By Mraud A. Adamson


Real estate investment has for centuries remained one of the most lucrative sectors. It allows you to set a solid base that provides constant income and a solid base to grow your wealth. While some people have made wealth in real estate investing, others have failed terribly. What makes the difference between successful investors and those who fail?

How informed are you about property investment? Success in any venture relies on your knowledge of the sector. You have to learn about finances, land buying, construction regulations, the legal framework and such other details. Ignorance or lack of knowledge will expose you to very costly investment mistakes. You are likely to end up losing money or with dead stock that slows down your investment plans.

Have a business plan for your investment. Every investor, regardless of the sector must draw a concrete plan. The plan should include your current position, intended destination and activities that will get you there. Consider the challenges you are likely to encounter. The plan should be very realistic and capture actionable goals. Provide leeway for changes occasioned by unforeseen occurrence.

Make the important baby steps in your investment journey. Even the most successful persons you see today started with these baby steps. Set up an investment account, begin saving, buy your first plot of land, polish your credit rating, and such other steps. Do not expect overnight success. Success is as a result of accumulated minor steps that are guided by your plan.

Professionals must be involved all the way. There are alluring crooks and schemes that promise quick success. This cutting of corners eventually proves expensive and may lead to huge losses through being conned or missing your goals all together. Make sure that you sign contracts and get receipts for all transactions. Documentation and licenses will save you a great deal.

Timing is important for real estate investors. Within a short time, a property can double in value, making it inaccessible to you. Be proactive and alert to enable you take advantage of market forces and thus make profit. Changes in the legal framework could also throw you off balance. The most profitable investment is one that is made on time. You will meet prevailing needs before other interests or investors dirty the water.

A plan is not a guarantee for success. Expect challenges that throw you off plan. Keep pushing and exercise flexibility to cope with emerging trends. Bend with the wind of the industry and endeavor to provide the best as well as most unique products for the market.
