Newbie here, what was your biggest hurdle first starting?

[David Dunn]

Hi, Thought I would introduce myself with a question.

I am located in Jacksonville, FL and decided to start flipping houses, getting into rentals a little down the road after I get my feet wet. My business allows me plenty of free time and my wife is a realtor, so I feel like I have a great opportunity ahead.

What was your first step to being a realtor investor, what mental hurdle did you overcome to finally take the plunge and purchase that first home?

Get past the voices, investing in my first duplex my sophmore year at OSU in Columbus

-Parents "That seems very reisky" 

-Realtor "its not a homerun but its a start"

-Friends "I invest in the stock market and it doesnt require that much work"

3 years later my duplex appraised for $300k more then what I bought it for and cash flows $1,800/month!
