Recent college graduate looking to start real estate portfolio

[Drake Moser]

Hello BP community,

Just a quick background on me; I have just graduated from college and will be moving to Des Moines to begin work and hopefully my real estate investment portfolio. 

I have listened to countless BP podcasts, watched hundreds of BP YouTube videos, and read several real estate books. Although I feel that my knowledge on real estate investing is sufficient, I feel that I do not have enough resources to go ahead with my first property. 

I am just wondering how people combatted this feeling. Was there someone that mentored you (which I would love to have) or did you just have to go ahead and go against what your mind was telling you.

Thank you for your time!!
