Make sure you are being reasonable! We have altered our "plan" over the years because our house type (multi-plex) just didn't work. We did MUCH better with single family homes.
Second the key is to get your foot in the door. Ever sale we have done since the first has been better than the previous. So get started! Don't worry about getting a home run but getting a great first deal. Babysteps make you more over time!
