Description
In this groundbreaking book, Terrie Schauer argues that investing in real estate can be a way to generate income without spending most of your waking hours trapped in the hamster wheel. But for this to turn into a reality, you need to become a mindful landlord. Mindfulness primer, compelling mythbuster, and practical step-by-step guide all in one, this book leaves no stones unturned.
Introduction
The real estate coaching industry is a noisy place. Gurus, agents, and coaches compete to sell their brand of get-rich-quick training. It's a climate that encourages new investors to take big risks, leverage to the hilt, and do as many deals as possible, fast. As a result, many fledgling landlords seek deals without assessing the quality of what they're buying. There is a real lack of resources that espouse calm. Mindful Landlord offers a middle way through this noise. Focusing on questions such as how, what for, how much, and why, author Terrie Schauer takes a holistic view of creating financial freedom through real estate investing.
How to Use This Book
If you're looking for instant success or quick money from real estate investing, this isn't the book for you. Mindful Landlord isn't another get-rich-quick real estate book. There are enough of those books out there already. And when was a get rich scheme ever really reliable? Instead, within these pages you'll learn about growing your wealth sustainably through wise real estate investments that work for you and your family. Landlording is a business and this book is going to show you how to start and grow that business so you can reach financial freedom and personal growth.
I have outlined a whole new process within this book that I call the Way of the Warrior Landlord.
The Way of the Warrior Landlord is what I reverse-engineered from my journey as a Real Estate Investor and landlord. This process will give you the tools to succeed in real estate investing and a path towards living your own landlord's journey. More importantly, you'll find valuable mental practices to help you create a strong mindset that will enable you to get unstuck if you have trouble getting started. With a solid mindset, you can apply any set of winning strategies.
That's how success works. To succeed, you need winning tactics and a winning mindset. Problems arise either from not knowing best practices or from poor mental habits, or some combination of the two.
The Mindful Landlord is my attempt to gift you both the knowledge- and mindset tools to achieve your vision of financial freedom by owning Real Estate.
