Brand new and overwhelmed
Hello! I have become very interested in real estate investing but I'm stuck in the analysis paralysis phase. So many properties and so hard to know what's a good one! I think I want to house hack for my first place but multi-plexes are hard to come by. I got pre-approved for a loan and I've talked to a couple of real estate agents but still just feeling overwhelmed and kinda scared to buy my first place. Any help appreciated!

@Christian Smith - For getting over the analysis paralysis, there are a few things that you can do:
1. Surround yourself with people who are doing exactly what you want to do. You'll see that they are successful and so can you be.
2. Educate yourself. Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds action. Action is the cure to analysis paralysis.
3. Build a team of people that know what you want to do. Whether that be a house hack or invest traditionally.
