Getting to 600+ investing transactions and a
100-unit unicorn deal is an incredible feat for any investor, but
that level of success doesn’t come without hard lessons and
failures.
Failure is a non-negotiable part of building a
business, and people who are willing to endure and keep moving
forward will crush it. If we stop defining failure as a loss, and
start seeing it as a necessity, we’re on the path to greatness.
On the road to becoming a successful investor with 600+ deals under
his belt, what was David Dodge’s biggest failure? How do we build a
real estate investing business that swings open the door to bigger
opportunities?
In this episode, investor, coach, author and host of Discount
Property Investor, David Dodge shares his journey as an investor
and what he learned from the challenges he faced.
Things You’ll Learn In This
Episode
Why we need to get comfortable with failure
Failure is inevitable, and something we should embrace if we want
to find greatness. We have to be willing to take steps backwards
and fail forward. It’s impossible to build anything worth having
without the willingness to endure challenges.
What it takes to succeed as an investor
Marketing and networking are the key to success in investing, in
any model. When we master direct-to-seller marketing, we unlock the
door to every real estate model and strategy.
How to invest without losing money
The one
thing that gets investors in trouble every single time is
overpaying on a property. We make our money when we buy, and get
paid when we sell. If we buy the property right, by going in low,
we won’t lose money.
