Real Estate Investors Need Not Worry About Competition, Focus on Marketing!
Worrying too much about competition for your investing business in your area can really cause you unnecessary troubles. Let me tell you, there are plenty of deals to go around if you’re actively looking for them. And whether you believe me or not, competition is a good thing. It’s healthy and it makes you fight harder. It makes you think more creatively. It makes you want to win. If you are in a race and somebody’s running behind you and they’re trying to beat you, you’re going to do everything you can to run that much faster so that way you win.
The same thing with competition in this business, if you see other people out there advertising that they’re real estate investors get creative and start ramping up your marketing. But don’t let that competition bring you down, because there are plenty of deals to go around.
And the types of deals that you do might be completely different than the types of deals that your competition does. So, there are multiple ways to buy and sell properties. So, don’t ever, ever let competition discourage you from continuing to grow your business.
In fact, it would probably be a good idea for you to even contact some of your competition and see if you guys can do deals together every now and then. Not in terms of partnering on deals, but perhaps you’ve got a deal that you can’t do at this time because it’s a rehab deal and he just finished a rehab deal so he’s looking for another deal. Or maybe he has a short sale deal and doesn’t know how to do short sales, but you know how to do short sales so you ask him for that deal. And if you are able to make money from the deal that was referred to you, then give them a little something to say thanks.
But don’t worry about competition. Go ahead and make your money the way that you know how to do it.
This leads directly to another huge mistake that most real estate investors make and that is they don’t focus enough on the marketing for their business. There is nothing more important than the marketing that you do to generate your business, period.
If you do not have leads coming in and people calling you with houses for sale or people calling you with houses they want to buy, then you are setting yourself up for failure. In fact, believe it or not, I would rather you spend the time, the money and the energy to learn and get better at marketing for your business, rather than learning how to do your business better.
Because the more leads you have coming in, the more options you have and the more deals you’ll be able to do. Because think about this, you could be the best real estate negotiator on the planet, but if you don’t have lots of deals coming in and the other guy next to you is not a very good negotiator but he has a bunch of deals coming in, I can guarantee you that he’s going to surpass you like that.
So, always focus the majority of your time and energy on the marketing for your business and the rest will fall into place.
Now’s the time to take the bull by the horns, so to speak and get your business moving forward! Don’t let another day pass without some serious action on your part to achieve all the personal and business goals you can only currently claim as thoughts. Go here:
