As an experienced Investors what do you wish you knew then.

[Mark White]

Hey POCKETEERS I am a very new prospective investor. I have analyzed a few properties listed on Realtor and Zillow,  made one offer that was counter-offered then I declined, drove around my neighborhood looking for distressed properties, looked at multifamily properties, looked at single family properties, gotten upset at how expensive even distressed properties in my area are, wish I had a partner to do my first deal with and show me the ropes. I don't know if anyone else went through this but I can tell you its not a great feeling. So my question to you is what is the most important thing you wish you did or knew before buying your first property?

[Adam C Harris]

The one thing I wish I would have known or done is a toss up between starting sooner and preventing analysis paralysis for the first property.
