The seed can be small, but it can grow out of control in our minds. We can second-guess important decisions and stop ourselves from making the choices that are in our best interests.
Those are the choices that will spur us on to success in real estate investment!
When it comes to arguably the biggest decisions...
When it comes to our finances and especially when it comes to investments, we tend to get in this mindset of waiting for the right time.
We want the moment to be right. We want the market to be primed for the best deals, the best rates, the best chances for our success. While there’s nothing wrong with that per se, we have one big question that begs asking:
Property hunting can give any real estate investor a headache. It’s especially challenging when you’re looking for a property that is out-of-area.
If you’re outside of your local market, the first tool most of us go to nowadays is the Internet: we grab our laptops or smartphones and head online to scour property listings on the platforms we’ve come to know and trust.
Investing in real estate is great. But you know by now that we’re realistic about the business: we know that it comes with it’s fair share of angst and problems.
We’ve all been through, seen it, and been there. We’ve made our own mistakes and learned not to repeat them.
If you’re reading this article, then I have to believe that you are considering investing in real estate or at a minimum you are doing your research to make that decision.
I am sure you’ve no doubt been bombarded with a slew of information from a number of different sources as you've done your research with each one telling you something different.
Some will try to convince you that no, real estate investment is a terrible idea and you shouldn’t do it, ever!...while plenty more will say yes, this is the way to go if you want financial freedom.
We all know the typical ticks with fast cars, airplanes and sandy beach pictures in a hammock. To show a picture like that every once in a while while talking the retirement benefits is one thing. To use those images every single time you discuss real estate is quite another...
Kent Sr. launched his first podcast for Memphis Invest with co-host Kevin Hommel and this week they dive into two of the strengths that have built Memphis Invest into the Premier Turnkey real estate company in the country!
Focus and Discipline are two traits often used to describe Memphis Invest and Premier Property Management companies. This week Kent Sr. dives into these two disciplines and how they have shaped our company and his career as an entrepreneur. Pay attention, because this week, the podcast starts digging in and getting REAL!
2016 was a good year for real estate. In fact, a recent National Association for Realtors report showed that it was the best year in a decade for existing home sales, with 5.45 million homes sold—not including new construction.
With strong numbers through the end of the year and into January, real estate professionals were hopeful going into 2017. But what can we realistically expect this year?
Out of all the ways to prepare for your financial future, investing in real estate has grown increasingly in popularity over the past few decades. There are compelling reasons for that. For one, real estate investment offers flexibility that other types of investments, like stocks and bonds, just don’t. You direct the course of your real estate investments yourself—choosing what properties to buy, where to buy them, how and when to scale, what types of properties to choose, how to leverage capital, and more.
With Turnkey Real Estate investing gaining in popularity as investor realize there is a way to be passive and invest in long-term buy & hold at the same time, real estate as an option has grown even more. Passive options like investing in turnkey properties have attracted many investors, both experienced and inexperienced, both flush with resources and just starting out. The one thing in common among passive investors is that they know they do not have the time to devote to learning how to actively learn real estate.
There are endless variations on strategy and practice when it comes to building your financial...
Every real estate investor starts in pretty much the same place: feeling more than a little nervous, with a vague ‘in theory’ idea of what they’re doing, and with a lot of work ahead of them.
For new real estate investors, getting your proverbial ducks in a row can seem like a huge task from the get-go. For everyone that reads our blog and sees a $100 Million company, just remember that there was a time when we were beginners too! Memphis Invest knows exactly what it feels like to be getting started and the details an investor needs to pay attention to.
There are so many details to take care of and so many things that you need before you can really get going! However, our experience has shown us that investors often put the emphasis on the wrong "must-haves" and "must-dos". Investors have to stay focused on the right priorities and a big priority is the environment a real estate investor creates to work.
