You know you're a new investor when...
I am a new investor and I feel like I'm turning into a whole new being. So it made me think about those fun memes that show you're really in the "IN" crowd - so I'm throwing it out to the community.

(Here are my top answers)
- your have to resist the urge to think every cheap house in in the MidWest is a "good" deal
- you are still working out where you'll come up with the money to invest (could be your own, but you know other people's money is good, too)
- you start seeing "potential" in every house you drive past as you go about your day.
So, how would you respond?
