Enjoying The Mindset Of A Successful Real Estate Investor

March 29, 2023 By Realty411 Team

Quote to live by: “The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose ones attitude in any given circumstance.” ~Viktor Frankl

You Own Your Thoughts, Now Control Them

What if it was possible to be happy even when things aren’t going your way? What if there was a simple way to be happy, despite your environment, while staring adversity straight in the eyes? Would you like to know how to ignore the “nay sayers” and the media full of gloom and doom telling you every reason why you cannot be successful investing or flipping properties in today’s market?

Would you like to get rid of the noise in your head telling you every reason why you shouldn’t make an offer on a property or you cannot really make money at buying and selling houses or some other crazy negative thing. That’s right – no more hurtful critical thoughts! Can you imagine?

I know it sounds like a great idea, but doesn’t seem to be very realistic at first glance. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be realistic, it just has to work, and it will, if you stick with a few basic principles. The key here is in the simplicity, and in keeping yourself accountable for sticking with the following principles.

My Experience

This is a system I’ve been using for quite some time, and can testify to its merit. I decided that I was tired of being unhappy, and letting my own made up fears or even the real environment and the people around me control how I felt.

Be Selective In What You Think About

The wonderful thing about thoughts is that you genuinely own yours. No one else has power over what you think about. With this power, you are faced with a big choice that can impact your entire existence.

Positive Thoughts. You can choose to think about goals, ambitions, people you love, beautiful scenery, and things you enjoy. This affects your physiology by making you stress free and healthier.
Negative Thoughts. You can choose to think about death, disappointment, destruction and misery. It’s so stressful to think about how unfair life is, which causes your immune system to take a dip.

Ask Yourself the Important Question

Yes, a single question is powerful enough to change your thoughts. Just ask yourself: How do I want this to affect me?

When you ask yourself about what you want, you are able to take control. If being happy in the face of adversity is what you want, than you choose to let yourself be affected positively. You take negative situations, and treat them as a learning experience.

Instead of taking minor discomforts and turning them into major frustrations, let them affect you in a positive way. For example, you can turn a 48-hour commute into a learning experience.

Switch Channels

Treat your life as a television set, and when your thoughts project channels of unhappiness, hit the next button on your mental remote. Switch to something pleasant and stick to the happy networks.

Remember, you control whether your thoughts are positive or negative and with this choice you own your happiness – which, in affect, will make you healthy, wealthy and wise.

Steps to Success

Put a rubber band on your wrist (not too tight – don’t want to cut off your circulation)
Every time you notice yourself thinking something negative, pull that rubber band and snap it… just enough to make you jump. This is called cognitive conditioning. By inflicting some discomfort when you perform a behavior you want to change or stop, this will help you to subconsciously avoid doing that thing over time.
In addition to inflicting discomfort, change your mind’s channel by asking yourself the question: How do I want this circumstance I was just thinking about to affect me? Of course you “want it” to affect you positively somehow. This question, though you may not have the answer in the moment, will get your brain working on the solutions rather than focusing on the problem.

“Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose? When you affirm the positive, visualize the positive and expect the positive, and your life will change accordingly.” Remez Sasson

5 Reasons To Write & Publish Your Book — Build Credibility and Passive Income

March 27, 2023 By Realty411 Team

By Stephanie Mojica

Do you have real estate knowledge that you wish to share with other investors? Or, would you like to build a passive stream of income with sales of books you’ve authored?

Let’s talk today about five reasons why you should write and publish your book instead of thinking, “Oh, maybe later.”

1. You can get your message out to a lot more people than you ever could through one- on-one work, networking groups, speaking, etc. It’s just really been beneficial to my clients, to have hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of people exposed to you, your message, and your story. A book is just an incredible way, and a very affordable way, to get that message out. Because more people are willing to invest $9.99 or $14.99 in a book than $100 or thousands of dollars in your course, your service, etc.

