In the chaotic real estate market, the key to successful investment lies in the forest!
Successful real estate investment principles, perfected through 12 years of experience and failure.

The real estate market is in chaos.
Looking back at the market situation since 2008, everyone was interested in real estate investment during the boom, and no one was interested during the recession.
However, the people who have made truly successful investments and made huge profits are those who have invested according to their own standards even during recessions.
So how can you develop your own standards? The author of this book focuses on real estate managers who personally examine real estate from various perspectives.
This book is a real estate investment guidebook that contains the successes and failures experienced over 12 years of real estate investment, as well as the know-how acquired while working in every region of the country for 5 years.

In fact, real estate is one of the most expensive purchases we make in life, yet we tend to be less careful when choosing things than when buying things or choosing travel products.
Additionally, because there are limitations to being confined to the region where you were born and raised, it is easy to miss opportunities to invest in other regions.
Forestry is a practical way to increase the success rate of real estate investments and expand the scope of your investments.
If you manage your forestry systematically, you can make efficient and reasonable investments in a short period of time.
Let's win the chaotic real estate market with this practical real estate investment book that teaches you the know-how to invest without losing money.

While I don't have any flashy success stories or dramatic tales of making huge profits with little money, I've tried to at least share how to make a truly foolproof real estate investment that will help you grow without losing your money.
In particular, he passed on all the know-how he had learned and experienced firsthand while working, so that people would not be frustrated and have a hard time like me in the past.
I hope this helps the millions of office workers who have shed tears thinking that the world is unfair.

Everyone wants to be rich and everyone wants to make a lot of money in real estate.
But if you can't get beyond the limits of where you live, you can't make a lot of money in real estate anymore.
In the past, when South Korea was a developing country, profits increased significantly just by managing real estate in the area where I lived well.
But now, the pace of development has slowed down and the population is not growing explosively.
We have entered an era where selective and effective investments can bring about good results.
In this situation, to make a smart real estate investment, you need to make an effort to move beyond the confines of your area, or at least to the best area in your area.

These days, with the development of online distribution, I often get the feeling that supermarkets and other shopping malls are not what they used to be.
However, no matter how fast the delivery is, I can't always receive the items or services I need in real time, and there are quite often times when I need to conveniently use something that is difficult to get online near where I live.
So, having these amenities, public transportation, and medical services close to your residence is bound to make it a desirable place to live.
By looking at these things and judging investment targets, you can avoid investment failures like the two cases above.

I know how difficult it is for a human being to break away from familiarity and go somewhere new.
But if you have the drive to make money and don't want your family and children to spend a significant portion of their lives on the road like I have, then buying a home, the biggest investment of your life, is the one you should put the most effort and time into.
Otherwise, my life and my family's life would still be the same.

Since forestry is a process of directly understanding the surrounding environment on site, there is no need to look at it in too much detail, but it should not be looked at too roughly either.
It may feel unfamiliar at first because it's been so long since you've done it, or because you haven't done it before, but you'll get used to it quickly and it won't be difficult.
However, you can't just go out and do it, so if you learn the forestry process and methods through a map or the web and put them into practice, you can use your time, energy, and even money efficiently.
Now, let's take a step-by-step look at how to do forestry.

It was difficult for me to do the forestry work alone.
I was able to get this far thanks to the help of many colleagues I met at real estate meetings.
Of course, with the endless schedule of forestry work, everyone was left alone when the national forestry work was finished due to their own circumstances.
Fortunately, after about two years of living alone, it wasn't that difficult to go out at dawn and wander around alone.
The reason I wrote this book is that, even if I were to have to do it alone because no one else could be with me, I hoped that you would not have to shed the countless sweat and tears I shed alone.

To summarize, in order to become accustomed to walking, it is very important to figure out the range of walking you can do in a day without disrupting your daily routine, and to make it a natural habit by getting your body used to it.
And I should be able to use the map to get where I want to go.
That is, rather than just following the map, set the direction you want and use the map as a compass.
You might be wondering what they mean when they tell you to draw a forest route on a map and walk along it.

The reason for looking at the composition of commercial areas in this way is that if there is a large elderly population, housing transactions and population movement do not occur actively.
Because there are many young people and families of three or more with young children, there is a lot of demand to move to a higher-end area and a larger space than where they currently live, so these places are valuable as investments.
It might be a good idea to look at the commercial structure of the area we live in and compare it to neighboring neighborhoods to make an objective value judgment.

In the beginning of my studies, I learned and thought that if I invested small amounts of money in various areas each time I increased my forest area, I would quickly make a lot of money.
But the more I moved, the more my thoughts changed, and I think I learned about life through the forestry.
Personally, it was a difficult process that took a lot of time, effort, and money, and it is still ongoing, but I think it is an unforgettable journey and an experience that has given me goals for the future.
By meeting countless people and sharing their concerns, I was able to learn that real estate is perhaps the most inseparable element in human life.
I realized that becoming wealthy is a lifelong process that requires studying, investing, patience, and perseverance over a long period of time.
