Today Kevin McDonnell is interviewing Istvan, a member of Kevin's course and mastermind programme. He went from accounting and finance with no property experience to a property investor in just a few years. It took him longer than he thought to breakthrough, he was close to quitting at points and didn’t make a single deal for 7 months from his start. But now 2 years on he is ready to take the leap and become a full time property investor.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most people want instant results- we are used to getting what we want, NOW. Too many people only spend a few months, then give up if they didn’t get what they thought they would. Istvan talks about how that didn’t happen. Life can steer you away from your goals if you don’t stay on course, and he was determined for that to not happen to him. In the end it took him 7 months to get his first deal- but he kept trying.
You're not achieving nothing- getting the keys to the house isn't the only goal. Every time you go out to view, every time you speak to an agent you are learning something. This all adds up in your knowledge bank. The deals will come, and having that knowledge you have built up will be what could take you over the line with securing it.
You don’t have to quit your job- build your parachute before you jump. Starting your property journey while still in a job isn’t something that will hold you back, it’s something that will keep you secure until you are ready.
Strengthen your business- don’t be a victim of your own success. Success at the start can give you overconfidence, Istvan found. He was able to easily fill houses and collect rents - until his empty rooms started to grow. He took the time to look at any issue, improve his offering and now is happy to have full occupancy and in need of more houses again!

 

 

BEST MOMENTS
“Trust the process, back yourself, and keep going”
“The hardest deal you will ever do is the first one”
“Stop looking for immediate gratification and instant results”
