Property Investing: People Have 2 Reasons For Not Doing It...

===========================================================
Most people have 2 reasons for doing things, the one they'll
tell you and the real one.
I was talking with a group of people this week about investing
in property and they all said that the reason they don't invest
in property is because they don't have the money.
When I probed a bit, I found out that there were other reasons.
When I was a teenager, I loved to window shop, looking at all
the things that I would buy if I had the money. Even when I got
older, I've been known to test drive cars I couldn't afford,
just to see if they're really worth the money. It takes some
confidence, but is a good way to spend an afternoon.
So whilst I didn't have the money, I knew just how short I was,
the various options and the best place to buy what I wanted. It
didn't bring it any closer, but at least I knew how big the gap
was and made spending my Christmas money much easier in the
January sales.
Talking with these people, I realised that even if they had the
money, they wouldn't rush out and buy a house. One of the
questions they asked me was how I found the deposit for my first
property, which isn't the right question, as my financial
situation is likely to be totally different to the questioner.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being wary, all
I'm saying is that you should know what the real reason is.
I often play a game with some of my friends at answering the
exact question they ask, rather than what they mean to ask. For
example, I may have a car wheel in my hall and they ask what it
is. Now it's fairly obvious what it is, but what they mean to
ask is what have you got that for.
It may sound like mumbo jumbo, but if these people had said that
they wanted to get into property, but didn't have the money yet,
they'd have been a whole lot further along their journey to
becoming a person of
property.
Sometimes people expect me to convince them of the reasons for
investing in property, and whilst I used to do this, I've given
up. I'm more than happy to help anyone who wants to get into
property, especially if they're buying lunch, but to be able to
help someone they need to want to be helped.
If they'd asked how much they needed, what knowledge they needed
and the pitfalls, then we'd be cooking on gas.
It's really hard to get answers to the real questions, if you
don't know what they are.
I know, it took me 5 years to realise that I was scared of the
risk and that knowing all the pitfalls would help me avoid them,
but only when I took the jump would I know for real. Sometimes
in life, we can run through numerous "what if" scenarios, but
only by taking action will we know how it turns out.
I'm not saying that you should all invest right now, just asking
you to think about the real reasons.
Talking of getting the knowledge, I know a 17 year old, who
spent 2 weeks on work experience with a property developer,
attends property investment workshops and is so keen to
understand how to invest in property that she emails me weekly
to ask what I'm up to.
I offered to take her to an auction in London next week and
she's said that she wants to be there at the start, even though
the property I'm interested in won't come up until 2PM. Her
reasoning is that she wants to learn as much as possible.
But this concept applies to many situations. Have you ever been
in a negotiation and got the feeling that the point you're
negotiating isn't the real issue ?
Only when you find out the real reason can you start to reach an
agreement.
Sometimes people don't know the real reason themselves, so it
can take some time, but the technique of saying, OK, let's
imagine that you came into some money, what would you buy ? This
gets them past the mental stumbling block and allows you to
probe for the real reason that they don't want to take action.
