Medicine wanted for REI virus

Hello BP members, I was actually content with my life prior to contracting this "REI virus." My wife and I have good stable jobs. Her student loans were take care off. Mine is taken care off as long as I stay with my current employer another four years. We bought a new house two years ago. Our daughter struggled with health problems initially but now healthy. We were set! That is... until I found out about biggerpockets, REI, and my desire for financial freedom from our w-2s. The daily deal mls searching and reading about other strategies to invest for passive income is causing some undesirable stress in my life. Does anyone feel this way? I've read that many BP members had taken half a year or even much longer to just find the right deals. For now, I've decided to slow down a bit and take my time. When the time comes it will come. Thanks for reading. HN

Most people suffer from this (I think). it's fun to buy houses, the more I buy, the more antsy I get.

I bought the last one before I knew how I could pay for it, just got too excited.

You'll never feel "ready", like you probably didn't feel ready when you had your daughter. you just have to put a blindfold on and sign for the mortgage ;)
