In Chai Harjo's second book, Down-to-Earth CANADIAN Real Estate Success: Believing in Yourself and Achieving Your Goals, the author applies what he's learned over the course of the last decade in the real estate business, to answering the larger questions that investors (and anyone else) need to be asking. Questions such as, how can I improve not just my investing business, but myself in general? How can I make the types of invaluable connections that will help me throughout the course of my life? How can I truly come to discover the work/life balance that seems to elude so many? Harjo takes a good long look at what happens when you have dreams and when you long for the investor's life style and yet run up against a wall of doubt from family, friends, and co-workers. How do you persevere when so many people are unsure of whether or not you can make a go of it? At the heart of his second book is how to believe in yourself and keep going even in the face of those who would question your capacity to do so. Fear is common. It's a natural human response to the unknown. For those who haven't been involved in real estate before, or even for those who have, there are moments when fear creeps in and tries to undermine your best efforts. Harjo's message is to not run from fear but to use it to your advantage and turn it into something productive. The world of real estate investing can be tough, but it is manageable. In fact, it is a world in which, with a lot of heart and a lot of spirit, you can succeed. But one needs to think practically and have realistic expectations. Harjo's down-to earth approach is made evident in Chapter 2, Testing the Real Estate Waters. Where others may be tempted to jump right in, enticed by get-rich-quick schemes, Harjo prefers a more conservative, step-by-step approach. Getting comfortable with the investing landscape is critical and there are a few ways you can do this. For instance, you might start by renting out the finished basement apartment in your own home. Tiptoeing into the water as opposed to diving in head first could mean the difference between success and failure. Readers also see the author's practical perspective on full display in the chapters which tend to focus on life questions as they intersect with his investment journey. In Chapter 10, aptly titled Living Simply, Living Smartly, the author recounts an endearing and yet highly practical exchange with his daughter regarding the cost of rice at a Chinese restaurant versus that of cooking it at home. During their conversation, he manages to deliver an important lesson in economics regarding concepts such as overhead and the cost of doing business. We actually see a lot more of Harjo's family life on display in this second book as he guides readers into the day-to-day realities of someone who's genuinely made a go of real estate investing while still maintaining a full-time job. Down-to-Earth CANADIAN Real Estate Success: Believing in Yourself and Achieving Your Goals, is a guide for those eager to explore the world of Canada-specific investing and is also an inspirational account of those who've already invested in Canadian real estate including the practical experiences they've gone through. With this second book, Harjo has emerged onto the scene as more than just an IT guy turned landlord. He is someone who has thought through his processes very carefully and who has reflected on the lessons he's learned through the years, and how he could best put them to use. Finally, he is someone who, more than anything, has a passion for sharing his knowledge, expertise, and views on how life and real estate really do come together in the end.
