The 9 best quotes about property investing
Property investing is not always easy and it can take some time before you see any great returns, because of this it’s easy to get discouraged and lose focus over the long term.
Even in my short investing journey to date, there’s been plenty of sacrifices I’ve had to make, and plenty of times I wanted to throw in the towel.
I constantly find that I have to keep selling to myself that building a property portfolio is the right thing to do and that the payoff at the end will be significantly greater than any short-term sacrifice I’m making now. A quick and punchy way to remind me of this and to reaffirm that property investing is the best form of accumulating wealth over the long term is by reading quotes from successful investors whenever I need that extra kick of motivation.
It’s worked for me so I wanted to share with you my top nine favourite real estate investing quotes that keeps me sold on this game and focused on my goals.
