I know. I bought a property (my first) in 2021 and I am now seeing that I am getting the itch, but I have no way to know how I am suppose to proceed. I THINK I may try and convert my garage into a short term rental. Congrats on your first purchase. So good! 

Quote from @Julie Belton:

I don't have any advice, but wanted to tell you that you are not alone.  i am closing this week on my first property, and I keep thinking of ways to get out of it even though I know its a good house, maybe not the best DEAL for my first, but at least I am getting a move in ready home. 

I too own a successful small business, but for some reason, buying investment property is much scarier!  Good Luck!

Hi all, Q here, and I must say I am overwhelmed. I read Rental Property Investing by Brandon a year ago and I’m reading it again to really try and understand. This RE stuff is something I’m so passionate about learning but feel there are so many moving parts and I just get stuck. I tried wholesaling (for like a week) and I didn’t cut it. So much to learn. I completely get the concepts but my follow through has not been pure. I own a business and I have been able to successfully bring in over 6 figures a year but I know the goods are in the ground. I am 36 now and I truly want something bigger for my legacy and my family. I’m hitting a wall and with all the drive and passion I have no direction. I have a wife and 3 boys and I want to really change our lives. I want to house hack but it seems like it would be hard with a family of 5. I truly get scared for our future if we don’t gain assets that can pay us with a buy and hold strategy but no clue what I’m doing. Hate to be a big baby, but I’m in need of just some direction. If RE isn’t for me, I get it but I want to give it a shot . For my family
