Establish Your Buy Box 

When you're investing in real estate, it's really hard to get started. There's so many options of things that you can invest in. This is why you want to have a BUY BOX.

A buy box is a set of criteria that you're looking at to help you determine if a property is a fit. If you don't have an established buy box, you'll leave yourself analyzing every possible deal at any price point, with any type of investing strategy. Taking this approach will give you "analysis paralysis", and will probably leave you on the sidelines not investing in anything. You want to move forward with the right properties.

What makes up your real estate investing buy box?

Start Reviewing & Analyzing Deals

Think of reviewing and analyzing deals like lifting weights. When you first start out, it's going to feel clunky, you won't be efficient or effective, and you may not see the initial gains.

HOWEVER, when you do it more and more, you'll be able to quickly move through and analyze deals and recognize a great deal much more quickly and efficiently. 

So how do you get there? Daily or weekly practice. Set a goal to analyze a certain number of deals each day or week. Pretty quickly you'll realize how easy it is and you'll sort out which deals are worth spending more time on.

What Type Of Investor Do You Want To Be?

Oftentimes when people think about real estate investing, they are immediately concerned because they think that it means they'll have to respond to tenants phone calls at 2am staying that their toilet isn't working or they no longer have heat in their home, and you have to instantly drop everything and go help them out.

That's what I thought about too, until I got into it and realized that, depending on your personal preferences, there are many different layers that can insulate you from feeling like you're taking on a 2nd job managing the property or building your portfolio.

To reach your investing goals, people think that they have to give something up. They think it is an "either/or" conversation. "I can make money, but I have to give up my time to get there." What if it turned into a "both/and" conversation where you can have your cake and eat it too. "I can make money, AND keep all my free time." Now that's a mindset worth pursuing.
