The Key Habit Of Successful Property Investors
Recently I shared one of my best pieces of property investment advice with our Brisbane Property Networking Group.
It’s not really advice though. At least, not the typical advice you’d find searching the web. It’s actually a habit.
Darren Hardy, founder of Success Magazine once said:

Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.

And this one habit is how I get better.
It helped me succeed in many of my pursuits, and I believe it’s key for achieving success in property investing (or anything else in life for that matter).
Ready to find out what it is?
I made a short video about it (while jogging through the French countryside) where I spilled the beans…

As I explain in the video – if there’s something you want to get good at, you need to train for it regularly and not just when you feel like it!
You need to form a habit to ensure you are consistently taking action to reaching a goal or intended outcome.

One of my mentors always said that if you want the Gold Medal you need to do the work. I reckon we can take that quote a bit further and say you need to do the work consistently.
How to succeed in the face of competition?
Do you reckon there are other property investors out there trying to do the same thing you’re doing? You bet! Do you think they’re going after the same type of properties you’re interested in? Absolutely!
So you need to do more than what the average investor is doing to be ahead of the pack. That means stepping up to the plate on a regular basis.
Let’s say you have a goal to purchase a small lot subdivision project within the next 90 days with the expectation of making $50k profit in the following 90 days.
OK, what’s some of the tasks you need to implement?
- Talk to agents to educate them on what you want
- Visit Open for Inspections
- Crunch numbers
- Put in offers
If you’re serious about finding this property you need to do things consistently.
How would you implement this?
Let’s have a look how you would implement the above 4 tasks consistently:
- Commit to calling 5 agents every week for the next 90 days to discuss the available and upcoming properties that suit your criteria
- Visit 5 Open For Inspections every week for the next 90 days (actually take the time to get in your car and inspect the property to build rapport with that agent)
- For each of those properties you visit each week, run the numbers, document the findings and send the results to the selling agent. (the agent will value your feedback, respect you as a genuine buyer and continue to send you opportunities)
- Submit at least one offer per week to purchase a property that suits your criteria (use the relevant get out clauses)
Whether it’s preparing for a marathon, learning guitar or becoming a better spouse or parent, you need to set up a plan of action that has consistency.
You’ll be amazed at how quickly you progress towards your goal when you start creating a track record you can be proud of.

Awesome post Matt. Just what I needed to hear today, consistency is the key. Small steps to keep me heading forward. Loved the France back drop. Just brilliant!
Thanks for the feedback Loretta. Great to hear my blogpost was timely for you and yes consistency has played a very positive part in my life.. not just in property! I’ll be doing some more videos like this so you’ll get to see even more of the French countryside 🙂
