How can you expect to be successful investing in real estate locally if you don’t know your local market?
It’s great to know the overall principles and processes that make for smart real estate investing. But they don’t apply across the board in every market simply because each market has its own unique traits. When John asked his guest, Barbara Grassey what she advises new real estate operators and investors she didn’t hesitate: Take the time to learn your local market.
Locally-based knowledge will serve you in ways that go beyond what a general knowledge about real estate investing is able to do. If you’ll take the time to listen to this episode you’ll learn how Barbara’s advice can be applied and the powerful difference it can make.

Local real estate investors need ways to position themselves as experts in the market. Here is a great idea from a professional
Part of the amazing skill set Barbara Grassey brings to this conversation with John is years of experience ghostwriting training manuals and other resources for the real estate market. She still helps REI professionals create great resources to inform and educate students and investors alike.
One of her favorite tactics when it comes to the creation of tools that position her clients as experts in their markets is what she calls “Mini-books.” She came up with the idea because of the resistance she often feels from those who are considering a full-length book as an authority-builder. It is a long and hard process, so given the ease of digital publishing, why not make a shorter book that’s more to the point and easier to produce? It’s proved to be a powerful tool that anyone can create. Learn more from Barbara’s extensive experience as an author, real estate investor, and RIA leader, on this episode of Target Market Insights.
