Where Deals Really Come From
The truth is shockingly simple but often overlooked: deals are always out there—no matter the interest rate, market conditions, or economic headlines. Why? The reason is rooted in human behavior. People's lives are constantly evolving and that movement creates opportunities for investors.

Every single day, people face major life changes that force real estate decisions:

A family inherits a property they don’t want
Someone loses a job and needs to sell quickly
A couple divorces and must divide assets
Illness makes homeownership difficult
A loved one passes away, leaving behind a home
These situations create motivated sellers—people who need to sell, not merely want to. And motivated sellers exist in every city, every market, and at every interest rate level. That’s why as an investor, it’s critical you learn the difference between the wrong mindset and the right one.

❌The Wrong Mindset
Many new investors adopt the wrong mindset: they wait for the “perfect” market.

Wait for interest rates to drop
Wait for prices to fall
Chase MLS listings already saturated with competition
When you focus on solely on publicly listed properties, you enter a crowded arena. You're competing with the masses and that means paying retail prices, not getting a deal.

✅The Right Mindset
The correct approach is to adapt a proactive mindset. Instead of waiting for the market to hand you an opportunity, you create opportunities by solving problems. This is done through targeted marketing strategies designed to attract motivated sellers. Once you find a potential deal, the focus shifts to solving the seller’s problems which creates a win-win situation that benefit both sides. When you approach investing this way, market conditions don’t matter. Life keeps happening, and that means deals keep coming.

Key Takeaway:
Real estate investing isn’t about timing the market perfectly. It’s about understanding that life events drive deals, not interest rates or housing trends.

Stop Waiting, Start Acting
Next time someone says, “I’m waiting for the market to cool off,” or “I’ll buy when rates drop,” recognize that these are simply excuses. Deals exist now. They always have, and they always will.
