Fighting Fear with Education
Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie to the world of real estate investing. I've been consuming FI-related content, including BiggerPockets Money, but I've always thought of myself as someone who would do the safe and easy path of index fund investing. Lately, however, I've become interested in the idea of real estate investing. I've purchased a primary residence but have no experience with real estate investing.
I'm someone who likes a plan and feels best when educated. Besides listening to the main BiggerPockets podcast (I just subscribed), what content (books, webinars, podcasts, checklists) helped other scared newbies feel ready to take the plunge?
Thanks so much!
