Success Tips For Real Estate Investors

Than Merrill

At many of my real estate seminars I am often asked the question “what does it take to become a successful real estate investor?” More specifically what are the intangibles that separate successful real estate investors from their less successful counterpart’s? If I had to boil it down to three components it would be knowledge, systems, and action.

Knowledge
Knowledge is power. This statement is paramount in its application to real estate investing. In the real estate game, the most knowledgeable players are always the most successful.  Knowledgeable investors thrive on information and they are consistently seeking and finding resources to improve their knowledge base. The information they seek is specialized knowledge, the finer details you might say, within the niche in which they operate. If you do not continue to acquire knowledge at a rapid pace, you will fall behind the curve. To stay on the cutting edge in any field you must continually seek new information. With the ever changing real estate market, those who are educated will always be in a better position to succeed.

Business Systems
Systems run businesses. When you create a solid system and implement that system in your business, you are setting up the infrastructure to be successful. Truly efficient companies have detailed systems in place. This allows them to insert new people at any time into any position and not skip a beat. By doing this, you can remove yourself from certain responsibilities as well as replace employees whenever the need to do so arises. This allows you to run your business rather than have your business run you. If you are not able to create an effective system, you will always be a prisoner within your own business.

Business Systems allow you to duplicate your business in other markets. All successful franchise operations have detailed business systems that allow them to efficiently and effectively replicate their businesses at new locations. Whether your plan is to open one store or a hundred stores, a solid business system will make this process possible.

Action
Without action, knowledge and business systems will not accomplish anything. You can go out and acquire all the knowledge you wish and create an excellent business system along with that knowledge, but if you do not take action and implement your ideas, they are wasted. This is the step that many people will never accomplish. Action separates those who do from those who only dream of doing. Many people are afraid to take action and as a result never become successful. While taking action is a risk, through education and system development you can minimize that risk. Successful business owners take action everyday and as a result expose themselves to risk and failure. This is inherent in any business, including real estate. With great risk come great rewards.

Successful Business Practices for Real Estate Entrepreneurs

Than Merrill

I have dedicated a large part of my life to studying business practices of real estate investors and other successful business leaders. I wanted to find out what separated successful business leaders from others who failed to build a long term sustainable business?

There is a saying that all businesses runs optimally in between chaos and control. Likewise, the success of the business is dependent upon the inner-workings and ability of the leader to balance these two qualities. I have found balanced businesses are often “Built to Last.” Meaning the leader and the organization itself are flexible enough to make adaptations to business opportunities yet still detailed enough to produce a quality product, service, and customer experience.

Chaos
I have found unfocused, disorganized, and generally sporadic businesses often produce results that leave much to be desired. If the leader is chaotic in their actions then products and services are often rushed to the marketplace often producing lackluster results. Likewise, when the leader of an organization is in a constant state of flux it confuses employees who need direction. When a business lacks direction it becomes more difficult to leverage the talents of its employees.

I experienced this problem first hand when I started hiring my first few employees. At the time my business partners and I were moving so fast we never sat down to create detailed job descriptions for our first few employees. I threw these first few hires into the fire and expected them to catch on and produce immediately. I was literally flying by the seat of my pants and as a result of my lack of planning it made their jobs very difficult because they never knew what we were going to be doing next. Flying by the seat of your pants works for many entrepreneurs, but it seriously hinders the growth of many new hires.

The inherent problem was my lack of patience and focus. Being an easily excitable person meant I was often going in a million different directions at once. I wanted to build Rome in a day and as a result I wasn’t laying the proper foundation for my business. My foundation was being built with incomplete ideas and unfinished projects.

It wasn’t until I realized I needed to slow down before I could speed up. This is a common problem for many entrepreneurs. Creative people with visionary ideas are often bored and lack the focus it takes to build a long term sustainable business. The entrepreneur moves from idea to idea and the employees are left to pick up the pieces.

Control
Perfectionism is often equated to excellence. After all haven’t you seen the works of Michaelangelo, Twain, and Edison. Perfectionists can produce some amazing things. However, I truly believe this is a common misnomer when it comes to the business world. In the business realm perfectionists often act too slowly and as a result miss opportunities. If your forever focused on the details you sometimes miss your opportunity.

I have experienced this first hand when it comes to the world of real estate investing. I have seen a lot of investors miss great opportunities because of their perfectionist personalities. Perfectionists want to gather all of the information and have a tendency to overanalyze everything. As a result they are slow to act and miss opportunities. All successful real estate entrepreneurs know good real estate deals don’t last long and are often snatched up by investors who act with only 50% of the information. If you are a perfectionist who must always dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s you will still be analyzing the business opportunity when someone else is taking advantage of it.

Balance
I think successful people understand the importance of balancing the speed at which they operate. They understand they must be focused enough yet still flexible enough to take advantage of small windows of time. I have consistently battled this throughout the life of my business. The only way I overcame this problem was by setting weekly goals focusing on only the most important projects which would build the foundation of my business. However, I was sure to leave a small amount of time during the day and on the weekends to look at new business opportunities that came my way.
