Gutsiest thing you did starting out in REI?

What was the "gutsiest" thing you did to finally take the plunge into REI?

For me, I unexpectedly lost my job last year and decided to go all-in by investing over 100% of my savings into my first BRRRR. The purchase was also done site-unseen. That was a scary but exciting time! Now I'm working on my 20th door and still growing.

I'd love to hear your stories, and I'm sure they will help motivate others who are afraid of stepping outside of their comfort zone.
