Linda’s Letter Join Me On This Journey Towards Wealth with Real Estate! W hat an incredible year it’s been so far. We’ve seen our media team grow, produced expos in new cities, and welcomed new compa- nies as clients. Yet with all the activity of running a publishing business and a busy household, I still found time to make real estate offers. How about you? Are you making offers? That is the first step towards success as an investor. How are you going to enjoy financial freedom from real estate tomorrow, if you don’t make any offers today? MAKE OFFERS! It’s also crucial to make solid, loyal and long-term rela- tionships in this business. Real estate success is not based on the knowledge or efforts of solely one individual. Suc- cess as an investor is a team effort. Choose your associates wisely, and be loyal to them. I’ve seen so many people drop their broker or business colleagues or try to go around them, just to save a few thou- sand dollars. Don’t do that! If someone gives you their abso- lute best effort and invests their energy to help you become successful, you should reward them by treating them well and respecting their time. Networking is the first step to building relationships in this industry. I’ve developed many long-term friendships and partnerships from attending Linda Pliagas, Publisher industry functions. So get out there and mingle and connect with other like-minded indi- viduals. The next person you meet at your local mixer can be the one who brings you the next house to rehab or helps you identify a fantastic rental. Remember: Success is a journey, not a destination. Along the way, we will meet people who can really impact our life and help us get to where we want to go. It’s so reassuring that we don’t have to go at this alone! Until next time: Make offers, go find the deals by letting people know what you do, and let us know if we can help you. We are here for you on this journey... Linda Pliagas
