Ep. 7 The Power of Mindset in Raising Capital with Ruben Greth Wealth Science

If you're planning to be a real estate investor, learning how to pivot and adapt are two things that will serve you really well. Especially because deals and relationships don't always end up a success. At times they do end; know that things happen for you and not to you. Ruben is a testament to that. In this episode of Wealth Science Podcast, Ruben Greth shares the story of how he bounced back to real estate after a split of partnership, the reasons why multifamily holds so much potential, what characteristics you need to champion as a syndicator, the two types of appeal to investing, and so much more.
Identify the common limiting beliefs that may be stopping your growth as an investor in this episode of Wealth Science with guest Ruben Greth!
There's No One-way to It
For Ruben, even experts in marketing and social media can't solely shortcut their way around real estate investing. But it's not just them who can't do that — everyone can't. No matter what field you come from, real estate will be just as much of a relationship business to you as it is for everybody else. If there are two skills real estate requires the most, based on Ruben's experience, it's your ability to adapt and pivot. When you get yourself accustomed to those, the way you connect to and connect with people comes next. Without these, luck will hardly ever work.
Simply relying on tools to do most of the job as an investor for you gets nowhere. That's because a lot of what moves investing stems from trust and the relationships you have. People gauge how they can trust you through different factors. If you think some software can achieve that – you might just get disappointed. In real estate, people need to see you at meetups, conferences, social media, and sometimes even on podcasts. Your communication also makes a huge difference. With these, people get to judge whether you're going to be consistent and committed as a potential partner in the future.
