Strategies For Making Money With Real Estate InvestingBy: Curt Cloyd – Director

Personal Wealth Academy, LLCYou'll hear all kinds of so-called "gurus" who shout from the rooftops about how easy it is to start making money with real estate investing...While at the same time, you'll hear tons of horror stories from friends, family or acquaintances about how they lost everything in a feeble attempt at making money with real estate investing.Here's the disconnect. Real estate investing is easy - but NOT in the beginning! It only becomes easy once you have the right knowledge, intense focus and a clear plan of action that you implement consistently...There’s a couple of ways that you can go about getting started with making money with real estate investing. The first and most popular method to learn real estate investing is the information product route. It looks like this:You buy a book, course or pay to attend a seminar. Usually they are packed with great information that can really make a difference in your life. And from time to time they are not.In order to succeed with this method, you must be able to take that information you learned in a short period of time and work on implementing it in the proper order all by yourself. You have to be able to keep yourself motivated and more importantly, you have to deal with the inevitable uncertainties that will arise by yourself.You can be certain of this - there will always be something that wasn’t accounted for in the information you purchased!Most people are unable to do this on their own. They’ll unsuccessfully try a few things, never how it was supposed to be done, then they’ll get frustrated and quit. They blame the information product that was purchased for their failure, saying it didn’t work.Thinking that it was simply the product being bad, they’ll go searching around for other products, buying up all kinds of books, courses, etc. The cycle repeats itself until the person decides that investing in real estate doesn’t work period.This is where all the horror stories come from. It’s out of failure from the attempt at making money with real estate investing using the product method.Information products are excellent for enhancing knowledge and learning new strategies. However, if you are trying to rely on them to launch your real estate investing career or to take your career to the next level, they will always fail you.The second method that you can take is using real estate coaching or mentorship services. Having a real estate coach is the superior way to start making money with real estate investing for numerous reasons. Let’s talk about a few of them.When you buy a real estate investing product, it is always designed around one specific strategy or method. And the thing is that there are many, many ways to invest in real estate. The strategy that you employ needs to best be suited for your particular situation, taking into account things like your current financial position and your tolerance to risk (among other things).You really have no way of knowing if a particular strategy taught in a product is right for your situation until AFTER you buy the product and have spent time going through it.If it’s not right for you, you just wasted a bunch of your precious time. And if you are like most people, you may have had the product sitting around for a while before you even started going through it. By the time you realize it’s not right for you, you may no longer be eligible for a refund and thus wasted the money you spent on the product.

"We have taken a lot of real estate investment training and coaching. We would have done better investing that money directly into real estate. PWA is different. The staff gives us real, practical, hands-on suggestions and direction. We aren’t restricted to some per-arranged, thirty-minute, coaching period or weekly group coaching session."Neil & Kathy PageWorking with a real estate coach will help you to short cut that entire process.

You need an expert who understands the rules and will teach you exactly how, where and when to play the game. Your coach will also help you organize your team to set you up to work together and win.You may be wondering about individual sports like golf or tennis.
