Curtis N. I'm honestly not sure at the time. How is your journey coming along in the Real Estate world? I'm sure this platform helped a great deal.

Start reading as much as you can and from that you'll quickly learn what your options are. It will greatly depend on your interests, how much spare time you have, and what type of funds you have access to.

I had been in the analysis-paralysis stage of investing for the last few months but have recently started to pull the trigger on several things. I made my first short-term private loan a few weeks ago and I am currently working on a short-sale in Central VA right now. I am also working on buying my first rental property in the midwest but I haven't been able to focus on that enough and have been spinning my wheels.

The best piece of advice that worked for me was to always identify what your next step is to keep progress moving. If you have bad credit and need to fix it before you can invest, focus all your energy on that. If you want to wholesale but need deals, marketing should be your focus. Etc, etc. Otherwise it's easy to have your head spinning and just get overwhelmed. That's how most people end up not pulling the trigger.
