Times Are Good
You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about when you see that headline. But I’m talking about what’s happening today, now, in the U.S. I say that times are good because there are still plenty of opportunities out there. In fact I’m a little tired of the negative cloud we seem to be under these days.
Difficult doesn’t necessarily mean negative. Challenging doesn’t have to be negative either. There are ups and downs in every aspect of life and business, and as someone who has survived some major financial upheavals and losses, I think I have some insights to share with you about this.
First of all, things usually manage to even themselves out. Real estate is known for having ‘bubbles’, good markets, bad markets, ups, downs, you name it. But many people, including myself, have endured these cycles and still managed to make a lot of money.
What’s the key? Looking for the upside. Looking for the opportunities that are out there no matter what’s going on.
It’s a fact that when I first entered the real estate business in New York City, the market was terrible. Everyone told me it was the wrong time to get started. Know what? I wanted to go into real estate then and so I did, and look what’s happened. But if I’d listened to those people back in the 1970’s when times were ‘terrible’ I wouldn’t be where I am today. One of my detractors back then, a big New York real estate guy, actually told a friend of mine that “Trump has a great line of s--t, but where are the bricks and mortar?” My answer today is that I am now much bigger in real estate than the other guy. To me, it was a time of great opportunity.
So that’s why I’m saying that times are good. Look at it that way and I’ll bet you’ll find a way to not only survive, but to make a difference.
