Have you given up on your REI goals ?

I like to start expressing my gratitude for all of you who have responded all my queries, participated on my posts by sharing your comments or suggestions.  Thank you ! 

Going back to my subject....

This is the question I onten ask those paralyzed by analyzing...... Have you given up ? 

I typically receive a huge list of brick walled answers which are fostered by our human nature of seeking protection and survival. Our brain is pre wired by our instincts that are about 1500 years old hence, is up to us to cut the wires and force ourselves out of the comfort zone. 

I am not promoting impulsivity but rather asking you to pull the trigger when economic fundamentals and financial analysis make sense.

Once you are bitten by the REI bug, it requires focus and steady fast work towards knowledge. Only knowledge will provide assurances of a deal properly done and peace of mind when you place your head on the pillow.

Looking back, I read several books, watched several YouTube videos, podcasts and webinars from @BiggerPockets .com and 3 months later I was comfortable to buy our first rental property. 

Trust the numbers ! Math doesn’t lie. (But don’t play with the number to force them to work) 

I would love to hear now or in the future that you are making progress towards your goals.

Cheers

Edison
