Real Estate Investing and Meeting New People

I was invited to a party the other night but I did not know the party hosts very well and to put it simply, I really didn't feel like attending.

The truth of the matter is that I have been asked to go to gatherings just like this in the past where I do not know anyone, but at my girl friend's insistence, of course I end up in attendance.

Why didn’t I want to go?

I had, in my mind, created a false sense of fear of attending…which was not at all based in reality.

I had imagined myself standing awkwardly in the corner, earnestly trying to discover something to talk about - even though I tried really hard, I always had a hard time connecting with other people that I did not know. I never was able to find common ground, the convos were always awkward, add in some obnoxious music and I always had a bad time.

That is pretty much how I always used to picture myself at a party.

Have you ever had a party experience similar to mine?

These are the parties you go to where you think to yourself you’d actually rather be trapped at the dentist office for a week than suffering through this agonizing torture….

But what if, instead of dreading the party, I had expected and pictured myself enjoying it?

So instead of being all by myself in the corner of the room…imagine if I had pictured being engaged in a great experience, surrounded by awesome and interesting people interested in what I had to say, taking part in great conversation, while my favorite music played in the background, feeling completely comfortable and at ease?

How about if I had expected an experience more in tune with the above mentioned party, do you think I may have had an easier time attending the party, and possibly even wanted to attend the gathering?

The Mindset that You Need to Develop to Successfully Flip Homes

Imagine being able to change this perception not only when you are faced with a decision to go to a party…but how about when you make your very first deal on flipping a house?

Lets say that you have worked extremely hard, in order to begin your career in real estate you find the perfect house flipping opportunity. Every sign is yelling yes. Finally you have uncovered a good price, the financing is all lined up, you have a handle on expected costs and you are sure about what you will be able to sell the property for.

However you still picture everything going all wrong, the home just sitting there with no interest from buyers, as you sit there, helpless, watching your profit deteriorate…

How successful can you possible be with this extremely pessimistic attitude?

Not unless you change the PERCEPTION of pain versus pleasure.

Instead picture the house selling for thousands more than your worst case price, under one month, with you walking away with a very tidy profit for you and your joint venture partners as well as your financers.

To be successful you must adopt this sort of mindset.

What this is not is just a wild assumption that things will go well just because you PERCEIVE it will...far from it. You need to have a specific strategy that diminishes the odds of a really awful deal - so you can place yourself in a position to recieve the value and wonderful feelings instead of focusing on the pain .

First and foremost to acquire this type of house flipping mindset, and once you have mentally prepared be sure to then expect success in your mind as to all you have to GAIN by doing the deal.

This is the mindset you need to flip houses and the first step to making any success real estate investing, or house flipping career.