2. When you write and publish your book instead of just thinking about it, you get to enjoy the reputation and credibility builder of being a published author. Clients have told me that they decided to work with me because they don’t want to keep seeing “Author of…” in everybody else’s bio, especially when they were speaking on live or virtual stages. And writing a book really shows that you’re in the game for the long haul, that you’re not just a one-trick pony. With the pandemic, a lot of people started calling themselves coaches, consultants, and other experts. And we don’t know if some of those people will go back to their day jobs or jump on the next trend. So, writing a book just shows that you’re in the game for the long haul. Your business isn’t something you just decided to do, especially because of the pandemic.

3. You’ll have that sense of accomplishment that I and others have experienced after writing and publishing a book; that feeling is indescribable. Most of the population has not even attempted to write a book. And of the people who try to write a book, less than 5% finish it and publish it.

4. People seek you out a lot more when you have that published book out there. The opportunities include media interviews, speaking gigs, and podcast interviews. Having a new book is a great way to increase urgency among people booking such opportunities because everyone wants to be on top of the news.

5. Waking up to passive income is another benefit of finally writing and publishing your book. While many of my clients make money from new clients that come in through their book and the increased publicity surrounding them, some people that I’ve worked with have made five and even six figures from book sales. It’s great to make money when you sleep, especially with rents, mortgages, and everything throughout the world on the rise.

So, write your book. Don’t just sit around thinking about it and end up on your deathbed wishing that you did it. Just do it. I promise you — especially if you get the right support. It will not be as painful or as difficult as it sounds.

New Book: How to Profit from International Real Estate Investing

March 23, 2023 By Realty411 Team

‘…While some housing markets are crashing, others will likely be booming’

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – After more than 25 years of investing in global real estate markets in seven countries on three continents, including Panama, Portugal, Mexico and Brazil, Ronan McMahon, founder of Real Estate Trend Alert, is sharing the best secrets for success that he’s learned by taking part in well over $2 billion in real estate transactions. Written for ordinary people looking to make extraordinary moves, the new book is titled Ronan McMahon’s Big Book of Profitable Real Estate Investing and is published by International Living Publishing Ltd., a division of International Living, the leading source for the world’s best places to live, travel and retire since 1979.

Based on decades of real world experience and know-how, this book is a practical guide to help aspiring real estate investors – and anyone looking to strategically purchase a home overseas – to understand the why, where, and how of international real estate.

“With soaring inflation and sky-high prices right now, the secrets of successful real estate investing can help regular people around the world secure their financial freedom,” said McMahon from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “This book holds every useful method, and sometimes little known insights, to make serious money from real estate. In more than 25 years of investing, probably the biggest thing I’ve learned is that it’s surprisingly simple to become a successful real estate investor.”

The Irish property bubble that lasted from 2000-2007 was the original catalyst that compelled McMahon to look overseas for better opportunities. Along the way, he had some interesting adventures. In Brazil, he almost died in a dune buggy crash, and in Panama he flew over the Panama Canal in a billionaire’s helicopter, all in search of the world’s best real estate investments. It was by traveling the globe he discovered that, while some housing markets are crashing, others will likely be booming.

“When you look everywhere there is always a big opportunity somewhere,” said McMahon, who also posts regular insights and opportunities at Real Estate Trend Alert. “That goes not just for real estate investing, but for living as well. That’s why I split my time between Portugal, my home base, winter in sunny locales like Los Cabos and the Caribbean, and summer in Europe, with trips to my home country, Ireland. I never have to face any cold weather, which is just my preference. Lots of people no doubt prefer chilly weather, but we should all have a choice.”

Packed with the most up-to-date information, the book operates as a how-to guide for anybody thinking about buying real estate overseas and how they can afford it. Some of the topics McMahon opines on include:

The top real estate investment trends to consider.
Where buyers can make double-digit rental yields this year (or any year).
The what and how of crisis investing.
Real estate investing pitfalls to avoid.
Navigating overseas markets without getting burned.
How to fund your overseas investment.

