Real Estate Investing 101

OK, so you have seen this title before, by many real estate investing gurus and sites. But this is different. This is the REAL Real Estate Investing 101 - the stuff those others are not talking about.

Real estate investing does not begin with a seminar, boot camp, or even a real estate course. It begins before that. It begins with proper preparation of self; building on negotiation skills, because every transaction is a negotiation, and making important connections, because successful investing is not a one-person sport - it requires bringing people together, and working with them. But even before that, it requires a "special" attitude.

I have been investing successfully in real estate for over a half century, and I created "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" training course,  and I can tell you that success is not guaranteed simply by knowing the mechanics of methods and strategies. Yes, those are crucial, but they are also not worth much if the would-be investor is not properly prepped.

Like any other career, success is best achieved when the individual has DESIGNED his or her success with purpose. For example, before a doctor practices medicine, he or she must first learn latin and take other courses that may seem irrelevant for using a scalpel, and then must intern. While real estate investing is not brain surgery, it does require that certain ancillary knowledge and personal traits are honed. It's not hard, but it will super-charge success.

And that's where my free eBook, "Success - By Design" comes in. And it really is free - you don't have to sign in, sign up, or even provide your name or email. And while it is not the "be all or do all" tome for self-prepping, I guarantee if you read it, learn it and live it you will be more likely to succeed in every aspect of life - work, family, romance - and yes, real estate investing.

Downloaded over 4,000,000 times, I have never asked readers to pay anything for it. All I have ever asked is that, if you find any value in it, that you pass it along to everyone you care about - relatives, friends, associates, FaceBook or Twitter followers - because most people can receive benefit from it.

"Success - by Design" is the perfect companion to "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate", the lowest cost yet most effective training course available. Check them both out - it costs nothing to look.
