Every No Leads You Closer to a Yes in Real Estate Investing

June 19, 2021
real estate investing, being persistent

Are you afraid of hearing no when you sit down with a seller? Everyone in the real estate investing world will tell you they have heard, “No”. We all hear it. But it doesn’t matter. For every no you hear, you are that much closer to hearing a yes on a great real estate investment deal

Think about it: people go to their ‘job’ over 300 days a year to make $50,000 or even $150,000. In real estate investing you can go to 20 appointments and get a no, and then in the 21st meeting make enough to cover an annual income for a typical job. 

If you will go to a job all year, why wouldn’t you be willing to go to 20 or 30 appointments to make more than you make for your annual salary? 

And, the yes could happen at your first appointment or your fifth appointment. The key is to remember that it is still less time and more money than your job. Is it worth hearing no? Definitely.

Be Confident in Real Estate Investing

Fear, to me, means “false evidence appearing real.” That is why I always say to face your fear. Face up to the fact that it is okay to hear no. You can work yourself up about what you think will happen at an appointment, when in reality it probably isn’t what’s going to happen at all.

You can go over every negative scenario repeatedly, getting to the point that you are too scared to even go on an appointment, let alone close a deal. But, 99.9% of what you think will happen, likely won’t. But, the fear is so strong that you let it stop you. 

Step away from this fear of hearing no. When you feel fear and can push through it, it means you are growing and learning. If you are always comfortable, you know you aren’t doing everything you can to succeed. 

If you’re afraid of things, that’s okay, but know that just on the other side is where you need to be to grow your real estate investing business beyond your expectations. 

Take Action Despite the Fear of No

Success is on the other side of the comfort zone. The only way to get there is to take action, even when you have a fear of hearing no. Being comfortable just slows you down. 

There is only so much learning you can do. I see so many students say they aren’t ready to go on an appointment. That they haven’t learned enough about real estate investing yet. 

But, you don’t have to know it all to meet with a seller. These meetings, even the ones where you hear no, are what prepare you for the next appointment, where you might hear yes. 

Running a successful real estate investing business takes work and the willingness to take massive action. I want to share how I grew my investing business from nothing by teaching you step-by-step how I do it. I invite you to download my Unlimited Funding Kit if you are just getting started.
