Are you Stuck in Neutral, unable to get started in RE investing?

[Rob Cook]

Today, I read only two blog posts on BP, and BOTH were about the same subject.  

Getting Started in RE investing, essentially. 

I believe there are very real, and many imagined impediments to would-be, aspiring Real Estate Entrepreneurs actually getting to it.  Buying a property. Moving from the "classroom" to the real world. 

I have a lot of thoughts on this and it is my favorite subject and specific topic.  I am passionate about helping others transition from student to investor and sad that so many fail to actually accomplish this. 

Let's discuss why.

Because the majority of people in this world are talkers as opposed to doers. It's easy to talk about wanting to invest. It's easy to talk about setting a budget and sticking to it so you can save the money to get that first one. It's easy to dream about. 

Going out and making it happen is a completely different story. I worked around 70 hours last week just rehabbing a house to rent. When it comes down to that most people aren't willing to do it. The only other option is to pay someone else but most of these same people lack a good W2 job for the same reasons they will not work 70 hours to fix up a house......just much easier to talk about it.
