I have been reading a lot of new investors' posts where at some point in the post they write "I am interested in..." or "I am highly interested in..." and then proceed to name the strategy that appeals to them. While there is nothing inherently wrong with these statements, I think these people should be saying "I will be investing in..." strategy.
Take the possibility out of these statements. Make definitive statements while trying to learn more. Too many people talk about investing and never actually do it. I think this mental shift could be helpful to someone.

I agree. Too many people spend the time thinking to do something vs. actually trying. Real estate is tough because it is a big investment so it isn't as easy to get started but people need to pick a strategy that works, a strategy that is simple and get started. You are wasting time analyzing everything that can be done. You will learn by experience.
