Cary, NC – September 9, 2015 – Mike Conlon, President and CEO of Affordable Communities Group, LLC (http://www.acgmhc.com) aka the “Main Street Millionaire” has posted a new article on his website entitled, “The Qualities of Successful Real Estate Investors.” For the serious real estate investor, get rich quick schemes don’t hold any interest. As Mike Conlon explains, “Despite the late night ads that once claimed you could make millions easily as a real estate investor, a dose of reality is required to help those serious about investing.”

Mike-ConlonAccording to Conlon, “Real estate is a challenging business. Yes, money, and lots of it can be made in real estate. However the truth is that expertise, planning and focus are absolute prerequisites for anyone interested in a real career and not just a ‘hobby’.”

There is no doubt, as Conlon acknowledges that, “Sometimes it may be relatively easy to experience short-lived profits, though if you want to develop a long-term career as a real estate investor skill, effort and good, consistent habits are mandatory.”

Listing “people skills” at the top of his list, Conlon recommends that real estate investors have a business plan and that they develop a habit of lifelong learning. As Conlon states, “Every real estate market moves through different stages of growth. If you select a niche market such as mobile home communities, single-family homes, or commercial real estate, you’ll need to acquire an in-depth knowledge of your selected market or niche.” He continues adding, “You’ll need to be aware of current trends, changes in consumer spending habits, mortgage rates and the unemployment rate. And, as with any business, you’ll need to stay up to date with the laws, regulations, terminology and trends that form the basis of the real estate investor’s business.” According to Conlon, “Successful real estate investors stay educated and can adapt to regulatory changes and economic trends”

Additionally, Conlon writes, “There is no board of ethics for real estate investors.” He goes on to say, “While there are always some unethical people in every business, most successful real estate investors abide by high ethical standards. Reputation is everything in this people business. And honesty in all dealings is always the best policy.”
