FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Real estate is an imperishable asset, ever increasing in value. It is the most solid security that human ingenuity has devised. It is the basis of all security and about the only indestructible security.” –Russel Sage, American Financier and Politician

There is no doubt that there is a huge buzz around real estate. Whether you are buying, selling, building, or investing, real estate is the hot topic of 2016.

Let’s talk about the fear of real estate investment in real terms.

When a customer walks into a car dealership, it is a given that the car they buy will lose value the instant it drives off the lot, yet dealerships are still in business and customers are still crawling through the door ready to be handed the keys to their brand new set of wheels. Unless they are a darn good salesman, and can do some hard core custom work on that vehicle, they know that they will not be flipping their sale to make money in 5 years.

Real estate is a whole new story.   We all know the ups and downs of the market and the roller-coaster of emotions that come with  deciding whether or not you should be investing your money in real estate. But have you ever wondered why you are second guessing yourself so much over real estate when you have a new car in your drive way that you know is decreasing value by the day? (If you are someone who has a new vehicle)

Real estate is a much bigger investment, automatically putting more fear in the investors eye, however, investors have the chance to make more bang for their buck than they do with the simple purchases they make every day.

How do you put the fear of real estate investment behind you, take the leap, and come out on top?

After researching investor blogs, success stories, and most commonly read books leading to a successful investment, I came up with some helpful tips to share with you to ensure you are ready to become an investor, and more importantly, become successful at it.

10 tips to help you become a successful real estate investor

---

Overcome your fears

Let’s be real. Real estate is a tough and competitive industry. One of the first things people think is “what if I don’t make it.”  The fear of losing time and money consumes their thoughts.

Stop and think, “but what if I do make it?”

When you master your fears and put yourself out there, then you will succeed as a real estate investor. Something that a lot of people don’t realize about real estate is that the most important step in achieving success is through a positive mindset.

Build a network around relationships

Although it is not impossible, learning the real estate investing business is challenging when attempting it on your own.  Effective real estate investors often attribute part of their success to others – whether it be a lawyer, a business partner, or a supportive friend.  Successful investors embrace other people’s expertise.

Focus on strengths

Before moving forward, ask yourself this question:

What kind of real estate investing is suitable for me?

If you can answer this question, then you have mastered identifying your strength.

If you can’t answer it, try listing your core competencies, figure out your personality, what you are good at, and your personal finances.

To give is to gain

Think about it like this:

You are a successful writer who has a story due to your editor by the end of the day. You are too busy to get it done, so you simply walk into your editor’s office and hand him/her a stack of blank papers.  Does he/she smile and accept the blank papers as a highlighted article?  Probably not.

Instead, you crunch time, gather resources, put in a few extra hours, and present your editor with a complete article, including pictures and extra features. Your editor is elated with the effort and highlights your article on the front cover.

Same case applies to real estate. If you want to succeed, you need to give the extra effort before you gain the benefits.

Never stop learning

This one is simple.

Successful people are always learning new skills and keeping up with new trends in their industries. They understand that there is always room for self improvement and are always trying to dig up the latest bit of information that might further them in their career goals.

 Invest with a planned exit strategy

 Successful investors know that there are always two sides to an investment. Knowing this doesn’t push them to the fear of not investing, but rather to prepare in advance for possible changes.  Average investors try to predict the future of their investments. Successful investors do the opposite; they prepare for the best while still preparing how they will deal with the worst.

 Be patient

Successful investors are very patient. We all know that great things can’t be created in a day, same goes with investments.

Make trends your advantage

Another attribute of successful investors is that they know how to use trends to their advantage. Average investors panic over market fluctuations, but successful investors welcome these fluctuations because it’s based on these fluctuations that they make their money.

Ride the trend waves and take each day as it comes.

Stay disciplined

Successful investors are strict with themselves when it comes to investing. Know that it takes a great deal of discipline to stick to your investing strategies, don’t give up.

Be passionate about the game of investing

Why are you an investor? Your answer to this question will determine if you will be successful in the world of investing or not.

It is the same scenario when working at a job.  Statistics show that people who are happy in their career have a higher success rate than those who just show up at work for the paycheck.

You can’t succeed in something you are not passionate about.

In conclusion, these are 10 characteristics possessed by every successful investor. If it’s your desire to become a real estate investor, spend more time researching how to become successful at it rather than researching the down sides of your investment.

“When we look at an empty lot, we don’t see useless land, we see opportunity.”

When reading the definition of a real estate developer, what do you think of?

If you said “uptight land snatchers who are out to destroy our neighborhoods and take over our city,” you are not alone. This is how many people look at developers today, because as you know, we do buy land, and we are working towards contributing to our cities growth.

So what makes Enclave any different than all of the other “greedy land snatchers?”

Meet Our Dauntless Leaders, Ben and Austin

Ben Meland, President of Enclave Development, grew up in the construction industry. His father owned a lumber business, and he worked for one of the regions largest construction companies. He moved into the multi-million-dollar lake building industry, and soon found a niche in luxury living. What Ben didn’t have was the background in real estate.

That is when Ben was Introduced to his trusty side-kick, and Enclave’s Managing Director, Austin Morris.

Born and raised a Fargo native, Austin had an abundance of knowledge in real estate.

He grew up watching his best friend’s father operate large properties in Fargo, and naturally grew fascinated by real estate development, and the ever-changing landscape of Fargo. His dream was to become a real estate developer and work his way into property investment.

After meeting and realizing how well their backgrounds meshed, they set to work at making their dreams happen, and from there, Enclave was born.

We Prefer a Tuxedo T-Shirt over a Suit and Tie

Here at Enclave, we are just like you. We don’t find it fun to come to work in a suit and tie, holding a brief case, and demanding decisions to be made.

We enjoy what we do and it shows.

We wear jeans, we compare sock patterns, and it is never a surprise to see the guys taking a quick break to shoot some pool.

We care about our neighbors, our city, and like any true North Dakotan, about waving at everyone we pass on the street.

The Golden Rule

We are developers who care. Ben and Austin didn’t build Enclave’s foundation from a book, or from advice from other developers. Enclave was built following one rule, treat others how you would like to be treated.

“We not only develop in these cities, we live and raise our families in these cities. If we wouldn’t like to see a huge apartment complex go up in our backyard where our children play, then we assume our fellow community members wouldn’t either.”

However, Fargo is growing rapidly and there is a continued demand for housing, and we see opportunity in being the ones to provide, as well as assist in growing our beautiful city.

How do we meet in the middle to please everyone?

Compromise, compromise, compromise.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Enclave meets with those who are directly impacted by every project BEFORE going ahead with the construction. Why? Because we get it. This is your city just as much as it is ours. We want to hear your ideas and we want to make everyone happy.

In reality, we know we will not please everyone. But we will continue to do our best. Our focus is always on our target market. We listen to peoples needs, wants, and desires.

Unlike other developers, we find the need before building. We work to crunch numbers and see what people want, then we make the magic happen.
