1% real estate investing tweaks
(Terrible advice)
Hey — Gerald here.
Here’s a piece of real estate investing advice I once heard that set me back for years:
“Just focus on 1% improvements every day, and you’ll see massive results over time.”
Sounds great, right?
Until you realize… it’s (sorta) garbage.
Because here’s the truth:
If you’re making tiny tweaks to the wrong things, those 1% improvements won’t just waste your time — they’ll hold you back.
And I see new real estate investors do this all the time.
They obsess over the wrong details:
Buying another “magic” course they’ll never finish
Associating with people who’ve never closed a deal
Watching YouTube video after video without taking action
These will never create real progress.
In fact, they’ll make you think the whole “small improvements compound over time” idea is a lie.
But here’s the real truth:
1% improvements work—but only if you’re tweaking the right things.
What does that mean? It means focusing on the high-leverage areas—the things that actually drive results in real estate investing.
Taking action – making offers, talking to sellers, and learning from real deals.
Being consistent – this is where you build confidence and momentum.
Association – surrounding yourself with investors who are actually doing deals.
Mentorship – cutting down on years of guesswork and avoiding costly mistakes.
These are the tweaks that actually move the needle.
A 1% improvement here? It leads to bigger profits, more closed deals, and long-term wealth.
Bottom line:
Small tweaks can change everything… but only if you’re tweaking the right things.
