What is the deal? Why have I had blogging on my list of things to do for over a year? If you notice the industry I am in and you have listened to the radio, read the paper or watched the television even for a mere total of five minutes during 2008 then you know my industry took a stumble. That is to say, it's not like I have been slammed busy. Yes, I still show up for work everyday. There are always ways to improve my business, always things to do, people to meet, calls to make. But why haven't I made the time to blog?
These are the same questions I am now asking financially responsible people who should be investing in real estate. What is the deal? The rates are great, the inventory is high. It is a buyer's market, what on earth are you waiting for?
Their answer may be the same as the one I recently discovered for myself....fear. For some unfounded reason, I thought perhaps I wouldn't be tech savvy enough to figure out this blogging deal. I made the action out to be so much bigger than it was. A tad bit of fear created a mushroom of uncertainty and procrastination around blogging. Totally unfounded. I was wrong. Now...I jumped the hurdle. I am a blogger.
Of course I realize investing in property is a much bigger risk than starting to blog. But, the thing that prevents someone could be the same. In fact, I am betting on it. I am betting fear is the biggest hurdle at this point that is keeping able bodied buyers procrastinating on investing in their future and building their wealth. I am not suggesting by any means that people throw caution to the wind and dive in to the market. But I am making a call to fiscally responsible souls to get the facts, get with your Realtor and get busy. By the time the rest of the population overcomes the fear factor, the rates may not be so great anymore, those oh so yummy buyer incentives may be a thing of the past and the market may have switched to favor sellers. The time is now, JUMP THE HURDLE.
