Real estate investing isn’t always easy.

In fact, it can be pretty tough to stay motivated when you’re working on a particularly difficult home, having a tough time selling a property that you know is a great deal, or you’re in-between investments.

So what can you do to stay on your game, even when the game isn’t working out the way you want it to?

3 Ways to Stay On Your Game as a Real Estate Investor

While it sounds like a cliché, surrounding yourself with people who believe in you—and in your abilities—is one of the most important things you can do as a real estate investor.

This is true whether you’re brand-new to real estate investing or you’re a seasoned veteran.

Other than that, here’s what you can do.

Motivation Tip #1 for Real Estate Investors: Engage in “Dream-Building”

As a real estate investor, you have goals… but have you written them down? Have you thought about the end result of reaching those goals?

It’s always a good idea to remind yourself where you’re going to be after one more transaction, five more… even 100 more transactions. If that means cutting out a picture of that new sports car or an island getaway in the Bahamas and keeping it in your wallet, go for it.

Motivation Tip #2 for Real Estate Investors: Keep Track of Your Time

You might be surprised if you take an objective look at where you really spend most of your time. Try this: keep track of your time in 15-minute increments. Once you see how much you’re actually able to accomplish in just a quarter of an hour, you’ll be amazed at what you can do in a larger span of time.

Motivation Tip #3 for Real Estate Investors: Never Stop Learning

Make sure you’re learning something new or making a new connection every day. Every single day! Sometimes changing gears from actively solving to learning something new can make a huge difference in what you get done—and that new knowledge will sit in your vast reservoir of real estate investing know-how until you need it someday.
