As an entrepreneur, you need to realize that just because demand for one thing may be down, doesn’t mean that there is no demand at all. You may just need to shift your focus, and be more open to stategies in your favor. For instance if you look at making money in real estate investments right now; quick flips likely won’t be your best be unless the margin of profit is clearly there, and you might assume that rental properties would be a loosing strategy right now, but in fact rental properties are on the rise. With options to refinance at extremely low rates right now and so many people walking away from their homes due to foreclosures there is a surpluss of individuals forced to rent because they can’t buy another until their credit is repaired. And since there are a large number of foreclosed homes on the market it’s easier than it has ever been to buy homes for a lot less than they currently value at. Regardless of what is going on in the economy there will always be ways to make a profit investing in real estate.
Looking back at all of the Commercial Real Estate invesors that I have worked with, there are far too many that act and advertise like a larger institution in too much of a hurry. You need to eliminate that mindset from your business eithics right now. Be conscious of how much time and money you have and face the reality that there will be a time to put those efforts into action to buy large quantities of market share and that most institutional advertising is a waste. Here is a good example to give you a reason why; if I try to use radio ads to advertise my services in my local marketplace, my time and money will be spent advertising over the radio to a very small audience of people that may or may not need my services, but the majority will not even be my targeted customers or clients. You can argue that over time that this waste may be justified and in some instances I might agree with the argument, but it would be because you had a ton of money to throw at it, spending that money wouldn’t hinder your business efforts by drastically restricting your budget and your intention was to also focus on your brand name marketing as then it would be for more than one purpose.
But doing so is going to leave you broke faster than you think. You just have to remember that your marketing efforts need to out perform your competition by just a little bit, like winning by a nose in a horse race you will not only save a ton of money and time you will also be commanding more market share at the same time. Take an analysis on your marketplace and see what the top earning companies doing right to bring customers to them and put tenants in their properties. By taking an analysis on what works you will also be able to determine what doesn’t work. A lot of real estate investors at one time or another are guilty of marketing incest, or, advertising and marketing our services just like the other guy. You cannot do that in fear of becoming another commodity. We need to look around and do the exact opposite of what they are doing. Some things that are suggested you do, have been talked about before and we will elaborate on them in future articles.
Have an open mind and rest a little bit easier knowing the things you will be implementing will help your business tremendously. Don’t be lazy, simply focus your efforts better and maintain your position just ahead of your competition and you will win.
When you are looking to market you properties there is actually a big secret that you really need to know. All the successful investors know and understand this secret, but realizing how simple it is will set your marketing on a great pace right off the bat. Here is the secret right here for you: Be just a nose better than your competition and you will ensure your success. That’s it! It’s not really a big secret at all, it’s more common knowledge, but it get’s overlooked more than you think and you need to put more focus on it so that you.
Yes, there will be boring work involved such as assessing the competition, their strengths, their weaknesses. By no means am I saying you should do exactly what your competition does, that would be a mistake. Suffice it to say, it is not that hard to assess and be better than the other guy – it is easier than you think..
