When do you know when ready to take on first property.

[Carlos Kopszywa]

I have been reading BP forums non stop, listening to podcast, reading books, talking to others. I haven't had the chance to attend a reia meeting,but I will Feb 2nd.  I still don't know if I'm quite ready financially. Meaning I don't have a huge savings.(about 2000). How do I know when it's time to take the leap?  What is best way for me to get started being that I have about 2000 to start with?
