The Main Objective

As Matt and I sit down every Sunday afternoon to plan our week, we have 2 main objectives in mind. 

1. Provide high quality Real Estate investment opportunities

2. Educate and provide those opportunities to Young Professionals

That’s it… That’s what fires us up. We know how hard it is to compete in this job market, we know how hard it is to get ahead today and how unattainable certain life events seem. There are a few life events that most people have in their lives that cost a fortune.

1. Wedding

2. House

3. Children

4. Retirement

I could probably come up with several more, but these are the big ticket items. 

The reality is, previous generations have put us in a tough spot. For the most part, generations before us hurt future generations by hoping to make their lives comfortable without much regard of future prosperity. Programs implimented for their retirement that we fund. Inflation running rampant. Housing so unaffordable that if you want a decent sized home with some land, you better move to the middle of the country. But what is complaining going to do? Not a thing… The damage has been done. The only thing we can do now is create a roadmap to succeed in today’s world.

How do we create that roadmap? 

Plan, educate, work hard and make smart moves. Now let's unpack those four items.

1. Plan - You need to envision what you want. What is success to you? Where do you want to be and at what age? Where will you live? What size house do you want? Kids? When do you want to retire? What does retirement look like?

   1. These are all questions to ask yourself as you begin your journey.

   2. Answering these questions will help you map out your future.

   3. You don’t need to have every answer today

   4. Your answers may change, but at least you are starting down a path.

2. Educate - Today, there’s more free attainable information out there than ever before. You have 0 excuses for not educating yourself. Whether that’s how to make more money, how to invest your money, how to achieve your goals, or even find out who the Tanzanian High Commissioner in the U.K. is… It’s all there.

3. Hard work - As we are all well aware, in whatever you want to accomplish you must work hard. It’s inevitable, but YOU don’t have to do all the hard work. Most people think they need to work 100 hours a day to reach their financial goals, but if you figure out how your money can work hard for you, you’ll make more than you imagined.

4. Make Smart Moves - The first time you make a move, it’s difficult to know if it’s a “smart” move. One way to give yourself the best chance of making a smart move is if you complete 1-3 above.

Reading this seems great, it might move your emotions a bit. Whether it fires you up to create that roadmap, makes you roll your eyes because you’ve heard it a thousand times and aren’t willing to actually do it, or you’ve done it and it doesn’t seem to be working. In which case execution and patience are needed. 

I ask that you excuse the harsh tone so far, but it needs to be said and we need to do something about it. That is EXACTLY why Matt and I have started this Real Estate investment company. We are doing something about it, our mission is to help 500+ Young Professionals take control of their futures through education and investing in Real Estate. Real Estate has helped my family get ahead for generations, Matt is the first generation in his family to benefit from investing in Real Estate and we are determined to help as many people see what we see.

I’ve heard every reason in the book as to why NOT to invest in Real Estate “too much work” “not profitable enough” “take’s way too long” “not passive enough” “too much money”. The reality is, you weren’t taught how Real Estate works and its many benefits growing up, so it scares you. Or it scared your parents and they always advised against it. In my opinion, you can’t afford NOT to at least learn about the benefits of Real Estate.

What I will end you with is this… You have time. While life seems short (and it is), 20, 30, 40 years is enough of a runway to achieve WHATEVER you want. Create a roadmap, educate yourself,work hard, make smart moves, be patient, and achieve your goals.

At The Duer Urakami Group, we are here to be your resource and help you achieve your financial goals and it’s our goal to help you and all your friends see how investing in real estate can and will transform your future.
