Ketan Patel discusses mindset and an overview of syndication in real estate.

Episode Summary

Even though it is the cornerstone to success, mindset is often overlooked. We do not realize how much our limiting beliefs are holding us back from getting started in real estate or taking the next step. Ketan Patel, a pharmacist, turned full-time real estate investor and High-Performance Real Estate Coach, looks to help his clients overcome the thoughts that hold them back so that they can flourish. In this episode, we hear about Ketan's journey from pharmacy to real estate, where he talks about why we need to reframe risk. Ketan explains how individuals struggling with mindset can overcome those obstacles and shares insight for building confidence in real estate investing. Rather than thinking about what we might lose, if we consider what we can gain, taking bold action becomes easier. Ketan shares the innovative way he funded his first deal, and he also talks about multifamily syndication, a great way to passively invest in real estate. The conversation touches on the power of mindset, where Ketan offers insights into how he's worked on his. Ketan shares the value of being grateful for what you have and why you have to find joy beyond the numbers. Ketan truly embodies the idea that mindset matters.

Highlights

"I realized that with real estate, you have a lot of flexibility. You could do a flip, you could partner with someone, invest passively, you could buy a small rental, you don't have to quit your job day one." — Ketan Patel [0:06:45]

"It doesn't really matter what business you do and what your strategies are. At the end of the day, the thoughts, the beliefs, the emotions you have, they determine so much about your success and things like that. Instead of just focusing on the knowledge, the technical aspects, they are important, but they're not as important." — Ketan Patel [0:10:12]

"You can't postpone happiness and joy and everything for the future. I got to start living it now regardless if I have that or not." — Ketan Patel [0:30:15]

"We [pharmacists] don't give ourselves credit of what's really possible for us." — Ketan Patel [0:32:44]
