I cannot begin to tell you the importance of investing local. This is not only true for beginners but can be extremely helpful for the seasoned investor as well. Let me explain…

The cost of buying local is always far less than buying outside your city, state or country. The reasons for this are obvious…you cannot easily see, touch and feel properties that are out of your own backyard. You must hop in a car, boat or plane to go see something that is out of your area.

The lure is always there for investors to want to jump ship from there local hood and go to where “the grass is greener”. This is most often a huge mistake.

I’m not saying that you cannot make money out of state or out of country. Many have, including me. But, regardless of where you reside, the easiest and safest place to invest will always be where you live.

If you will focus on one specific area in your city or state and make it your mission to know everything that there is to know about that particular area you will be astounded with how well you do over time.

Real Estate has been, and always will be, local. By staying close to home you can avoid not only the expense of traveling back and forth to other areas but you will also save yourself the ALWAYS un-fun expense of learning a new area the hard way.

You see every time that you enter a new market, regardless of your experience, there is going to be a learning curve. You will not know all of the different nuances that are associated with that particular area.

In your part of town, you know what people do for a living, why this neighborhood is better than that one and why, whether an area is up and coming or it is turning downward. You do not have to know anything about real estate and I am sure that you know this.

Starting in your own backyard is the surest way to improve your chances of success. Don’t make investing in real estate harder than it has to be. By staying local you can become the “expert” and this will reward you handsomely.

To Your Success…
