House Flipping and Parties

A couple of nights ago I was invited to attend a gathering but I did not know the party hosts very well and to put it simply, I really just did not want to go at all.

The truth is I’ve been invited to gatherings just like this in the past where I don’t know the hosts, but at my wife’s insistence, I always end up going.

How come I did not want to go?

I had, in my mind, created a false sense of fear of attending…which was not at all based in reality.

When I thought about the party, I had envisioned myself standing there, alone in the corner,, earnestly trying to find something to talk about with someone - of course no matter how hard I tried, I struggled to make a connection. I always had a hard time finding common ground with other people, the convos were always awkward, plus the music playing too loud in the background and I was just plain miserable.

As sad as it sounds, that is how I always envisioned my party experiences.

Haven't most of us, at least at some point in time, felt like this?

These are the kinds of gatherings you go to where you think to yourself that you would rather be having a root canal than going through this torture….

But what if, instead of dreading the party, I had expected and pictured myself enjoying it?

Instead of sitting there, alone and miserable…imagine if I had pictured being engaged in a great experience, surrounded by awesome and interesting people very interested in me, who I was, where I was from and what I did, engaging in lively interesting conversation, while enjoyable music played in the background, completely relaxed and calm, enjoying the life experience?

Now say I had pictured in my mind the above scenario, how much do you think I would want to go to the party now?

How this Relates to the House Flipping Mindset

Imagine being able to change this type of perception not just when faced with a party choice…but when you are about to make your first house flipping deal?

Let’s say you have worked hard in order to begin your career in real estate you find the perfect house flipping opportunity. All signs are saying move forward, they're all telling you to go for it. The price is absolutely right, the financing is all lined up, and you have figured out your expenses and you are 90% sure of the price you will get when you finally sell the property.

Yet despite all this, you picture all going south, with the house just sitting there on the market, every month your margins and profits slowly dwindle away…

What are the chances that you are you going to do this house flip?

You really don't stand a chance at all.

Be positive and picture the house selling for more than you expected, under one month, giving you and your backers a full return on their investment.

To be successful you must adopt this sort of mindset.

What this is not is just a wild assumption that things will go well simply because you think it will...that is not true at all. You really need an awesome strategy and gameplan of steps that minimizes that odds of a really awful deal - in oder to place yourself in a spot to receive value and wonderful feelings instead of focusing on the pain .

And even more importantly to gain the house flipping mindset, once you have done all that you need to then expect success in your mind and focus on all that you have to gain from the deal.

This is the house flipping mindset, the positive mental attitude, and the first step to making any success real estate investing, or house flipping career.
