Curious about average time frame going from just thinking about RE to first purchase

[Account Closed]

Just wondering how long it took for you you purchase your first property 

   For me  it started while flipping channels on dish one night and a guru make a zillion bucks overnight Infomercial was on (I didn't buy the zillionaire program)but I thought couldn't be to hard so I looked  online at property's  on land watch and afew other places .

Next day  talked about it with my wife  then drove and checked out property's and had lots of phone conversations  (found that many realtors don't bother to return calls)

and many of the FSBO must have gold nuggets and lots of valuable gems scattered barely under the surface of their lots going by prices.

   I had a vague idea of actual property values. Lol     72 days later paid cash
