I don’t have any money”, Overcome the #1 Excuse to Invest in Real Estate

What I see over and over again—the number one excuse I hear—is:
“I don’t have money to invest in real estate.”

Does anybody else have this belief?
That you can’t get started in real estate because you don’t have the money?

I hear it all the time. It’s by far the most common reason people give for not getting started.

And honestly, it makes me chuckle a bit—not in a mean way—but because that’s exactly why I got into real estate in the first place:
I didn’t have any money either.

Back then, I walked into a Barnes & Noble—yeah, remember those?
I know some of the younger folks may not know what that is, but we used to go to actual bookstores and pick up real, physical books. No downloads, no PDFs—just shelves of books you could flip through.

And I kept seeing titles like:

• “How to Buy Real Estate with No Money Down”
• Robert Allen’s book
• Other guides on no-money-down strategies

I thought, “Sign me up—I’m broke!”
I couldn’t even afford to buy the book at the time. I’d sit there in the store and read as much as I could. (Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little… but not much.)

The point is:
That belief—that you need money to start—is just a mindset block.
Real estate is one of the few opportunities available to anyone—whether you have money or not.
And that’s what drew me in.

So, if you’re sitting there stuck in that mindset, just know:
You’re not alone—you can move past it.
