Here is a quick list of mistakes to avoid when investing.
- Not listening to people with more experience than themselves.
It is easy to get carried away and feel like you have it all worked out but there is no need for making the same mistakes as others when you can learn from them. You can at least listen to their views and then chose what you do with the information.
2. Looking at your purchase as personal rather than business.
When it comes to investing, it is completely different than when buying your own dream home. You are trying to make money so you have to look at it as a business decision. For example if you really love a house in the countryside but the market shows they are not good investments then you should not buy it just because you love it.
3. Not having a plan in place.
Problems can arise and the world is changing all the time. You need to at least be open to change and to change plans as problems arise or as the market changes. You need to be flexible.
4. Not using experts.
When dealing with something that you have no experience or don´t know enough it is so important to use experts. This will ensure you don´t make the wrong decision. They can guide you in the right direction and let you know if any investment brings us any red flags that perhaps could be a big loss on your part.
5. Not assessing finances properly.
You need a good idea about how much you have to spend, where you will get finance from if needed. What you will do when a problem arises that you may not have budgeted for.
