WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Author: Annetta Powell

I admit, with all the negative coverage on the state of real estate investing today, it is easy to fall in line with others, thinking that the market is just too risky right now. However, we take risks everyday; most of which we do not even realize. Think about it, when we get in our vehicles each morning and maneuver along the city streets on our way to work, we are taking a risk. Each time we hurry to the airport, settle in and buckle our seatbelts, anticipating our long awaited and well deserved family vacation we are taking a risk. The bottom line is we place our safety, well being and even our futures in the hands of others every day. It is time to take control of your future, cash in on foreclosures and get on the path to financial freedom today.
There are a few reasons people do not invest in real estate; the greatest is fear. There is an acronym for fear that I love: False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure and even fear of success can stand in the way of the life you always dreamed of. The only solution to fear is facing it head on. When I first told my family my plans of retiring from corporate America to become an entrepreneur, they thought I was crazy. We have all been taught to obtain the American dream, we have to get a college education and work for thirty years. I realized at a young age, I was never going to become a millionaire working for someone else, so I faced my fear of the unknown, took a leap of faith and trusted that my future situation would certainly be an improvement from my current situation.
At the same time, there are those who are afraid of failure. I surrounded myself with others who also craved success, building a dream team of professionals. I immersed myself in research and have dispelled the current myths about real estate investing. There is a plethora of information available to anyone who is serious about changing the course of their life forever. Do not buy into negativity, horror stories, and the many “what ifs” regarding real estate investing. Sure, I made costly mistakes, but with time, I perfected the techniques of finding, fixing and flipping properties for profit. Now as an expert, I am training others the art of my craft.
Finally, there is the fear of success. For those of you suffering from this, all I can say is take a look around. If real estate investing was such a risky venture, why are investors from as far as Hong Kong coming to the United States in droves buying homes at wholesale prices? Take note of the constant corporate downsizing, there placement of human labor with robotics, the rising cost of fuel and cost of living. We cannot wait for the economy to improve or gas and food prices to decrease, we must make more money. I have sold over 500 properties totaling over $50 million in real estate sales.