The book is now available on Amazon and from Real Estate Trend Alert.

Hey Offer: Pennsylvania Home-Selling Company Helps Homeowners Navigate the Competitive Real Estate Market

March 22, 2023 By Realty411 Team

Hey Offer is a Pennsylvania-based home-buying company in Allentown, Pennsylvania, devoted to making selling or buying a new home easier.

The company has extensive experience with the Allentown real estate market and shares its knowledge with the local community to help residents who are having to sell their family home due to unfortunate circumstances, such as divorce, unaffordable repairs, the death of a loved one, and to avoid foreclosure.

A spokesperson from Hey Offer said, “We are Josh, Dalia, Alex, and Jack local investors that operate out of Allentown, PA. We love to buy properties that people cannot keep, want, or need to own anymore. Selling your home can already be overwhelming so we keep it simple for you.”

All you have to do to start the process of selling your home is to fill out a form on the HeyOffer website; then, you will get a no-obligation cash offer after the company verifies the condition of the home being sold.

Sell Your Home The Simple Way

Hey Offer prides itself on full transparency and providing its clients with all the necessary information on the most efficient way to sell their homes.

If you want to ‘sell my house fast PA,’ then Hey Offer has introduced a step-by-step guide for submitting a house for a swift sale:

Get an Offer Today

Fill out the short form on the company’s website, and its local team will review your information and provide a no-obligation cash offer.

The team will ask you questions that are vital for them to make a fair cash offer based on your home. They will need to know details like bedrooms, bathrooms, how long you have owned it, and the condition of the property on a scale of 1-10, along with other details.

The more information you provide, the more accurate and higher the offer will be. As you are on the phone, the team will also check the prices that similar properties have sold in your area, as well as an ARV (After Repair Value) which is the value that your home is worth after it has been completely remodeled.

Verify

HeyOffer will schedule a quick visit to your property (at your convenience) to verify the condition and take pictures for potential buyers.

This visit will take place within 72 hours of the agreement (of the cash offer) being signed, and if your property doesn’t quite reach the expectations that the team originally thought from the phone call, don’t worry. Hey Offer buys nearly every property they go out to see after they have signed an agreement to buy it.

The only thing that may affect the process is if your property is determined to be in worse condition than originally communicated. If this happens, then the cash offer will be adjusted.

Hey Offer is committed to being fully transparent with all its clients and transactions and will ensure that you remain fully informed during the entire process. Additionally, if you do not accept the team’s offer, you are free to move on and sell your home to someone else.

Close and Cash Out

The final part of the process is coordinating with you and the title company to ensure it all goes seamlessly as it heads towards the closing date you selected.

Throughout the closing process, Hey Offer might require access to your property to get bids from its trusted contractors so that they may start on any renovations as soon as the closing happens and you have your cash.

Bank Failures Cause Mortgage Rates to Drop

March 17, 2023 By Realty411 Team

By Stephanie Mojica

In the wake of recent bank failures, mortgage rates have dropped, according to REALTOR.com. During the week of March 13, 2023, mortgage rates have been between 6.57% and 6.75%.

The rates are anticipated to continue to fall, giving renewed hope to many traditional homebuyers and real estate investors.

Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and Silvergate Bank have all failed, which has caused some would-be homebuyers to become nervous about getting a mortgage. There are concerns that other banks could collapse as well as anxiety about the general economic uncertainty in the world, Ali Wolf, chief economist of the building consultancy Zonda, told REALTOR.com.

However, Wolf noted that all the drama will probably lower mortgage rates even further. If rates go down by even .50 percent, the average housing payment would be lowered by $100 each month.

The good news in the bank collapse situation is that the U.S. federal government is covering people’s losses from Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which will surely assuage some people’s fears. Because Silvergate Bank handled cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, the feds are not able to recoup customers’ losses.

REALTOR.com recommends that people in the market for a mortgage to check rates at least once a day and stay in close contact with lenders.
