Learning to be patient and saving $$

I am not sure if it's just me, but I feel like when I am reading forums/discussions on BP I feel like it's a GREAT book that I don't want to put down! I'm so eager to learn, get started, enjoy the different opinions, and thankful for the willingness to help newbies. If there is ONE common thread amongst the different categories, it would be "Learn from more experienced investors' past mistakes". Since making the decision that I am ready to jump in and make my first purchase last month, I have found 2 amazing deals. However, as I asked questions and guidance on how best to move forward, I uncovered questions that could have potentially cost me my entire investment. Did I want to make the deals? Yes!! Did I? No. I had to keep reminding myself to learn from others and not be a person to post a horror story. So thank you BP, and all of you that take the time from your own busy walk of life to share with us newbies to help us be successful.
