WHAT
IS YOUR
WHY?
By Grant Trevithick
Are you interested
in becoming a real
estate investor?
Do you want to be your own
boss? Wouldn’t you rather keep all
the fruits of your labor for yourself,
instead of making some company
rich? Do you want the freedom of
owning your company, working
whenever you desire?
Most of us have watched the TV
shows of other people buying and
flipping houses. It is amazing to see
that someone can search an entire
city, find the property they want, do
the research to determine what the
offer should be, negotiate the deal
to purchase the property, secure the
financing, close on the purchase,
prepare the repair budget, do all the
repairs, market the property, find
the buyer, negotiate with the buyer,
and negotiate all the requirements
to finally get to the closing table. It
is amazing that each of these inves-
tors do all this in only 50 minutes,
?
with three to four commercial breaks,
and always seem to make allot of
money out of each house. as I make in a year doing three to
four houses, at least according to the
television shows.
Wow, if it were that easy, I would
want to jump into the game as well!
It surely would beat having to get
up each day and head into an office,
attend meeting after meeting, make
nice with an incompetent boss, do all
my work, and then go home and do
the same thing every day for the rest
of my life. That does not sound like
fun… so perhaps we can escape this
trap by being a real estate investor.
After all, I can make as much money WRONG!
Virtually every real estate investor
that I have ever met only talks about
the glamorous part of the business.
They only talk about how much
money they make and how much fun
they are having. First off, most of
the ones that do the talking are the
ones that have never bought or sold
a house, at least according to my
experience.
The reality is there are two types
of real estate investors: the normal
real estate investor and the success-
ful real estate investor.

The normal investor attends a lot
of classes and reads a lot of books.
