Investors who fail to plan, plan to fail.
It’s an old adage but very true.
The major factor that stops most people from investing in a property is their inability to save up for an initial deposit or even fulfil subsequent payments. For some, this is an impossible task, especially as prices of real estate in Lagos metropolis and urban areas keep going higher.
The key aim of property investors is to build a portfolio that yields steady and profitable returns, giving a guarantee of financial freedom.
However, doing so without a plan of attack is like setting out on a road trip without a map…you’ll inevitably take a wrong turn and end up lost!
Purchasing or investing in real estate becomes easier when you set goals and devise plans to achieve them.
Successful wealth creation through real estate requires you to set goals. It helps you determine your objectives, and also devise a cohesive plan to achieve them.
Here are 4 steps you should take to achieve your goals as a property investor.
Step 1
Work out what you want to achieve with regards to income – Are you chasing short term yields or long-term wealth growth? How best can you manage your cash flow as a smart investor?
Step 2
Do your research. What type of property do you need to buy to meet your income goals? What type of real estate partner do you need to help you facilitate the procurement of these properties?
Step 3
Always check if your goals are realistic and achievable, especially within the defined timeline.
Step 4
Measure progress towards your goals – whether your property portfolio is working for you, or if you’re working for it.
And the real benefit is you’ll be able to grow your wealth through a safe and profitable property portfolio, much better than an average or impulsive investor.
