The current economic situation, marked by rampant inflation, has left many individuals feeling distressed about their financial situation. However, it is worth noting that millennials and Gen-Zs are increasingly focused on improving their financial literacy, even if this means being called “stingy” by others. Many are finding financial markets to be a fascinating field to explore.

The growing online community of personal finance experts is changing the conversation around money, real estate investments, and building generational wealth. As a staunch believer in making money grow with you, I believe that your position in a finance-related career depends entirely on what excites you – for me, it’s real estate crowdfunding and investing.

The world of finance encompasses a vast array of areas of expertise, including market analysis, credit, transfer pricing, banking, insurance, real estate investment, crowdfunding, and more. Therefore, without further ado, let us delve into how you can tap into your inner finance enthusiast and flourish in the competitive sphere of real estate investment.

Real estate investing vs. the business of the real estate.  

The terms ‘real estate, ‘property,’ and ‘investing’ are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences. Real estate and ‘property’ are used when discussing land opportunities, while investment refers to acquiring assets to generate wealth.     

If you already have a business, you are investing in real estate to support that business. As an investor, avoid getting caught up in executing transactions with high-risk factors. If there is a loss, you’ll be facing a bumpy road to get back to stability. The other scenario is that if your business is real estate itself, or you’re looking to get into the business full-time, only then take calculated risks. Otherwise, always remember that pursuing risky deals could lead to financial strain.

Plan financial goals 

Entrepreneurs invest to stay ahead of rising taxes and inflation while increasing their security for the future. For some, putting aside money to retire early involves a lot of delayed gratification. So, they wish to save their savings from getting eroded by taxes. And for that purpose, real estate is an excellent solution.

To succeed in the real estate business, one does not need to be a genius or a millionaire. That’s the great thing about real estate. It always fares well because people will always need a place to live, work, shop, and play.

However, this does not ensure that all the properties are hot selling. Develop a comprehensive financial plan that outlines your short-term and long-term goals, taking into account your current financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. Conduct your analysis before you buy the first property. Evaluate your expectations from the investments and outline your financial goals.

Intimidated by the term or unsure how to create financial goals? Well, fret not. Meet a financial advisor whose guidance will be an eye-opener and an excellent first step.        

Avoid over-investing in the research phase.

Once you are ready to break through the barriers and start real estate investing, you are bound to be overwhelmed with anxiety and fear of the unknown. With uncertainties clouding your mind, you might spend most of your time researching and not actually investing. Refrain from overspending during the research phase. Spend a reasonable time and money to master the basics before venturing into investing.

Most people get so entangled in the “research” phase that they never actually takes action. My advice is to jot down the fundamentals, your burning questions, and your goals. Next, stick to finding the answers during the learning phase and later take the plunge.


Evaluate properties with emotions.

At times, people have a love-at-first-sight moment with their first property and let their emotions rule them over logic. Having déjà vu is normal since real estate is your passion project. But buying a property simply because it ‘looks nice’ seems like a safe and reasonable option, but it is advisable to think of your first purchase purely as a business investment. Separate your emotions for a little while, and negotiate logically to get the best possible price.

Never forget the significance of home inspection.

A home inspection is an essential step of due diligence in real estate. Even if an investment property seems to be in pristine condition, you should never skip out on inspections. Try to obtain and confirm every bit of information you can about the potential investment. This includes the physical property, history and possible future of revenue, managing expenses, capital costs, and much more. 

Despite being costly and time-consuming, inspections are integral, or you might spend a lot of cash and time on repairing damages that went unnoticed. Hence, a professional home inspector will help you estimate the cost of repairs before you make an offer.

Negotiate the best price.

Be sure to play smart and keep in mind that a lower price for a property will better the odds of you earning a higher profit from it. As mentioned above, do not just grab the first property you look at, and keep a neutral stance while making investment decisions. Contemplation does not mean falling into analysis paralysis. It can be regarded as shrewdly assessing the wide range of options, then narrowing them down following your goals.

Also, be realistic throughout. Look at different alternatives to determine which makes the most financial sense. Never buy property at a higher price or on less attractive terms than your analysis.

Be prepared for the worst.

Real estate is a bankable business because land is a finite resource. But some investors face losses when they treat it as a gamble. As a real estate investor, you must be prepared for the worst. There may be economic downturns, rising mortgage rates, unexpected repairs, or vacancies that can negatively impact your cash flow. This means you must have a financial reserve to handle such unforeseen issues.

Bottom line

The idea of beginning a career in real estate can be daunting. However, investing in real estate can be wise if you know what you are doing. Now that you are armed with these tips, real estate investing may be for you. So, jump onto the bandwagon!
