@Chris Rivers A lot of real estate investors share your sentiment; however, one can always find deals floating around (good or bad). So, as real estate investors, our challenge is to figure out ways in which we can find good (or great) deals in our market of our choice, but more importantly, we have to be willing and able to flex into other markets, when necessary.
In addition, our mindset is absolutely crucial as whatever we tell our brain becomes bigger in our mind. Having an abundance outlook is the starting point.
Did you know that 11-14% of Americans relocate every year? From a deal perspective, someone has to sell their house and then buy a new house. 2 deals right there!
Expectedly, I can tell all the things you "need" to do at a tactical level (DM or drive for dollars [boring]). I believe that all these approaches are secondary to mindset.
Hope this helps, Chris. Goodluck and keep pushing 💪.
The idea is not to stop, but keep pivoting. Thanks! - Ola
