First off, I am not a new member but I have recently changed my commitments I have been wanting to give Real Estate investing a try for a while now just had to get past the "analysis paralysis" stage and I am ready to get my hands dirty so to speak (or literally in a rehab or flip). I plan to work in So. IL, W. Ky, and E. Mo. so if any investor would like to connect with me from those areas or any areas please reach out to me. Any body that reads my post would you be so kind as to share one "must know" for new investor that has helped your business get off the ground.  Thank you very much in advance

@Ricardo Powell Jr welcome and glad you are starting to get serious about REI and over the "analysis paralysis". My tip is to always treat it like a business and not like a hobby. Once I switched that mindset it made a big difference in our REI. Also, keep the emotion out of your interactions with others and while looking at potential deals. Emotion can cloud your judgment on decisions and when you are able to remove that part out of your business you will be more successful. Good luck in all your REI ventures.
