extensive information, and the PBS Special itself, which hits the important points, should get anyone up an running in no time. I will also happily support any investor, as we have already changed the lives of thousands, and I believe in continuing to change lives for the better.
