Four Tips For New Real Estate Investors

Investments

Ready to invest in real estate, but don’t know how to get started? Don’t worry, that’s a common problem faced by all new investors. We’ve compiled a list of some of our tried-and-true tips to help you start investing in one of the most profitable markets.


Find Support

Read any career self-help guide and you’ll be told to get a mentor. While you might be tired of hearing this, there’s a reason why finding a mentor is important, especially for new investors. 

Mentors can provide valuable advice on investing based on their own personal experiences. Since they’ve been through the process, they can tell you what to do and, more importantly, what not to do. They can also keep you accountable, provide words of encouragement, and give you unbiased advice. Just remember that if you have questions, there’s someone with answers!


Network, Network, Network

It’s time for every professional’s favourite buzzword - networking! Many people think networking is only useful for finding jobs, but it’s also a great way to build your knowledge. From conferences to coffee chats, connect with investors who can share some of their tips, insights, and experiences. As a bonus, you might even be able to find your mentor here.


Identify Your Interests

Real estate investing is a broad term, but that means there’s a lot of options for you to pick from. Maybe you’re interested in buying rental properties. There’s also house flipping or real estate investment funds. Regardless of what you choose, it’s important to find out what you’re interested in so you can start building your knowledge in that area, networking with the best people, and putting your cash in the right place.


Save For Your Investment

Have you ever heard the term “you need money to make money”? While it’s true. In order to start making great returns with real estate investing, you need to have some cash to invest. This doesn’t mean you need millions of dollars to get started, but it’s important to save so you can afford to invest in your first rental, property flip, or investment fund. Once you do this, you’re ready to start making money.
