The Power of One - Real Estate Investing Success Requires Getting Started - Join an Investment Club

Expert Author Blake Dale Ratcliff

A real estate investment club is a great way to get started making your investment fortune. Clubs offer access to a network of people who can help you build teams needed to purchase projects, develop capital you need to close deals, or access the skills you need to select, rehab, or reposition properties. Clubs offer access to services, managers, planning systems, tools, training and much more. A would be investor can use the club meetings as motivators to stay on track and make their wealth building dreams into a reality.

In the Washington, DC / Baltimore area, Tammy Phelps and Andre Johnson operate the Real Deal Investment Club. Online access to the club is available through our website. Tammy and Andre have put together extensive training tools for investors to use from the very start. Additionally, each month, they host an investment club meeting that provides extensive training, service provider access, member discounts, supplier access and more. With several hundred members, this club provides the kind of infrastructure that investors need to become investor success stories.

At RDIC and associated District REIA meetings, Tammy and Andre of talk about the Power of One. This is a powerful concept that really is the key to getting started and making your investment plans into a reality. Whether this will be your first investment or you've lost everything in the crisis and are starting over or just aren't achieving what you have in mind, the Power of One is the key to making your goals into plans and plans into reality.

You see investments require assembling resources, developing plans, identifying opportunities, preparing services, developing suppliers and bringing all of these together into a successfully closed and operating business. The point of the Power of One is that this begins by clearly understanding what you would like to achieve, developing a plan to achieve that goal, and putting the plan in action. As Tammy says, the difference between hot water and boiling water is one degree. The difference between cold water and ice is one degree. The difference between success and failure is pushing forward until you reach the tipping point and moving from one state to the other. The power of one is committing to your goal and slowly finding solutions and increasing the heat until you create a successful investment. While this may sound like a big pep talk, the fact is this is the true difference between those who talk about their ideas and those who go about making them reality.
