Real Estate Investing Newbie

[Will Schafer]

Hey everyone,

I am totally new to the real estate investing game. I have been listening to podcasts and watching videos and studying it for about a year now and I feel I am prepared to begin making my first moves and buying my first property. I have a rough idea about how I want to start and how much money I want to have saved, but I was hoping to hear from some others about their first purchase, how much they saved before-hand, any hidden obstacles, etc..

Thanks all!
