Today I'm going to give you the 10 rules that you need to know to become a successful real estate investor.

This is coming from all my years of experience having flipped over 700 homes

and we currently manage over 600 rental properties. So let's jump into it. Rule number one you cannot

time the market don't even try I mean seriously I I can't tell you how many people

ask me this question they say Ryan is now a good time to buy real estate and I'm like well the only reason you would ask that question is if you're not actively buying real estate right? I mean for most people if you're a full-time real estate

investor like myself I can't just stop buying real estate and you know all of a sudden do

nothing I mean I wouldn't have any income, I wouldn't have a job,

I wouldn't have all these things.

If you're flipping houses, if you're wholesaling,

like you can't just stop because maybe the market's

not favorable to you right this moment, got to just figure out ways to make

money in any market and so anytime I hear this it's just kind of like more of an

excuse to somebody who's maybe thinking about getting into real estate.

And they're like, well, now's not like the optimal time.

Maybe I'll just wait it out, right?

Or maybe I'll hear just a normal, let's say W-2 person

who's looking at buying a rental property, they're like well should I buy right now and

once again my question is like well if you're not a very good real estate investor right now

like you're thinking about buying your first property well clearly you know, you know, you don't really know what you're doing.

So how do you think you could time the market, right?

Like that's just very naive to think that that's possible

if you don't have experience.
