Taking Action

Hey BP!

Looking for some advice on how to take action. Seems so simple when I think about it. Just get out there and try something right?

I've been thinking about investing for a few months now. I have read a ton of books and listened to a number podcasts. I have also joined the local rei club. 

I still find myself just spinning my wheels on where or how to start. Initially I wanted to start out wholesaling. Seemed like a great strategy at first pitched from all the guru info out there. After reading more info here seems like it may not be the best option to go with. Now thinking about doing some mobile home investing. Any thoughts on the Colorado mobile home market?

I do not have a lot of capital but so have a little saved up.

I would love to hear anyone's thought or stories on how they got started

Thanks

@Travis Beehler,

Thanks for the mention, I am returning the favor.

Another comment you may have heard, or will hear is "That is hard to get into", or maybe even. "That is hard to do".

I like to challenge those people by replying, "hard compared to what?"

This reply will shut most anyone down because they will have a blank stare on their face. What they are saying is they are comparing RE "investing" to doing NOTHING, as they are most likely doing. And yes, RE is hard compared to doing NOTHING all day.
