Yes, it is the World Cup season and there are lessons to be learned from the games- especially as regards investing. While we are excited about Nigeria making it to the world cup and not so happy about losing our first game- we stay patriotic & positive for better results in the future.

Have you made any losses in your investments in the past? You cannot give up now- It’s time to review & play the next game with superior knowledge, skills, focus & positivity.

We can only imagine how Lionel Messi felt losing that penalty kick; we are happy an African country finally got a first goal of the tournament yesterday even though they eventually lost the match largely due to losing focus just as they got into extra time- all these twists and turns make for a good investment analogy.

Are you an astute investor with years of experience & returns or are you still behind the ball, contemplating what, where and how to invest? This week we bring you 4 key elements to successful investing. Remember even the world’s best players like Lionel Messi with three consecutive FIFA Ballons d’Or, including an unprecedented fourth as well as Barcelona’s all-time top scorer can still lose a penalty kick.

What are the factors to consider before investing or while you’re in an investment cycle already;

Stance

Your (financial) standing is very important; before investing it is imperative that you conduct a detailed evaluation of your finances to make sure you are prepared to see the investment opportunity through. Real Estate opportunities abound everywhere you look, from Social Media to Billboards & even flyers in traffic. A good investor does not commit to any opportunity until a careful review of the investment has been done vis-à-vis your capability. That way you do not to start what you cannot finish.

Sight & focus

Like a good footballer- every investment player must KEEP THEIR EYE ON THE BALL. You can not afford to have too many things in your sight at the same time. You must imagine every shot you take will determine the outcome of your investment. Keep your ball (investment) in sight. Hold it by yourself & place it in the right spot; Streamline your options with your vision (& outcome) in mind. If you are uncertain seek the expertise of real estate professionals in making this all-important decision.

Shoot

Or like we like coined it this June- #JustDoIt. After a careful review of your financial standing as well as an expert evaluation of your investment options. JUST DO IT! GOT FOR IT! Take the dive! Do not be crippled by analysis paralysis. It doesn’t serve you in any way to stand behind the ball & not take the shot. Remember you will miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! There is no time as good as now!

SCORE & WIN

Always remember the objective of your investment- to make good profit. We understand from experience that the most important question every investor will ask is “What’s in It for me?” this is why at Fine & Country we deploy an adept process in choosing our real estate opportunities to ensure that our investors score every time! But not just score, we are committed to our investors- WINNING! i.e. we do not believe in marginal profit- we believe in exponential returns. So, whatever you do- make sure you score & win!
