You may wonder why you need to have the right mindset in order to buy a house. Well, let me tell you a story about Fred…
Fred grew up living with his family in a series of rented apartments. He moved out when he went to college and lived in the dorm.
After graduating Fred found himself a cozy apartment to rent. For many years he moved from one apartment to the next.
Fred had a decent job and earned a respectable income, but at the end of each month he had just enough to pay the rent. Fred got occasional bonuses at work, but spent them quickly on extravagant luxuries.
After many years of apartment living Fred started to think about buying a home, but Fred had the mentality of an apartment dweller.
He looked at many houses for sale, but he always found some reason why each one wasn’t right for him. He thought he wouldn’t have time to take care of the yard or the pool. Or it was poorly maintained and he didn’t know how to fix it up. But in most cases he thought he just couldn’t afford to buy a house.
Fred never found a house that he believed he could afford, although he made more money than many families who bought houses in his neighborhood. He convinced himself that he was destined to be a renter.
Fred could have easily afforded a house if he had managed to have the right mindset. For that matter, many incredible goals are possible with the right mind set. So how can you have the mindset to get the house of your dreams? Read More
