Real Estate Gurus - What Can They Teach Us?

Names like Robert Kiyosaki, Ken McElroy and Donald Trump tend to make it into the common language. Even people who don't exactly know Robert Kiyosaki's name recognize “the Rich Dad, Poor Dad” guy. But Donald Trump? Everybody knows who he is. They know he owns a LOT of real estate. People don’t understand, however, how much they actually have in common with someone like Trump or Mr. Kiyosaki.

The main difference between people like Donald Trump and the average person is that he has taken the time to study and learn about investing in real estate. Of course, Trump may have grown up investigating the various parts of real estate, just as another guy may have grown up exploring the various aspects of football or perhaps his favorite style of music. These mentors realized that learning about real estate is a perfectly reasonable accomplishment for a reasonably smart person to set out and do. All you have to do is understand what you need to know and take action.

The Rich Dad book-series helps you do just that.

You must learn the process of investing in real estate, a how the whole thing works. You need to know that you need to learn some basic accounting and finance, and familiarize yourself with property law. You don't have to learn a lot, but you do have to be conversant with your accountant and your attorney. After learning how to read the language of real estate, so to speak, it is then time to study the markets. It is very important that you learn how to study and keep on top of the real estate markets that you are interested in.

Then there is the business of the negotiation and knowing what to do to make sure that you get all the information on a piece of property that you need to make an intelligent decision – even information that the seller may be withholding. The experienced investor gets this info by making sure to inspect the potential investment his or herself, and by bringing along the appropriate member(s) of the team of experts he will have hired. This team are your eyes and ears. They will see the things that you may miss and they will give you valuable advice.

The newbie investor has to know how important his or her team is, so he won't try and invest without one.

These are the things that the investment property experts know. It is a process that they have mastered. Of course, they have been through that process so many times that it has become 2nd nature for them. But it is something that you can learn as well.

And that is the main difference between the gurus and someone like you is that the gurus understand how easy investing in real estate actually is.

Kiyosaki is a man who seized an opportunity when he saw it. The son of an educator, he could have grown up believing that his destiny was to spend his life as a “wage slave”. In his Rich Dad book-series, he writes that his father was an incredibly intelligent man, but he referred to him as his “poor dad.” The opportunity Kiyosaki saw was that of listening to the rich father of his friend, who advised him a better financial future lay ahead for him if he simply got into real estate investing. He took this advice from his “rich dad” to heart and began studying how to do it.

He is still learning it today. All the gurus are, because investing in real estate is an ever-changing discipline. The markets are constantly fluctuating, and tend not to stay stationary. All it takes to become rich is to simply sit down and learn how it is done. All you need is the commitment to studying.
