What are you talking about? Pay it Forward with Real Estate and Get Paid? I would like to share how YOU can give back to people that you don't even know by "Paying it Forward with Real Estate". That means that you give your knowledge in real estate to others for a better future for not only that individual but their family. As I was growing up, I always heard go to school, go to college and then get a good job. For what? So I can work for a living? Everyone has the American Dream of becoming financially free and being able to do what they want, when they want and how they want. That is why learning how to do real estate with "no money" really appeals to the public. I find so many people attend seminar after seminar wanting to learn how to do real estate. The fact is, they learn how to do real estate but they don't do it. Why you ask? Well let me tell you - it is FEAR or the JOB that gets in the way.
Let's talk about FEAR of the first deal. There are different types of personalities in this world and that is why some people will take what they learn and do it while others just sit and think about it over and over again. They are so afraid of doing something wrong that they don't do anything at all. Realistically once they get over the first deal; it is smooth sailing for some.
The JOB: This takes up so much time in everyone's life that when people get off work, they don't want to do anything else that would be considered another job. That is why they call it a job because everyone is "J"ust "O"ver "B"roke and for a lot of individuals if they stay in their job that is exactly where they will be for their entire life. You need to change your mind set that real estate is not just another job but a vehicle that you ride to reach financial freedom.
How YOU can pay it forward in real estate is start sharing your knowledge and wisdom of how you locally invest in real estate. I started investing in real estate in 1998 and attended every seminar I could. It was like going to college and getting my diploma. That is why I am a "Real Estate Junkie". What I found after attending seminars that I would come back to my local area and see the same people that went to the seminars. I would always ask them have they done a deal yet? The answer most of the time would be "NO". They started calling me on a regular basis asking me about how to invest in real estate locally. I would spend hours and hours on the telephone telling them everything that they needed to do locally. What I found though, was when I got off the telephone, I would have forgotten 1 or 2 things that they needed to know since I always would teach from beginning to the end of the deal. I helped a lot of individuals over the years with their deals making them thousands of dollars. I really felt "GREAT".
Did you know that Henry Ford was a very smart man? He was smart because he surrounded himself with a team of individuals who knew all the answers to all the questions that he didn't know. All he had to do was make a call to one of his team member's and instantly they would answer the question. Smart right? It was smart for him and it was smart for the team members. If you are new in real estate and you just need a helping hand, reach out and find that right person and see if you can join their team.
What type of real estate investing are you doing right now? Do you think that having an apprentice just like on Donald Trump's show would be something that you could do? He has his own apprentice program with people lining up to join. Apprentices have been around for thousands and thousands of years. You might even hear it called "Intern".
A friend of mine, Greg Mooers, taught me that everyone has a heart's true virtue and that once you find that heart's true virtue that you will excel in everything that you do. My heart's true virtue is that I am committed to empowerment, integrity and togetherness in people. With this in mind, building a team was simple. For individuals who always liked competition against others, might have a challenge with learning to share and be nice with each other. Helping people really make a difference not only in their world but their family's life. They need you!
What happened to me when I started sharing all of my information "Paying it Forward with Real Estate" was that my business started growing. I had individuals who wanted me to teach them how to invest in real estate AND split deals. It evolved into an Apprenticeship Business System where I had Apprentice Students that I would share my real estate knowledge with and they would pay me thousands of dollars for this service and split their deals with me and you can do this too with a system. I don't go looking for deals any more, I don't go looking for buyers, I just sit at my office and construct the deals and make money. It is a win - win situation. I felt even "GREATER" because not only was I teaching them locally what was working in real estate, I knew that I had helped them over come their fear. Now that they have learned how to do real estate and have done it, they too can pay it forward with real estate. What I am recommending to individuals who have the knowledge and the education is that you step up and help individuals locally get started in real estate by doing whatever type of real estate investing that you do. You will feel Great because you too will be Paying it Forward with Real Estate.
