I want you to take perspective of property today. This perspective is not about buying land, a home, condo or any equity based investment.

And I know, this is what we do, so bear with me for a moment.

I don’t even want you to consider down payments, foreclosures or shorts sells. Today, I want you to accept a different outlook.

One that improves the odds, increases the bottom line and more importantly, gives you something to live for.

When I suggest that your greatest power as a homeowner is in trusting yourself, I’m suggesting something greater than financial returns and a sound opportunity.

There is a center and balance to life that’s necessary for all wealth and success to stand upon. If it’s not there, the resulting lifestyle drains anything you accomplish or any money you make.

Now. …let me put it to you in a simpler way.

Your success will be short lived without quality of life.

The result of quality in the life you live creates three awesome attributes I don’t think you should live without. With a healthy quality of life, you easily obtain a legacy, a lineage and an undying integrity in your life experience from day to day.

But you may have caught on to a paradox brewing.

A legacy, a lineage and integrity are found at the heart of a true home. These are the three components of trusting in who you are and what you’re capable of.

So as we advance our portfolios, sell multiple properties and purchase on the low, let’s be reminded of how much quality is involved. My objective today is for you to see the values of home AS the actual investment you make.

Not the house itself.

Those values? They inevitably hold us accountable to buying property.

A whole lot of property!

Didn’t I mention a paradox in all of this? I made sure my editor kept that in.

It’s been over 10 years since ownership of my first property. It didn’t immediately bring money. Years passed before seeing a real return in equity in fact. What it brought was the security I’m speaking about at the moment.

That message is one where the edification of legacy, lineage and integrity are an awesome foundation for real estate success.

If you can build a brand and life on these principals, you will inevitably become a huge purchaser of land.
