Investment Rental Property Advice Every Beginner Needs
I didn't get much advice when it came to my first investment rental property.
Although I had a business partner, he was also a beginning investor, so we made all the same mistakes most beginners make.
He did have some of the basic knowledge about finding properties and getting loans.
But buying properties and getting loans are the easy part of the business.
The mindset you need to be successful long term is a different story.
If you are fortunate enough to get advice from an experienced investor, you can develop the required mindset without having to go through the blind trial and error that most beginners suffer through.
This article will provide some much needed advice to help you succeed with your investment rental property.
Experience has shown that nothing good comes easy.
As a real estate investor, you must rely on yourself to make the right decisions.
You are responsible for finding the right property, getting the best loan, and taking care of that one unappeasable tenant.
I wish someone came to me early on and talked to me about these things.
Clearly, everything that glitters isn't gold.
If it looks too good to be true, nine times out of ten it is.
There are always issues behind the scenes that are just waiting to crop up.
When you discover them, don't let them discourage you.
I wish someone would have told me that a loan officer works on commission and they don't necessarily have your best interest in mind.
View them the same way you would a car salesman.
It's a business to them just as it is to you.
I also wish I was forewarned about the tenant from hell.
Never take it personal and always know you will still be successful long after that tenant is gone.
New carpet and a fresh coat of paint will help you forget that tenant was ever there.
Treat all tenants like they are future home buyers, but don't let anyone take your kindness for weakness.
In this business only the strong prosper and the weak wish they never started.
These are topics that don't necessarily have anything to do with the actual buying of the property, but are just as important to your eventual success.
These things may seem trivial, but mindset issues trip up so many would be real estate investors.
Hopefully you can use some of these tips and not let your dreams get derailed.
At least you'll be able to overcome the inevitable bumps in the road when they happen.
They happen to everyone.
You just need to keep pushing forward and believe in what you're doing.
Know that you're not the only person to have these problems.
Success with your investment rental property will come as long as heed the advice of others that have already achieved the success that you desire.
