Before you embark on your real estate investment journey, it’s critical that you do your due diligence in regards to your turnkey investment company. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—not all such companies are created equal. Any and every investment decision demands your due diligence, and that most certainly includes your turnkey provider.

For new real estate investors, the challenges of investing can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. When you’re delving into uncharted territory, you have to have someone you trust in your corner. That’s why it is so valuable for new investors to partner up with the right people. When it comes to investing in turnkey real estate, it is critical that on both sides, the relationship is of the highest priority.

It has been a little over a month since my book, The Turnkey Revolution released and it's been quite a ride! In fact, last month it reached #9 on 800-CEO-READ's Business Bestsellers for May of 2018. It also hit #1 on Amazon's Hot New Releases List for Buying and Selling Homes. I'm thrilled with the success of the book, but even more excited for the readers who are now more educated about turnkey investing!

Does the idea of investing in real estate intimidate you? If you’ve never invested or only ever invested in stocks or similar investments, something so self-directed can be a lot to handle. It’s not that you don’t want to invest in real estate. You’ve heard great things.

Envision your future as a real estate investor. What do you see? A retirement in a beach house? Being independently wealthy? Building a business for yourself as a successful investor? There are many paths you can go down in real estate investment. Getting there, however, is a different story.

Taking the plunge as a turnkey real estate investor is the first step to the beginning of a bright financial future. You’ve found your turnkey provider that you trust, you’ve started building a solid relationship, purchased the property, and started generating passive income.

So...now what?

Anyone who knows me knows I love to read. I'm always looking for ways to educate myself on my interests, but I also enjoy a page-turning novel as well!

I wanted to put together a list of resources for you, books that I can honestly say have impacted me both personally and professionally. As you can tell, not all of these are real estate books, but they are all related to the success mindset! I strongly believe that in order to succeed, you have to surround yourself with the right people, the right resources, and the right attitude and these books are a great place to get started! If you're wanting to become a more successful investor and entrepreneur, I hope you check these titles out - each book image is linked to Amazon for easy shopping!

There’s something attractive about the idea of a transformation. We see it captured in our media over and over again. It’s famously captured in Shaw’s Pygmalion, it’s on nearly every HGTV show.

We’re enamored with before and afters, fascinated with how something can be turned around. More importantly, in the world of real estate investment, we're interested in how a transformation can turn a profit.

What makes a company good? We have many different metrics that define our standards of service. When we work with a company, whether in a short-term engagement (like purchasing a product or dealing with their customer service representatives) or in the long-term (like buying a subscription service or partnering in a long-term arrangement), there are certain expectations that we have. Certain ways we desire to be treated.

Embarking on a new adventure can be intimidating. A new job, a new chapter of life, and yes—even a new investment opportunity.

When there’s a barrier of experience and education, we often find ourselves feeling anxious and out of our element.

Here’s the good news: jumping into real estate investment doesn’t have to be overwhelming or difficult. For passive real estate investors, there’s great opportunity in turnkey real estate: if you’re dealing with the right provider.
