BiggerPockets is holding me back. I QUIT!

[David Bardwell]

That’s right. BiggerPockets is keeping me from getting my next deal. If you’re reading this, and certainly if you reply, you’re guilty by association! BP and all the new resources I’ve uncovered as a result are contributing to my analysis paralysis.

Ever since I discovered BP 9 months ago, I’ve been binging on real estate education. Easily 100s of hours of various podcasts, half a dozen books, and countless hours in the forums. Flipping, wholesaling, apartments, lenders, realtors, note investing, short term rentals, mentors, coaches, selling financing, private money, hard money, syndicators, REITs… Enough already.

I know, it’s not really BP’s fault--or yours. And actually, I’m a lot smarter than I was 9 months ago. That’s the good thing. But the flip side of that coin is that I also have a better idea of how much I DON’T know--And I think that’s what’s been holding me back.

SO I QUIT! I’m quitting BiggerPockets until I have my next deal under contract.

I’ll probably continue to answer direct messages, but no more forums, no more podcasts, no more books, until I have another deal to share. I don’t know if it will be a week or 3 months till I return. This public declaration is really for me. But I’m hoping to see a few comments that may be helpful to others who might be experiencing the same thing.

HOW HAVE YOU DEALT WITH ANALYSIS PARALYSIS?

Bye for now!
