There Are Two Kinds of Failure - Episode 534

MorrisInvest.com — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 10:00:00 +0000

In Robert Greene’s book Mastery, he writes, “There are two kinds of failure. The first comes from never trying out your ideas because you are afraid, or because you are waiting for the perfect time. This kind of failure you can never learn from, and such timidity will destroy you. The second kind comes from a bold and venturesome spirit. If you fail in this way, the hit that you take to your reputation is greatly outweighed by what you learn. Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done.”

On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, I want to talk about these two types of failure, how to boldly chase your dreams, and what you can gain from failing. We’ll discuss Henry Ford, how failure can help you grow, and more!

MorrisInvest.com — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 10:00:00 +0000

Physical rental properties are not the only performing asset that can help you build wealth.

We’ll contemplate making business decisions on a spiritual level, the importance of overcoming fear, and how to be a positive influence to others.

EP251: Don't Buy A Class Properties, Do This Instead - Interview with Lane Kawaoka

MorrisInvest.com — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 03:05:40 +0000

To the untrained real estate investor, an A class property can be appealing.

However, most successful real estate investors know that these properties don’t make for great investments.

Today’s guest, Lane Kawaoka, learned this lesson early on in his investing career, and he’s here to share his experience. We’re discussing the drawbacks of investing in an A class neighborhood, and how to find a solid rental market. Lane is sharing his strategy for portfolio growth, and how he reached financial freedom.

I've worked with a lot of real estate investors, and I've noticed that many of them make one dire mistake.

Inexperienced investors often try to over upgrade their property based on what is appropriate for the neighborhood.

MorrisInvest.com — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Wholesaling is a means that many investors, myself included, have used to jump into the world of real estate investing. As a wholesale investor, you don’t actually own properties. Rather, you find contracts and sell them, and then collect a finder’s fee. Wholesaling is a great way for someone with limited capital to kickstart their investing journey and get funds in the bank quickly.

On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, I’m interviewing Brent Daniels of Wholesaling Inc. Brent is a master wholesaler and expert cold caller who works with my mentor in wholesaling, Tom Krol.
