Is It Worth Getting a Property Mentor?

"Seek mentors who have done what you desire to do and who have become what you desire to be"

If you speak to any successful person you will find that he has or has had great mentors to get him to where he is today. If you want to become successful in property, I would advise you to find someone you can learn from and who can help you to take that first step. If at all possible, find a mentor you can speak to personally, rather than someone who will only speak to you if you are part of a group in a seminar-style setting.

A mentor will be someone whose work you admire. He will be someone who has achieved what you want to and is in a position to get you where you want to be quickly. A mentor will also have access to a network that you may wish to be part of.

For example, your property mentor will have a team of property finders, solicitors, financiers, surveyors, architects and builders etc who he uses in his daily business. Good professionals often take years to source. However, you could greatly enhance your chances of success by tapping into the same team that your mentor uses.

As a property entrepreneur, I have several mentors who have helped me to achieve quick results that would otherwise have taken me several years to attain.

A good mentor will

  • Coach you
  • Guide you
  • Nurture you
  • Challenge and criticise you to get the best results possible
  • ……and much more until you succeed

So how do I find a mentor?

There are several methods you should be using to find your ideal mentor. I’ve listed a few here:

  • Network

By attending networking events and meeting other successful property investors, you should very quickly be able to pick out a couple of people you think could help you in your property career.

It’s then a question of approaching them and asking them if they offer any mentoring. If they don’t, ask them if you can help them in their business for free in return for some general guidance – this normally works quite well.

 

  • Surf the internet

Use the internet to research existing property entrepreneurs in your area. Again, look for someone who has achieved what you wish to achieve and looks like someone you could work with.

 

  • Ask a friend

If you have any successful property investor friends, you could ask them to guide you. Alternatively, ask them if they have any mentors that they wouldn’t mind you working with.

 

  • Source authors of property books and courses

If there is any book or program that you have bought in the past and learned from, you may want to approach the author and ask him if he offers mentorship. This is a great way to find an established and recognized expert.

Once you have chosen a mentor, you will be spending a lot of time with him so please ensure he is someone you are comfortable working with him. Good communication is essential. Common goals and similar interests will definitely help here.

Property Investment Courses

 

"Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins", Jim Rohn

Investing in property may seem like todays flavour of the month. However, due to the large amounts of money changing hands, it is not something that you should try without proper training and guidance.

When I first started investing in property, I spent a lot of man hours educating myself. I bought every single book on property that I could lay my hands on. I spent a lot of time and effort attending workshops and seminars. When I had become confident of my abilities, I ventured out and bought my first property.

Buying my first property did not mean that I could now stop learning about property investment. In fact, it was the exact opposite. I was now spending more time learning the different property investment strategies; I was attending more seminars and courses and reading specialised books on investing. Had I stopped learning after my first purchase I would not be a successful property investor today.

A couple of weeks ago, I did some research to see what courses were being offered to help people get into property investment. Quite frankly, I was shocked by the results. I found single day courses and workshops ranging from £500 to £10,000’s. And, that’s not all.

I even found several portfolio companies requesting 6 figure sums in return for an ‘off the shelf’ property portfolio! Today, every other person appears to be offering a property investing course. How do you choose which one is right for you?

Firstly, my advice would be for you to not pay anyone to buy a property portfolio for you. If you want success in property, you need to understand at least the basics of property investing. Paying someone a truck load of money to buy a few properties for you will not give you this knowledge.

Attending property courses should by definition increase your knowledge of property investment. However, prior to parting with any money you need to address the following issues:

• What are the credentials of the course organizer? Is he/she a property investor himself and how much experience does he/she have?

The best person to advise you on property investing would be someone who walks the talk – there’s little to gain from a presenter who has never bought a property before.

• What are the course contents? Will advanced techniques be addressed?

It’s the advanced techniques used by successful property investors that will set you apart from all those other wannabe property investors.

• How many people will be attending the course?

A course attended by hundreds of people may lack the personal touch, but will present networking opportunities to you.

• How much and how long is the course?

Paying several thousand pounds for a one day course is too much. You need to weigh up the cost, length and contents before making up your mind.

• Will I be given the opportunity to network with other attendees of the course?

The property business is a business of relationships. You need to network with others in the same business as you will not be able to do it alone.

• What is the location of the venue?

Is it worth traveling hundreds of miles to a course that may be offered closer to where you live?

• What support will be provided after completion of the course?

Course attendees quite often become unstuck after attending a course. You need to find out if any support is offered after you complete the course.

Only once you are satisfied with your answers to the above questions should you part with any cash.

Be warned though, attending a course by itself will not make you into a successful property investor. What will set you apart from any other attendee on the course is your level of motivation and determination to succeed in property investing.
