Not a quick-rich get scheme
Many people fail in real estate because they dive in without thinking and planning for it. There are many things that are to be considered before jumping in to invest. Real estate investing takes time to learn.
Bad numbers and analysis
In real estate its all about numbers. Any miscalculations can be devastating especially for new starts. If they fail right in the beginning, they lose hope and eventually fail. Mistakes with number happen when there is faulty or poor research. Investors must always run their numbers by factoring expenditures higher than expected.
Not enough money
Just like all businesses in their infancy, under-capitalization is the vulnerable point. Sometimes this happens if an investor buys too many properties at a time without thinking, with too much debt. An investor must Make sure to have cash reserves for the worst case scenario.
Assumptions
Most investors loose because of overleveraging. Most of the times they assume that at some point in the future (usually years), the building or land purchased would be worth multiple times what they paid.
Investors must keep in mind that its not easy renting a house or flipping it.so when buying rentals make sure that no matter what market statics are rentals have plenty of cashflow and when flipping a house, assume that it will be sold for what it is worth today, not what it might be worth in a year.
Lack of time Management
Many people start real estate investment business as a side job. Mostly they don’t take it seriously. They only give a fraction of time each day to this business .it is not sufficient to learn and implement various new things.so this business can turn out really productive if enough time is given to it.

A manger can only manage things but cannot feel the gain and loss the way an owner/investor can do. Sometime the investors are very sluggish in collecting rent or slack off in screening of the tenants.an investor should give the business required and build a solid team to manage it.
Not enough motivationbold
Investors fail due to the above mentioned two points because they lack something that drives them to move forward after they fail. Without enough motivation investors fail because they stop caring about the failures and don’t learn anything.
Fears: failure/implementationbold
Like in any other business there is a fear of mistakes and failures. Looking at the slow start a already fearful investor sometimes are overwhelmed by feeling of feeling of not doing it right from the beginning.
Coachingbold
Many investors attend seminars and read books on investments in real estate before starting the business. But reading a book and few seminars cannot train the investor to the level that is required before venturing in the market. To be able to properly understand this business a mentor is required.it would not only speed up the learning phase but also helps to avoid countless trials and errors.
There are many more ways to fail in if an investor did not learn from mistakes and gave up without trying again, it’s the real failure.
