Here’s How to Overcome the Things Stopping you from Earning Money in Property
Starting out in property can be SCARY! We get it.
It can also be one of the most rewarding investment strategies, (the most rewarding in our humble opinion!). But we get it’s not all plain sailing and knowing what is holding you back, is half of the battle.
Take a look below at what we think are the most common things holding new investors back. Oh, we’ve even told you how to get past them!
Knowledge
Or more likely, lack of knowledge. Investing thousands of pounds into property means that ideally, you could do with some prior knowledge to support this. You need to know what legislation affects not only different strategies, but also different areas. Make sure that the source of your information is reliable and accurate. You could also learn from other successful investors but be careful not to lose sight of your own creativity and “why”.
Planning is Power
“Winging it” is not a wise strategy when investing in property. Instinct and gut feeling alone are not a strong enough strategy to ensure that you’re profitable. Create your plan and stick to it. Don’t get distracted by comparing your situation to other peoples’. It will only confuse and potentially derail your progress. Keep your end goal in mind. Make sure that any decisions that you make along the way are still allowing you to achieve the goals you initially set.

Don’t Get Too Emotional
This is such a common mistake that beginners make and one of the biggest road blocks to becoming profitable. Emotions have no place in property investing and should not factor when making decisions. Decisions should be based on facts, finances, end goals and knowledge.
It Can Be a Risky Business
Truth bomb… There is no such thing as zero risk. Any investment involves risk. It’s all about taking calculated, controlled risks. Don’t get struck down by analysis paralysis. The perfect investment doesn’t exist. By controlling your emotions, following your plan and arming yourself with strong knowledge, it is possible to mitigate risk and be incredibly successful.
