The first year of real estate investing comes with numerous challenges, adjustments and variables that you won’t encounter in the 9 to 5 world. What are some of the obstacles investors face in their first year? What are the variables we need to be prepared for? How do we use these lessons to become better leaders? In this episode of the Real Estate Money School, investor Robert Heyder shares his personal journey and how he built up his business to owning and managing 110,000 sq/ft of commercial property.
Three Things We Learned
Don’t leave the 9-5 too
quickly
Many of
us want to leave the 9-5 world as soon as possible to invest
full-time, but there are advantages to holding onto a steady income
source. It helps you get bank financing, and can supplement your
income in that first year.
Bad deals provide necessary learning
Bad deals happen, and even though they create a
lot of stress and strain on our businesses and finances, we can
learn a lot from them. The challenges that come with bad deals will
teach us lessons that will make us better
investors.
Our reactions to challenges impacts our
teams
Real estate
investing isn’t always easy and there are many low points where we
may become discouraged. It’s easy for our negative mindset to
affect our team, and bring their morale down. It’s important to set
expectations with people upfront to know that hard moments can
happen.
