G’Day everyone!
It’s Engelo Rumora here, your favorite Australian and the Real Estate Dingo.
I’m actually liking these new Aussie blog intros so I thought I would continue them — especially since I get bugged by many on a daily basis about “Ohhh my, I love your accent. Where are you from and what are you doing here?” while I’m trying to get business done. Sorry, but payback is bliss.
As the saying goes, “Success comes from doing things differently,” so try to be different in everything you do and don’t just be another white sheep like most folks are.
One of our awesome investors from California called me last week and said, “Engelo, do you know that I have to trust you 1,000% percent with everything that goes on with my properties in Ohio? Also, what do I do if one day you decide to pack your bags and move back to Australia while leaving me hanging with my Ohio rental portfolio?” Jokingly, I said that if that should ever happen, he should sell every property and move with me.
I also mentioned to him that I connect with a ton of other investors on a daily basis, and I always stress to every single one of them that they should focus more on establishing trust and relationships with key people on the ground before looking into anything else. Trust is built over time and not over one phone call, email or meeting. Make sure that the people you are looking at working with always have your best interest at heart and possess these 4 key traits: Honesty, Loyalty, No Greed & Respect.
