In the 80s, in regard to dieting, popular magazines would suggest that you “think thin.” They were reluctant to explain how this was done, but everyone knew that that was what they should do. Internalize the psychology of the thin person, whatever that was. A logical extension of this idea would be that if you want to become rich, you would be able to accomplish that goal by adopting the psychology of the wealthy, right? Actually, this is true. Specifically, you should adopt the mindset of the accomplished property investor.

Accomplished property investors see the world through an opportunistic lens. They always have their antennae up and ready. They position themselves in the way of information. They “walk the walk” of the property investor, in a manner of speaking. And because of this behavior, they notice things.

Ken McElroy, author of The ABCs of Real Estate Investing, which is part of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, states that it's all about noticing patterns. If you check out enough properties, explore enough areas, speak with enough people, McElroy claims, you will start to notice these patterns. Then things will begin to change. You may begin to feel luckier. And, McElroy says, this may be luck, but it is a kind of luck that comes with hard work and preparation.

Don't forget: “Fortune favors the prepared mind." Opportunities for profit are all around us, but if we are blind to it, it will seem as though it doesn't exist. The alert mind recognizes opportunity.

Ken McElroy emphasizes over and over again the fact that becoming successful in real estate is a process. It isn't just an event that occurs instantaneously. It is something that you work towards every day. Eventually things will start happening for you.

Someone who is successful focuses on doing a little at a time, on learning this or that thing, or making a certain deal. It is a “walk before you can crawl” proposition.

For instance, McElroy says that if you have found a good deal, you can obtain the necessary funds because others will inevitably want a piece of the action. It isn't necessarily about skillful negotiation, McElroy said. Clearly, those skills can get you an even more advantageous deal at times, but you don't need to fret over whether you're good when negotiating. Focus on looking for good deals.

Although investors are constantly considering risk, constantly aware of it, successful investors are not frightened off by it. They decide whether a risk seems reasonable. If the numbers add up, says McElroy, it is a good deal. If it is a good deal, the savvy real estate investor goes ahead with it.

Simple.

People who don't understand how to accurately evaluate risk may think that every deal is too risky. They assume, for instance, that a larger deal involves to great a risk for a novice to handle. They assume that because they think the investor is investing a lot of his own funds into the deal when, in truth, a larger deal stands to generate greater profit for the participants. For this reason, you may be able to get backers for this sort of deal. In the end, not need to put up as much of your own money as you would've on a smaller transaction.

Real estate investment is just like anything else you want to learn how to do. For one thing, you have to learn how to do it. And you learn by doing. Go out and look at properties. Take trips to cities as if you were intending to make a purchase. Go online and educate yourself about areas. Check out what others have said regarding the real estate in an area. Get to know people. In no time at all, you will have learned enough to start considering making a deal. You don't need to have a wad of cash at your disposal before you start playing the game. All you need to do is go out in the world and enjoy yourself. Everything else will come in time.
