Many others fail because they are so focused on landing the “big one” that all the fish waiting to be snapped up never even get noticed. They never notice all the opportunities around them!
If you don’t want to miss out on all the new real estate investing opportunities around you, do this: don’t focus on the fish; focus on your REI tacklebox.
What do I mean by that?
You should be able to add to your REI Tacklebox put deals together, help people and make money regardless of the situation.
If you want to become more effective as an active real estate investor, you need to focus on building your real estate investing tackle box.
With your tacklebox in place you are more prepared. Your increased awareness, expanded capabilities, and specialized problem-solving knowledge will help you begin catching all the new real estate investing opportunities and deals that are ALREADY all around you!
Because I promise you…they are!
You want to be able to help each and very person you come across, not just victims of circumstance. You can help those people too and, but you need as many lures in your tackle box as possible.
You want to be the person everybody comes to when they need results.
When people need you, then you can really make things happen. There’s no shortcut here; you must help people and provide everybody that deals with you incredible value.
When you understand the techniques and methods to help people (buyers, sellers, lenders, banks, tenants, real estate agents, the credit-challenged, homeowners in distress etc) you’ll be able to make money hand over fist.
Why?
Fish return to the spots where they feel comfortable and get fed— and if you haven’t noticed, they bring their friends and swim in groups.
Be the fisherman who knows how to give them what they want and need, and where to find them will be easy— they will find YOU.
And with your real estate investing tacklebox, with its many baits, lures, and hooks, you’ll be ready for any scenario that comes your way.
If you decide to go this route and get more actively involved investing in real estate, it’s going to take some time and energy. It’s going to take focus. But it’s going to take an open mind to new opportunities too!
The good news is that the resources you need to put in your real estate investing tackle box have already been laid out for you.

Create a Swipe File for Future Marketing Ideas
There’s nothing worse than staring at a blank page and trying to come up with some new creative marketing ideas. That’s why I suggest that you create a swipe file of marketing ideas.

Real Estate Investing Research: Things to Look For
Real estate investing research is so very important. Clarity in the real estate marketplace is power. Professional investors have it. Speculators and novices are always seeking for it. It’s why professional investors who understand the real estate market cycles and know how to research real estate markets can make more money in the longer term than speculators and ‘flippers’ can make in the short term. Gaining this clarity in the real estate marketplace is a function of examining hard data and asking objective questions of it.
