Dr. Simon Ramo, a legendary American engineer wrote a book in 1970 about, of all things, tennis, titled Extraordinary Tennis for the Ordinary Player.
The engineer in him noticed that the game of tennis involves two games – one is played at the professional level and the other is played at the weekend warrior level.
Now, that’s not particularly brilliant, but the conclusion he reached from his observation is.
After extensive analysis, Ramo concluded that professional tennis players win points while amateur players lose points.
In other words, for professionals, most points are won by the pro hitting a spectacular winning shot that is just out of reach of their opponent (a “winner’s game”), while amateurs typically lose points by making an unforced error (a “loser’s game”).
Writing in a famous 1975 Financial Analysts Journal article, noted investment analyst Charles Ellis extended Ramo’s tennis concept to the investment business.
Ellis said investing had flipped from being a winner’s game to a loser’s game.
He meant that to succeed at investing you need to focus on making fewer avoidable errors as opposed to making spectacular winning investments.
Now making fewer avoidable errors is a worthy goal at any time, but it is critical in today’s changing markets.
What has all this got to do with property?
The best way to explain this is that during property booms it’s easy to look smart.
Rising values cover up many mistakes.
But today the property markets around Australia are very fragmented and even those that performed strongly over the last year or two are unlikely to exhibit the same levels of growth in the future.
That reminds me of 2 of Warren Buffet’s famous sayings:
- “A rising tide lifts all ships” and…
- “When the tide is out you can see who is swimming naked.”
Yet some investors are doing very well
While some investors are floundering, at the same time other, more strategic investors, those who understand the importance of correct timing, proper asset selection and smart financing using financial buffers, are heading towards financial independence through smart property investing.
These successful investors are not trying to get rich quick.
Instead they focus on making fewer avoidable errors by using proven trusted property investment systems.
On the other hand at the same stage of the cycle other, more strategic, investors, those who understand the importance of correct timing, proper asset selection and smart financing using financial buffers to see them through the lean years, are still heading towards financial independence through smart property investing.
The 4 types of knowledge you need to seize control of your financial future:
To make the most of our current schizophrenic economic and property markets strategic property investors will need:
- Unbiased economic insights
- Education based on proven property investing principles and strategies
- Guidance from expert investors who have been there, done that
- Insider information so you can spot market trends that are “hidden” from the average investor
That is why it is critical to learn from experienced and successful property investors, from someone who has already achieved what you want to achieve and has retained their wealth in the long term.
I also see it as a great time to not just wait for the market to do its thing, but to actively “manufacture growth” by getting involved in property renovations and development and then holding on to your properties in the long term and enjoying the capital growth.
And that’s precisely the topics we’ll be teaching at my annual Property Renovations and Development workshop on October 21st and 22nd.
NOW I’M NOT SAYING I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
In fact I don’t even know all the questions, but I have gathered the best faculty of experts I could – yes people who pass my definition of experts above and I’ve put them all in the same room for 2 days to teach you advanced property strategies at my 2 day training in October – my annual Property Renovations & Development Workshop.
Get all the details and reserve one of the early bird spots because its only a few weeks away.
By the way – we’ve never offered this annual seminar at a cheaper investment.
It’s likely that it will cost you a lot, lot less that you expect even though it’s a training – NOT a sales event.
