8 Ways To Achieve Your Property Investment Goals

Did you ever dream of owning a rental property? Or a whole portfolio?

Investment is no longer for the special few or rich people. It is open to anyone at any age or from any walk of life. 

The trouble is most clever people like you don’t really believe they can build a million pound property portfolio

How do I know? Well I had a long list of excuses myself before I started out as a youngster. They went something like this:

• I don’t have any money
• I have no idea how to invest in anything
• I don’t have any experience.
• It looks so scary. Oh dear, what if anything goes wrong and I lose all my money?
• It’s too early for me, nobody becomes a property investor at my age

I had plenty more. What you realise is that all these excuses are the obstacles your brain puts in the way. They’re the lies you tell yourself whenever you decide to do something that makes you feel a little uncomfortable.

These obstacles are bad for you and make you want to give up. Bad for you, bad for your future and bad for your motivation.

I can tell you the reason I chose to be a property investor was because I didn’t want to spend my days helping my boss get richer. I didn’t want to work in a record store even if I had access to all the rare records I wanted.

My advice to you is don’t let the obstacles in your mind hold you back. Start investing now and follow these 8 ways to achieve you property dreams. 

1. Think big. Follow your investment ambitions, you never know where they might lead.

2. Don’t waste time. The time to start investing for the future is now, not tomorrow, next week or in a year’s time.

3. Don’t be afraid of failing. If you fear failure you end up wasting time, (see list of the objections above).  

4. Get help. All successful investors had a little help at some point. Don’t be afraid to ask for it.

5. Practice self-belief. Tell yourself you are going to be a successful investor every day. Then you will believe it. 

6. Ignore the doubters.  Particularly when you start out.  The chances are the people who doubt you haven’t achieved any investment goals. Prove them wrong. 

7. Be patient. Property investment isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. Plan for the long term.

8. Don’t be afraid to share your experiences with others. Giving advice and helping others should be a habit right from the start. You never know when you might need that help and support yourself.
