Become a Successful Real Estate Investor

A lot of people are interested in finding out whether they can really make money by investing in real estate. Many people dream of becoming real estate investors, but not everyone has what it takes. However, Nouveau Riche Real Estate Investment College can give you the education and knowledge you need to take action and get started in real estate investing the right way the first time. If you're thinking of becoming an investor in real estate to create wealth there are several important questions to consider, long before you buy your first investment property. Nouveau Riche can expand on every aspect that you need to know about investing in real estate.

Here are some common questions that are asked or should be asked when individuals are thinking about getting started in real estate investing.

1) Why would a homeowner sell a house at a bargain price?
Many things happen in people’s lives that make their home suddenly become a burden. Some reasons may be loss of income, divorce, or illness as the most common, but sometimes a homeowner dies, leaving a home that none of their heirs want. In any case, the home has become a problem, which is where you, as an investor, come in. The homeowners, or the heirs, have a problem and you must find a way to offer a solution.

2) What types of houses should you look for?
Besides being owned by someone who no longer wants or can afford to stay in a property, you want to find a home that’s only tired, and not in need of structural work in order to favorably compete with similar houses on the market. We call that type of house a "doghouse."

3) How do you find fixer-uppers?
Your real estate agent can scan the MLS listings, looking for fixer-uppers, handyman specials, or as-is houses. You can also find similar properties yourself, using the local newspaper or shopper.

4) Should you try to close quickly?
This is an important step in becoming successful, because beleaguered sellers will almost always be in need of money in as short a time as possible. Get yourself prequalified and preapproved for a loan, so you can close on the property quickly. Being able to let sellers know they'll get paid fast will consistently net you more houses than your competition.

5) How do you flip houses fast?
Find ugly homes, in good neighborhoods, that need as little work as possible. Clean them up, paint them inside and out, and install a neutral shade of new carpet, and you should be able to flip the home in a short amount of time. Always keep your limitations in mind. Hiring professionals for repairs will cut into your profit margin.

These questions and answers are in their simplest form and should be elaborated upon thoroughly prior to taking your first step in real estate investing. Nouveau Riche can expand on these questions and a whole lot more by expert instructors that have real life experience in the field of real estate investing. And beyond the teaching of strategies and creative ways to invest in real estate, Nouveau Riche will also teach you the understanding of taxes and financial awareness that you need to maximize your profits and long term wealth that you can create when investing in real estate.

Become a Real Estate Investing Mentor

As you find success through the Nouveau Riche experience of education in real estate investing and along with the community that comes with it, you may find yourself being looked at as a mentor. Others within your community and network will see that you have expertise in an area that they want to know more about so they will come to you with questions and mentoring. Whether you are ready to become a real estate investing mentor or not, there are some aspects of mentoring that you should keep in mind.

Few bonds in life are more influential than those between an individual and their mentor. As you begin your journey toward becoming a mentor, you will need to thoroughly understand the basics of mentoring before entering into a relationship with the person or persons you will be mentoring.

Look at a role you are probably already familiar with. Most of us have had a supervisor, a boss or coach. Those people wore many hats. They acted as, delegators, role models, cheerleaders, policy enforcers, advocates, and friends. As a mentor you will wear these same hats. Mentors understand the need to assume a number of different roles during the course of a mentoring relationship, but successful mentors also share the same basic qualities:
· A sincere desire to be involved with the person or persons being mentored.
· Respect for the person or persons being mentored.
· Listen actively.
· Empathize.
· See solutions and opportunities.
· Be flexible and open.

As you and your mentee begin your communication; exploring values, interests and goals, you will find yourself making a difference and having a positive effect on a person's life. What you may also be surprised to see is that you will be learning more about yourself, too. Mentoring is a shared opportunity for learning and growth. Mentoring doesn't just affect the person being mentored. Mentoring provides significant benefits. As a mentor, you will be
· Making a difference in someone else's life.
· Learning about yourself.
· Giving back and contributing to the future.
· Having fun.

If you're still not sure you understand what is expected of a mentor then just ask the person looking to be mentored. Good mentors are willing to take time to get to know their mentees, to learn new things that are important to the person, and even to be changed by their relationship. Accept the challenges and rewards of mentoring for a period of six months to a year or longer and experience the benefits that will last each of you a lifetime.

There s a special bond that develops between a mentor and their students. Nouveau Riche allows you to develop friendships with a number of students and mentors. The Nouveau Riche Community Network is the support you need to create a successful real estate portfolio! Just by being a member of the Nouveau Riche Community, YOU will have exclusive access to real estate investor services, professional contacts, real estate investing opportunities, and best of all, the camaraderie of like-minded real estate investors! Jim Piccolo, CEO of Nouveau Riche, is often quoted saying, “Your net worth is directly tied to your network.”

How do I find a good Real Estate Investor to mentor from?

A good mentor will be concerned about your development as a real estate investor and will take the steps necessary to ensure that you are well versed in multiple investing strategies. He or she will share with you accumulated knowledge and advice about how to better market yourself. Whether you’re just getting started down the road towards fulfilling your real estate investing dreams or you’re a little more experienced, a good mentor can get you closer to the realization of your goals by showing you some of the tips, tricks, and other shortcuts that have fueled their success.

The problem many fledgling real estate investors face, and some with a little more experience is self doubt about their ability to put together profitable deals, as well as having numerous questions about when certain techniques would be most appropriate. These doubts and questions can easily be alleviated by knowledge and education, but a lot of real estate investors have trouble applying principles they may have read about, heard about, or seen in a short webinar. This is one of the primary areas a solid education and an experienced mentor can help increase their base of knowledge and give them the motivation and the direction they need to reach their goals and fulfill their investing dreams.

First of all, mentors aren’t all created the same. In order to be effective you have to have practical, relevant experience in the same kind of real estate investing as those you plan on teaching. A mentor can be one of the nation’s foremost authorities on creative commercial real estate investing techniques, but much of that knowledge and experience is pointless if you’re primarily interested in foreclosures, short sales, or rehabbing abandoned properties.

A good mentor will be concerned about your development as a real estate investor and will take the steps necessary to ensure that you are well versed in multiple investing strategies. He or she will share with you accumulated knowledge and advice about how to better market yourself, and provide you with essential real estate investing tips and strategies that you can implement in your own career. By understanding a variety of ways of structuring investment deals, you will not only increase your knowledge, but you will become comfortable crafting deals of your own.

In many cases, a mentor will work shoulder to shoulder with you in the field and explain to you why certain strategies may or may not be appropriate in a given situation. In addition, certain strategies can be altered or modified in a way that a less experienced real estate investor might not be aware of, or may not have even considered. When you’ve been around the block several dozen times, you learn things that a simple textbook just can t teach.

There s a special bond that develops between a mentor and their students. Nouveau Riche allows you to develop friendships with a number of students and mentors. The Nouveau Riche Community Network is the support you need to create a successful real estate portfolio! Just by being a member of the Nouveau Riche Community, YOU will have exclusive access to real estate investor services, professional contacts, real estate investing opportunities, and best of all, the camaraderie of like-minded real estate investors! Jim Piccolo, CEO of Nouveau Riche, is often quoted saying, “Your net worth is directly tied to your network.”
If you want to really ramp up your real estate investing career, you owe it to yourself and your future to thoroughly investigate the idea of working with an experienced mentor to shine a light on the opportunity you have to build a strong investment portfolio and a bright future for you and your family.
