Investing is Stressful!

Hank Wu

Just got started with investing and it is a huge stress! Constantly worrying what my tenants might do, worrying about the market, worrying about the value of my unit, worrying if I have enough seed capital to make this sustainable. Am I not made out for this industry? Or do I need something to cope? What do you use to cope with the stress?

Started out exactly the same. Bought some rentals, overpaid, made tons of mistakes, but learned a lot from doing. Stress is part of the job, but you need to manage it. I think most of your stress stems from fear and your inexperience and that is normal. Keep pressing forward, expect to make mistakes, deal with them, learn from them, and come out a wiser and stronger investor. It's that simple.
