The worst time to start is never

Bryan Metz

Hello BP!

First post here- newbie investor who is itching to buy my first rental property. 

However, I am almost immobilized by the price of housing and the unknowns of the current market. I believe that the most important thing to do is to get started but I am having trouble determining a first move in the current environment. 

I have some capital to get started but am afraid of dropping a ton into a hyper expensive turnkey property that is unlikely to cash flow well, if at all. I would love to BRRRR in order to scale more quickly but am struggling to find deals that make sense.

My question I guess is-

How do you take your first step when everything looks like a horrible move?
