First Home Purchase

OK...so I've been listening to Bigger Pockets Podcast for months now, researching countless strategies and obtaining mass amounts of information regarding the buy and hold branch of real estate. My main focus since January was to improve my credit score to qualify for better rates and hopefully shop around next year. Well...late last month I noticed a property listed in my area that seemed to be a perfect for my first purchase, however, I needed to secure financing in order to make a move on it. After days of doubt and self-motivational, on August 3, 2015 I finally took a leap of faith and thanks to God and the information I obtained from BP, I was able to qualify for a loan to purchase my first property. I am now in the process of getting inspections done and I am a nervous wreck. I plan to close by the end of the month and everything I learned seems to escape my brain the moment I have to sign a document or make a decision. I guess its just the fear of making a mistake along the way...but I guess I will be fine. Oh well...Wish me luck.
