Albert Einstein once said – “Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.” Is it possible that there is someone out there who has never heard of the American Dream? Unlikely! In fact, I feel strongly that home ownership is still at the core of our aspirations. Not only do we continue to dream of it, most of us are even still willing to work to own a house. Recently however, many Americans have seen their dream fade away, and many are left wondering – What happened to the American Dream?

I would like to address that for a moment. The answer, of course, is absolutely not! Yes, times might be tough for a lot of people right now – and yes, a lot of Americans are losing their homes for one reason or another. However, does that mean we should just throw in the towel and admit defeat? That is definitely NOT the American way. We are a people who are at their best during times of trial and adversity.

As an Investor in Real Estate, I actually see struggling people everyday who are in need of help. I wish I could solve everyone’s problems, but I can’t. I cannot prevent each foreclosure. However, I am able to assist families in other ways with their housing needs. Sometimes I can negotiate a Short Sale between the owner and the mortgage company. I can also help with loan modifications if the owners qualify, and sometimes I can assist in finding more affordable housing.

So, what is my point? That many times, where there is adversity, there is usually opportunity. It is no secret that a lot of money can be made in todays Real Estate market. However, I would like for everyone to remember Albert Einstein’s quote above, before they decide to just make money.

It is far better to be a person of value by adding value to other peoples lives. By living in service to others, we elevate our own value. In this way, we need not seek out “Success”, for it will find us on its own.
