#13: The Chicken Or The Egg Question

Alan Cowgill


The Chicken Or The Egg Question

“What would you do first, find a deal or find private money?”

Do you “Find a deal and then go find the money because it gives you the incentive to make it happen.”

I answered just the opposite because having private money will give you the confidence when you make offers that you are going to be able to close.

I don’t know if there is one right answer but if you are not doing either one, read on…

If you simply are not ready to go to the next level is it FEAR holding you back?

If so, I’ve found that education is the key in taming that fear monster and give you the confidence to move ahead.

I remember my 1st deal. My knees were knocking. Fortunately for me I had an experience RE investor walk me through my 1st deal. I also had gotten six months of solid RE education through two home study courses I had purchased, library books on creative real estate and a local REIA seminar.

After that 1st deal the fear monster was gone and I was ready to do it again.

Like I said before, I’ve done my homework, spent tons of money on education and have had lots of practical experience in the business.

If there are gaps in your RE education, take care of that now while you’re busy finding lenders to help take your business to the next level.

You’ll be very glad you did.
