Wholesaling Real Estate-Why most investors fail
Why do most real estate investors fail?
The answer may appear easy at first, but let me tell you it probably isn't what you are thinking. Many people assume that most investors fail because they are either lazy, dumb, or have no money.
What if I were to tell you that none of those answers are correct?
Have you ever read a great real estate book, been to a great real estate seminar, or have just been reading online and have gotten hype, I mean mind blowing hype? It feels almost as if the creator himself has reached down and said "Go Forth and Make Money in Real Estate".
If your anything like I was, this happens far more often than what you would like to admit. I'll get to that in a second.........
So after the creator has spoken to you, you start thinking of all of your options, so many options, so many ways to make money. Perhaps you are even losing sleep now, because of all of the ways you are going to make money in real estate. Your mind is going crazy with visuals, you in your sports car, you sitting on the beach or at the pool in some gorgeous tropical location. You maybe picturing exactly how it will look when you walk in and tell your boss to "Take this job and shove it". Won't that feel good.
All of the sudden your mind is FINALLY free flowing with all of these ideas that you have learned, you are in the zone. Why has your mind waited all this time to finally open up? Finally, it is your time. THIS IS NOT YOUR PRACTICE LIFE, and finally things are falling into place. You will have so much more time to spend with family, so much more time to spend doing the things you have always wanted. Never again will you have to wake up and dread going to work. This is awesome, you feel great.
Then maybe 22 hours later, things have somehow changed, there seems to be no possibility left in the world. Life is tough again, that boss who you just told to "shove it", is now back to slowly stealing your precious hours on this earth, not to mention your pride. That sports car, has somehow turned back into your "not so sporty car", and the idea tropical vacation seems to have washed away faster than your real estate dreams.
Real estate dreams? "Nobody can really make money in real estate!, Heck the whole market is bad, especially around here. I think I am going to wait and save some money up, study some more, then when the market gets better I will start doing real estate". \

How could this happen? Has the world somehow changed in the last 22 hours?
Maybe it's just you. Maybe your crazy.
I wish it were that easy.
Well, I have bad news, and good news. The bad news is not much much in the world has changed over the last 22 hours, except you. The good news is, that not much in the world has changed in the world over the last 22 hours, except YOU. Hmmmmm...........
YOU are the problem. YOU are the reason you have been stuck in a rut. YOU are the reason the world seems to have changed over night. Except..........
It is not the YOU that comes to mind first. The YOU that I am talking about is your mind trying to protect YOU, from you. Ok, now your confused, and I really don't want to get philosophical on you. In fact I can't, I am not that smart!
Your mind has turned on you. Your subconscious has went into protection mode. It has started telling you all of the things that you have heard throughout your life that were supposed to protect you. It is now giving you all of the reasons that you are going to fail, why you can't make it, and why it would be a total waste to even try. It is telling you "Stick with what you know", you know the 9-5 that you hate. Your mind wants to stick with what you know because it associates failure with pain and failure comes with doing something new (like real estate investing).
So how can you beat your mind?
Essentially what you need is someone to tell you the opposite of what your mind is telling you. For most people it is next to impossible to do on your own. Don't even think about going to other people (friends, and family), they are the ones that put the voices in your mind in the first place. Think for a moment about the things your mind tells you. Sound familiar, perhaps like the voices of you friends and family who you have told about your real estate dreams.
No, this is not some cheesy coaching program, where you will talk to a hired crony, that has never has invested a day in his life. This is rock solid mentorship, by me. You will have my personal phone number and email to call anytime.
I am not going to brag and tell you what I can do. I will tell you what I have done so far. I currently own 35+ rental units, I have made over $150,000 in 2007 wholesaling real estate and flipping properties. I have a been a realtor for over 6 years and have completed over 200 transactions. I have helped other investors make hundreds of thousands investing in real estate. I currently have 7 homes that I am rehabbing. Not long ago I was borrowing money from my mom to buy groceries. You can see my articles in the additional help section at www.BiggerPockets.com as well as www.EzineArticles.com. You can also view many of my numerous real estate postings by googling Eric Medemar
or visit my blog at http://www.TheMillionairesBlog.com
I do real estate full time, I have my dream house, dream job, dream cars and dream life. I get out of bed when I want to, I go to work when I want to, I spend time with my family when I want to. I have been lucky enough to realize this is not my PRACTICE LIFE. This is the big game. I am not guaranteed a tomorrow, nor are you, so what are you waiting for?
How long have you been "thinking about investing"? Thinking about investing, for more than a month or two means you are "Thinking about not investing".
How long have you been "Getting ready to get ready", "Preparing to prepare"? Oh, I am sure if you listen to one more CD, or read one more article then you will make it big in real estate. Yeah right.
Do you believe in the power of your subconscious mind? Do you want to hear it talk? STOP! Listen for a minute, right now I bet it is telling you, "You have been here before, don't buy anything, you'll get ripped off, this guy just wants your money". I have news for your subconscious "I DON'T NEED YOUR MONEY",
"Believe me if you want to start investing, you need me, far more than I need you"
So why do I charge for mentoring? If you haven't figured it out yet there are two things that are scarce on this planet and they are time and money. If I take time to help you succeed, then I can either take time away from my job which pays very well, or my family which a price cant be put on. I think you get the picture.
You might be asking yourself "OK if your so successful at real estate then why do mentoring?" Well to be honest, it is something that I actually enjoy doing more than real estate itself. I like to make a difference in peoples lives by teaching them what I know.
I can help you silence that voice of failure inside your head. With my knowledge and your desire, we will duct tape that voices mouth shut for good.
I am taking on 8 people to mentor for the year (the next 365 Days). Not all students will be taken, I reserve the right to cancel your mentoring if I don't feel you are up to standard (you don't want it enough) after our first phone conversation, and a full refund will be given promptly. You will also have the opportunity to cancel within 24 hours of our first conversation if you feel that I am not up to your standard as a mentor.
The price is $499 this includes giving you my personal number (616-813-9773), my personal email address theforeclosurecollege@yahoo.com , all calls will be returned within 24 hours.
What to expect:
1. Within 2 days of joining our program I will personally call you to find out where you are at, and where you want to be in your real estate business.
2. From that call I will personally layout a real estate success plan that will serve as your roadmap to investment success.
3. Once you have started implementing your real estate program, I will be there to help you get past any obstacles that may be in your way.
4. I will be your personal mentor, whatever you need, I can help. My goal is to make you a "mini me", my knowledge will be your knowledge. You will never have to make any of the costly mistakes that I had to make on my way up.
If you are teetering on joining the program feel free to call me direct at the number above (leave a message) or email me, and I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
I know that you may be able to find a mentor for FREE in your area, but from my own mistakes I have realized that local mentors don't show you everything they know, they don't want to end up competing with you on deals.
Thank you,
