Property Flipping and Partying

Just the other day I was invited to attend a party however I barely knew anyone who was attending, so in other words, I really just did not want to go at all.

The truth is I’ve been invited to parties similar to this in the past where I do not know anyone, but with my girl friend pushing me, of course I did eventually go.

How come I did not want to go?

Through my own thinking I had created a sense of fear about attending the party…without any sort of basis within reality.

Whenever I thought about the party I pictured myself standing there to the side of the room, desperately trying to find something to talk about with the people who were there - and no matter how hard I tried, I always struggled to make a good connection with someone. I never was able to find something that I could talk to other people easily about, the convos were always awkward, add in some super loud music and I always managed to have a downright miserable time.

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

Have you ever had a party experience similar to mine?

To be specific, these types of events are the ones you go to where you think to yourself that you would rather be at the dentist than suffering through this agonizing torture….

But what if I had tried to simply picture and expect a different and better outcome?

Instead of sitting there, alone and miserable…imagine if I had pictured being engaged in a great experience, surrounded by awesome and interesting people that were truly interested in what I had to say and contribute, taking part in great conversation, while my favorite music played in the background, feeling completely comfortable and at ease?

Imagine being able to change this sort of perception not only when faced with a decision about a gathering to attend…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 and finally, after years, you have found the perfect home for purchase. All of the signs point to yes. You have a good price, you have financing, and you have figured out your expenses and know with 99% accuracy what you can get for resale.

However you still picture everything going all wrong, with the house just sitting there on the market, while you sit there watching everything unfold around you, constantly losing money…

What are your prospects of success if you continue with this mental attitude?

There is really no chance of success if you hold that type of mental belief.

Be positive and picture the house selling for more than you expected, under one month, providing you and your financiers with an awesome profit on the deal.

To be successful you must adopt this sort of mindset.

This is not a wild theory  that things will go well just because you PERCEIVE it will...far from it. You must have a good strategy that diminishes the odds of a poor deal - in oder to place yourself in a position to perceive value and awesome experiences instead of thinking of the pain.

And even more importantly to acquire this positive mindset, once you have done all that you need to then imagine success mentally and think only of all the good things to come from the deal.

This is the mindset you need to flip houses and is the very first critical step to house flipping success.
