“Your beliefs shape your business—and your bank account.”

[Andy Horobec]

Lately, I’ve been reading A Changed Mind, and it hit me: most investors don’t need a new strategy—they need a new mindset.

This book dives deep into how mental shifts lead to tangible results. I started applying some of these principles to my real estate game, and deals really started looking a whole lot different.

So here’s my question to fellow investors:

What’s one belief about real estate you’ve had to completely unlearn to level up?

Drop it in the comments—I’m curious to hear how your mindset has evolved.

Hi,

I believe mindset is so valuable in all walks of life!  I need to check out that book.  

One belief I have had to unlearn is that you need a LOT of money to get started or you will be stuck with nightmare tenants.

While it is very useful to have some cash to get started, there is always the right property for you, the right lender to help you, and good analysis of a property on your side.

I was a property manager throughout my undergrad days and the company I worked for, indeed, had a lot of nightmarish tenants.  Once I was my own landlord and worked for myself, I saw how the process was easy to vet tenants and it does not have to be the way it was.
