Your time on this social media site will be well spent.
You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.
Whether you pursue, wholesale, rehab & fIip or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.
The bottom line is that you must take action to start.
Don't get bogged down with analysis paralysis. You must take risks, but, ensure that they are calculated risks.
