Going Against the Real Estate Grain

Real Estate investment has probably made more people wealthy than the stock market.  Well, I don’t know if this is exactly true; but if it’s not, I’d like to think more millionaires were made without going crazy in real estate than in the stock market.  But there is something the real estate investor has in common with the stock investor – the ability to take risks. 

Oh yeah, if you want to make it big in the real estate industry, there’s no way around it, you’re going to have to take risks.  I’m not talking about the real estate investor who is fine with owning a couple of houses and renting them out.  Yes, this may give you a thousand or two extra per month in cash flow.  And you may be able to take better family vacations, but I doubt you’ll be wealthy (or even able to quit your day job).

The real way to real estate riches (or riches in any field) is by being able to take calculated risks.  Instead of a couple of houses, how about a small apartment building, or maybe taking those apartments and turning them into condominiums?  With real estate you have to remember, at least in my opinion that it is only with creative thinking that you’ll be able to spot deals others could not see.  So, go against the grain with your real estate decisions and don’t be afraid to do what others wouldn’t dare do.
