When you started, were you like “good lord this is too much!”

I’m in year 1—I have been eyeballing RE for years though. I have recently been reading a RE book every 7-10 days and man, have you ever been like “THIS IS A LOT OF INFO!!”

I want to do this, and I do believe RE can and will be apart of my life and retirement plan! But man, starting out, how do you get over the analysis paralysis and the insane fear of screwing up the first deal to the point where you wish you didn’t do it?

Do you buy a turnkey? Do you do a fixer? I have no experience with rehab. How’d YOU get the confidence to jump?
