5. Practice Makes Perfect

Stop talking and start doing....

Yup, you can start practicing your basics real estate investing skill by looking at the papers in the property section. Or even the internet. Try to phone every number you have on that list and see what kind of offers they have.

You can also walk around the area you live and take notice of houses for sale signs.

Since real estate is a numbers game, you have to deal with numbers all the time.

But don't worry. Once you get a hang of it(by practising), it'll be second nature to you.

Speaking of practicing, when you're ready to start.....

Every business has a plan. And real estate is your business.

Having a plan is essential if you want to achieve your investing goals. Start by putting everything on paper.

This includes your goals, the number of properties you want to invest, and the amount of money you wish to make. Braindump every single aspect of your goals by writing it down.

You can also hire a financial planner to make a plan for you. But most important of all, stick with your plan.
