Let me ask you a chicken or the egg question...
"What would you do first?
a) find a great real estate deal
or
b) find private money to fund the deal
Do you "Find a deal and then go find the money because it gives you the incentive to make it happen?"
I answered just the opposite because having private money will give you the confidence when you make offers that you are going to be able to close.
I feel confidence is more important.
I don't know if there is one right answer but if you are not doing either one, read on...
If you simply are not ready to go to the next level is it FEAR holding you back?
If so, I've found that education is the key in taming that fear monster and give you the confidence to move ahead.
I remember my 1st deal. My knees were knocking. Fortunately for me I had an experience RE investor walk me through my 1st deal. I also had gotten six months of solid RE education through two home study courses I had purchased, library books on creative real estate and a local REIA seminar.
After that 1st deal the fear monster was gone and I was ready to do it again.
Like I said before, I've done my homework, spent tons of money on education and have had lots of practical experience in the business.
If there are gaps in your RE education, take care of that now while you're busy finding lenders to help take your business to the next level.
You'll be very glad you did.
Let's face it, the reason most investors don't have any private lenders is fear.
It's as basic as that. It's a fear of the unknown. How do I know that? I've been there too.
I was comfortable doing things the way I had always done them. I went to the bank, I jumped through their hoops of proving I was qualified for their loan, they gave me the money, and I paid them back the way they said. It was a familiar routine in my business of buying and selling homes.
However,cheap beats by dre tour uk, when I became a full-time investor and wanted tons of quickly accessible cash, the bank's painstakingly slow process was no longer acceptable.
Even when I knew for certain what I wanted, I procrastinated. I was not able to do nearly as many deals as I wanted because I waited so long to take action. The thing is, if there is something you are afraid to do, you can always find a reason to not do it.
Sometimes we won't even admit to ourselves that we are afraid. We just can't get to it because we are too busy, too tired, or focused on other "more important" issues.
But then, that didn't solve the whole problem. I was still too shy to approach people who I knew would benefit from my program.
I remember sitting in my doctor's office and being too uncertain of myself to tell him about my program. I didn't have the nerve to ask for the money. That day, we both lost. I wanted money to run my business and he missed out on earning a tremendous interest rate.
Once I recognized what was holding me back, I became educated in learning how to get what I wanted and how to handle private funds once I got them. That gave me the foundation of knowledge.
I am so grateful today that I got a solid real estate education so I can now confidently let potential private lenders know that I have a great opportunity for both of us!

Overall Impression of the KSO Treks
After owning the KSO Treks for almost a year,cartier love bangle, they have become an integral part of my trail running footwear. I don’t wear them for every run but they are a fantastic tool for strengthening the foot,cartier love necklaces, lower leg muscles,latest cartier love, and improving agility and proper running form. They do take some time to get used to putting on and getting the correct toe into the appropriate toe pocket. The kangaroo leather is great,Cartier 18-carat yellow gold Wheel Necklace, especially for cooler temperature running,cartier love charity, even after they get wet. They fit snugly with their full-footed upper and Velcro strap adjustment. I really appreciate that the shoe is the shape of the foot as opposed to narrow toe-boxed conventional trail running shoes. Another important attribute for trail running is their lack of interfering cushioning to ground feel, this is especially important for trail running because terrain can vary widely in both traction and surface contour between every step.
What KSO Treks are Great For
The first time I ran in the Treks it was on snow, and even though my feet got wet from some slushy snow right away,cartier love jewelry sale, my feet stayed warm throughout the run. They have good grip and I really enjoy running with them on hard-packed snow trails. I also run in a pair of original KSOs and the Treks have far better grip and are more enjoyable to run in on trails. They have great traction on dry or wet grass,cartier bracelets for men, snow,buy cartier rings, ice,cartier love earrings, as well as any dry surface whether it be man-made or natural. They also perform well on trails both uphill and downhill. I do enjoy running and racing in them,cartier watch prices, on the proper terrain, because they are so lightweight.
What KSO Treks are Not Great For
Although the Trek has good traction on dry trails,cartier baignoire watches, they do not have the best traction on wet terrain, especially slippery and/or deep mud. The lug design doesn’t provide enough traction for wet dirt deeper than a few millimetres. For this type of wet terrain, I would still trust the grip of a conventional trail running shoe over that of the Trek. I’ve also found that they are not that comfortable to run in on pavement because of the lugs,cartier trinity pen, although this was not the purpose of their design,cartier love earrings, so not too surprising. I do tend to slow down on solid rocky terrain as well because their relatively thin sole does not protect the foot if you are not being careful as to where you are placing your foot,cartier watch for sale, compared to a conventionally thick-soled trail running shoe.
