Property investing is hard! It if was easy, everyone would do it.
/Picture this: you’re standing beneath a rope suspended high above the ground, the sun beating down, and a gentle breeze providing little comfort. The rope stretches endlessly above, while the ground below feels miles away. You take a leap, gripping it with every ounce of strength you have.
At first, it seems easy. But soon, discomfort sets in. Your arms start to ache, your grip weakens, and doubt begins to creep in. How much longer can you hold on?
One by one, others let go, hitting the ground with a sigh of relief. But not you. You adjust your grip, take a deep breath, and hold on. The pain intensifies, but so does your determination. Then it dawns on you—success isn’t about extraordinary strength or skill. It’s about unwavering resolve. It’s about staying the course when everyone else has let go.
Property Investing is much the same. We all encounter moments where we want to give up—when responsibilities stack up, deadlines loom, and challenges seem insurmountable. But here’s the reality: success is not born from miracles; it's rooted in persistence. It’s about pushing through discomfort, making small adjustments, and trusting that progress is being made, even when it’s not immediately visible.
This week, I challenge you to hold on.
When the urge to throw in the towel arises, pause. Take a deep breath. Remember why you started. In property investing, deals may fall through, renovations can exceed budgets, and valuations might not align with expectations. But these hurdles are just part of the journey. A successful property investor is one who trusts in time and the process.
I still own the first property I ever purchased. I vividly recall scraping together every penny, borrowing and maxing out credit cards. I even remember stopping at a petrol station to put £5 in my tank, just enough to get me home after a long day of viewings. I bought that property for £117,000. Fast forward 15 years, and it has revalued at £375,000.
So, trust the process and keep holding on.
