1. Choose the Best Property Among Many Options
Many investors believe that not understanding or failing to choose the most suitable investment type for themselves is one of the major limitations faced by many individual real estate investors.
Therefore, thoroughly researching and selecting the best property among many options is an extremely important factor when starting real estate investment.


2. Raise Capital
Capital is always the top priority when starting a real estate business. Acquiring capital in a smart and strategic way will provide a powerful "launchpad" for real estate investments.
However, many real estate investors fail to filter and choose the right funding partners, or they don't approach capital raising wisely. Additionally, failing to complete deals as initially agreed can result in lost trust from partners due to broken agreements.


3. The “Street Valuation” Method
Theoretically, anyone can talk about or refer to a few conventional valuation methods, but applying them using the “street valuation” method – meaning these theories are practical during negotiations and deals – is a skill few real estate investors fully grasp or master.


4. Negotiation Tips
One of the most common negotiation tactics often used by real estate investors is to beg for a lower price (e.g., 'Give me a discount! Just a little less!...'). However, most inexperienced investors tend to struggle with clumsy negotiation skills.
Negotiation, like any other skill, must be learned from others, from supportive communities, and from experienced individuals. The key is to practice regularly.


5. Visiting Real-Life Successful Investment Models
Real estate investment is one of the classic wealth-building strategies and the foundation behind the massive fortunes of many billionaires.
Simply reading about it or hearing others talk about it can make an investor feel fortunate to know this. However, they will gain much more confidence and motivation when they have the opportunity to visit real-life, proven investment models, especially those created by skilled, experienced investors who have achieved success.


6. Having a Supportive Community


7. Having Multiple Strategies
For most beginners in real estate investing, the knowledge is limited to buying and flipping properties or renting them out to customers. However, this is not enough for a rapidly changing market, like the one in Vietnam that is currently in a recovery phase. Therefore, a skilled investor needs to have multiple strategies in place before starting.
An experienced investor can either learn by immersing themselves in the process, gaining in-depth knowledge of the 10 key lessons, or take a faster approach by learning from experts to shorten the time needed and solidify their understanding, ultimately reducing risks and maximizing potential returns.


8. Tập trung vào những việc quan trọng trong đầu tư
Trong một bối cảnh kinh doanh cạnh tranh khốc liệt như hiện nay, tối ưu hóa hiệu suất công việc là yếu tố quan trọng giúp bạn đạt được sự thành công. Tập trung vào công việc quan trọng là một trong những cách hiệu quả để đạt được mục tiêu này. Vậy nên nhiều nhà đầu tư cho rằng việc tập trung vào những việc quan trọng trong đầu tư là kinh nghiệm đầu tiên mà ai cũng phải biết.
Những công việc đó bao gồm:
- Trau dồi những phẩm chất, yếu tố cần thiết
- Luôn luôn tìm kiếm động lực từ nhiều nguồn để tiếp tục duy trì đam mê
- Giữ vững và thiết lập những nguyên tắc riêng cho mình trong đầu tư.
Hầu hết những nhà đầu tư bất động sản cá nhân thường có thói quen tập trung vào những công việc cấp bách hơn những việc quan trọng. Và họ để cho tâm trí bị phân tâm bởi những thứ không cần thiết trong quá trình đầu tư bất động sản.


9. Learn the 'Secrets' of Other Investors
As Lenin once said, "Study, study, and keep studying." This concept is equally applicable to learning the 'secrets' of other real estate investors.
Successful real estate investors always have their own philosophies, processes, and secret formulas. These are not acquired overnight; they are the result of research, learning, and experiencing both failure and success before they can be distilled into effective methods. Therefore, a beginner real estate investor can save significant time and effort by learning these principles before starting their journey.


10. Learn how to avoid risks
When you start investing in real estate, it's crucial to learn how to handle risks. Since the amounts of money involved in this market are substantial, it's necessary to assess each situation carefully and acquire the knowledge to minimize risks to the lowest possible level before making any investment. Risk is inherent in any field, not just real estate. That's why knowing how to avoid risks should always be a top priority before committing your funds.
Many first-time real estate investors often follow the crowd, driven by herd mentality. As a result, they lack guidance on how to identify and mitigate potential risks before making an investment.
