I’m looking to get started but feel “stuck”
I’m working on my credit and savings but I want to get started, how ? I feel like I should be doing something already....

With anything new, there is always something to do. I just discovered BP in July and have fully committed to learning as much as I can. I have decent credit but not enough capital. Instead of settling for waiting for a year or two or five for the right time, I decided to set a hard goal of summer 2021 to aquire my first property. This pushes me everyday and keeps me motivated. I picked up a second job to raise capital and I am on track to have enough for a down payment on my target property. I am not saying that another job is right for everyone, but it was something I could implement to reach my goals.
On top of that, I am reading when I can and talking to locals in my area trying to network a little on the weekends. I am very clear with my timelines with realtors so their is no false expectations or them feeling like I am wasting their time. You never know where a deal might come from, so I hope can push luck in my favor
I am in the boat where I feel I do not belong, which is a different face of the same feeling of being stuck. I just remind myself its a lot easier to talk myself out of something than actually doing it.
