Flipping Houses: The Importance Of Knowing Your Strengths

Written by Paul Esajian

Everyone has different strengths that will play into how you build your business of flipping houses.  While there are certain attributes that are common amongst successful entrepreneurs it is most important to recognize what your own strengths are and where you could use some work.

Some of those interested in flipping houses and starting real estate investing companies may have bravery and enthusiasm as top strengths while others caution and due diligence, and others social intelligence and networking skills.  As you can see, these can all be beneficial in different ways when you are flipping houses.

Knowing where your top strengths are will enable you to better position and brand your real estate investing business as well as better structure your organization to capitalize on them and make up where you could use some help.

If knowledge of the process of flipping houses is an area you are short in, you can easily fix this by investing in a good real estate education course.  However if areas like organization and paying attention to the details is not your strong suit then you may be better off hiring or outsourcing some of the monotonous tasks that are involved in flipping houses to someone who thrives on this type of work.  Do not feel that you have to be great at everything in order to be successful at real estate investing.  In fact in many cases you are better off outsourcing items that will sap your mojo and slow you down.

However you should recognize that your strengths will dictate which types of marketing are best for your flipping houses ventures.  If you are not a great speaker then yes you could start attending Toastmasters or you could simply hire a presenter to run webinars for you or a sales pro to deal with tough negotiations on the phone.  Know your strengths, capitalize on them where you can, identify the other areas and deal with them and start flipping more houses than ever before.
