House Flips and Partying with New People

I was invited to a party the other night and having a vague knowledge of the party hosts, I really didn't feel like attending.

The truth is I’ve been invited to parties similar to this in the past where I don’t know the hosts, but at my girl friend's insistence, of course I end up in attendance.

Why didn’t I want to go?

Through my own thinking I had created a sense of fear about attending the party…which, thankfully, was not at all based on reality.

When I thought about the party, I had envisioned myself standing there, alone in the corner,, desperately trying to find something to talk about with the people who were there - even though I tried really hard, I consistently struggled to connect with people. I never was able to find common ground, the conversations always seemed so awkward, add in some obnoxious music and I always had a bad time.

That is pretty much how I always used to picture myself at a party.

Have you ever had a party experience similar to mine?

These are the parties you go to where you think to yourself that you would rather be trapped at the dentist office for a week than going through this torture….

What if I had pictured a different outcome instead?

Instead of sitting there, alone and miserable…imagine if I had been encircled by incredible, awe inspiring people very interested in me, who I was, where I was from and what I did, taking part in great conversation, with wonderful music playing nicely in the background, completely relaxed and calm, enjoying the life experience?

If had pictured THIS scenario instead, 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 kind of perception not only when faced with a decision about a gathering to attend…but also when you go into your first house flipping deal?

Lets say that you have worked your buns off for three years in order to begin your career in real estate and you have finally found the perfect property to buy. All signs are saying move forward, they're all telling you to go for it. The price is absolutely right, the financing is spot on, and you have figured out your expenses and you are sure about what you will be able to sell the property for.

Yet you imagine the deal crumbling beneath you, the house sitting on the market for months, every month your margins and profits slowly dwindle away…

Now what are your chances of success with this negative mental attitude?

Not unless you change the PERCEPTION of pain versus pleasure.

Instead, try picturing the house selling for more more than your worst case scenario, under one month, giving you and your backers a full return on their investment.

This is the mindset you must adopt. We like to call it the House Flipping Mindset.

This is not a guarantee that all will go as planned that things will go silky smooth simply because you think it will...no my friend, that is not the case at all. You need to have a specific strategy that diminishes the odds of a poor deal - in oder to place yourself in a spot to receive value and awesome experiences instead of focusing on the pain .

And even more importantly to gain this type of house flipping mindset, and once you have mentally prepared be sure to then expect success in your mind and think only of all the good things to come from the deal.

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