Every sport has its rules. And if you are going to play the game, you need to know the rules of the game you are playing. Real estate investing is also a game with its own money rules. This means that you need to know the money rules of real estate investing if you want to invest in real estate.
The game of hockey has specific rules. If you want to play hockey, you need to know what the rules are and be willing to play the game by these rules. Can you imagine what would happen if you tried to play hockey with tennis rules? It wouldn't be hockey and it wouldn't be tennis. It's the same in real estate. You can buy real estate with consumer rules and you can buy real estate with investor rules. What happens when you attempt to invest in real estate with consumer real estate rules? Often, you will end up with a result you don't want.
Are there really consumer money rules for real estate? The most important rule is that you have to qualify to buy the real estate. This means that the most important considerations are whether you can pay for the real estate with your own money and whether you can qualify for credit. As a consumer, you will need great credit and enough money down payment. For a consumer real estate purchase, it is first of all about you.
These consumer rules often make it difficult when you want to buy property as an investor rather than a consumer. They can keep you from making money as a real estate investor. Often this is the reason why investors are unsuccessful when they attempt to invest in real estate. They think that they have to follow consumer rules when they invest in real estate. Instead of buying as an investor, they attempt to buy the same way they buy their own homes.
In an expensive market, many people can't even get into the game to buy their own homes. And in a very expensive market, it is almost impossible to charge enough rent to pay the mortgage. The result is that when people try to buy investment property using consumer money rules, most people cannot even get started. They can't pay the down payment or they dont have enough credit.
It is possible for people to build real estate portfolios following consumer rules. The problem is that buying real estate this way ties up your money and depends on your own credit. As a means to create financial independence, this is a long and laborious way to build wealth.
It's an interesting reality. We all live on the same planet together, but consumers and investors think different about money. The most successful real estate investors know that there is a different game with a different set of rules. Investors play the real estate game with a different set of money rules.
The first rule of successful real estate investing is to invest with investor rules rather than consumer rules. As a consumer, it\'s all about you. As an investor, it's about the property and the deal. The focus is taken away from you, your money, and your credit and directed to whether or not the deal makes sense. This is very good news for people who want to invest in real estate. You don't have to have a lot of money or excellent credit to invest. You do need to know the investor money rules.
