Scare to make mistakes

[Caleb Masuaku]

Hey everyone, 

My name is Caleb, and I am a finance grad student at Louisiana Tech. I have been learning as much as I can about real estate and saving money for the past 9 months.  I would like to buy my first rental property in the next few months in the Milwaukee area using the brrrr method, but I am scared to death to make mistakes and lose the money that I worked so hard to save.
