Research places that are similar to yours. "Pretend"  like you are looking for a place to live; look for places that offer all (as close as possible) the things your property offers within the area.

@Andrew Johnson

That is a great point. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey guys, thanks for the feed back! I think a good takeaway is : the ability to anticipate the kind of knowledge about to be presented (before it actually is) could be a great indicator of having a good foundation.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

Bottom line up front:
What advice do you have in regards to determining when you "know enough" to get started?

I like to think that I am a pretty thorough person by nature. I have always been a curious problem solver and tend to apply a methodical, fact-based approach to my endeavors. Based on the MBTI, I am an xNTJ (VERY slightly introvert leaning), if that helps provide context about me for anyone. I am the kind of guy that will read every available review, spec, statistic,  and comparison on anything that I buy or do before prior to execution.

I keep reading and hearing podcasts that advocate avoiding the "analysis paralysis."

I don't know what I don't know until I know it! No different than anyone else. However, being aware of how I operate--especially when finance is involved--I am paranoid that I may go overboard on the education/discovery phase of my journey.

There are a lot of smart people on here who may have been in my shoes at some point in time.

Whatever the feedback, I sincerely appreciate any advice you are willing to provide.

Thanks,

Chris K

@Elizabeth Wilson Well, that is perfect! What days? (apologies if it has already been mentioned)

@Douglas Skipworth I have close to a billion tabs open on my laptop.. haha. House Hacking is definitely in there. I tend to be super methodical; right now I am working through the Ultimate Guide (saw house hacking in chapter 2 I think). I'll make my way to that article for sure considering it caught my eye immediately. Thanks for reaching out!

@Elizabeth Wilson Thanks! I work at night, so I don't know if I can make a 7:30 (assuming PM) but I will be looking for gatherings on weekends/ daytime events!

@Dmitriy Fomichenko Thanks for the tips, Ill give them a look

@Alex Craig Thanks, Alex. I will definitely look into that. I look forward to meeting at some point!

@Dean Harris Interestingly enough, I listened to the BP podcast before coming to the site! I ran a google search for "best real estate podcasts" and was immediately hooked. It's a great resource for sure. Thanks for extending a warm welcome!
