I know this is only human nature and my usual response is to say that when it comes to succeeding in real estate investment there is no real secret as such. Success comes down to being diligent, aware, and applying a number of common sense tactics that are part of the stock-in-trade of every real estate investor.

Timing, of course, is a skill that the savvy real estate investor hones constantly irrespective of the market he is in or the deal he is trying to close and that is what enables those who are experienced to make the most of domestic emergent real estate markets, create powerful reputations and become financially independent.

This is a really important aspect of making money in a domestic emergent real estate market. Get that wrong and you would be wasting a lot of valuable time for relatively poor returns. Get it right and you could make a killing. This is because domestic emergent real estate markets are infinitely attractive to real estate investors and they tend to magnify the ‘band wagon’ effect.

Having said this however and having long thought about what could constitute a ‘secret’ as such there is something that comes close when it comes to looking at how you should work domestic emergent real estate markets.

It is an inevitable part of any industry sector where people go into it for big money to want to know if there is a ‘secret’ to success. Why, for instance, do some people make it and others do not.

Without getting the timing right inexperienced real estate investors run the risk of trying to work in a market which is saturated with their colleagues also trying to close deals which means that supply and demand are beginning to push prices and profit margins downwards and making money becomes harder.

Domestic emergent markets tend to mirror the development curve of a normal real estate market, complete with its peaks and troughs and inevitable plateau in a much shorter time than any normal real estate market. In my workshops and courses I discuss in detail how to identify a domestic emergent market and then how to assess it in order to determine exactly the stage it is at.

As the name suggests a domestic emergent real estate market creates its own micro-economic climate and that is totally at odds with anything that happens to the economy around it. The pressures and opportunities in a market like that are amplified beyond reasonable expectation. Buyers and sellers in such a pressure-cooker market environment work under very small margins for error and the ‘trick’ to succeeding in these conditions, the secret, I suppose, is timing.
