Is it just me?

[Craig C.]

I don't know about anybody else, but I am very frustrated.  Why? 

Because to me, I am reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading reading, and then reading some more, and the result? 

Not having a solid understanding!  I don't make a move unless I understand it!  But you if are not understanding too many things, and it is keeping you reserved from making the move how then do you approach this? 


I can't emphasize enough to say that I have done too much reading to not get anywhere!  And I don't know about you, but I don't have $300 to shell out every time I would be asking a lawyer!  And virtually everything I read has a disclaimer suggesting you talk to a lawyer - in other words: what good is all this reading really doing any of us?  I am sick and tired of disclaimers, because it's the same thing as saying "My article is bunk, and at best it maybe just pie in the sky!" 

Your thoughts?

What is it you're reading about? In other words, what is it you're trying to learn about/do? Makes a big difference. Real estate investing is full of different niches. 

In any event, you can only do so much reading. When I first got into buying houses to rent out, I did a ton of reading on being a landlord. At least enough until I felt comfortable enough to jump in. 

You can never know everything though. Some things you just have to learn by actually DOING them. If I waited until I knew everything, I'd still be reading. :)
