Right now I am stuck in the paralysis by analysis phase and am looking for any and all advice.Thanks!

That pace feels pretty good to me...I can get past the "rookie mistake" phase of my career before there is investor money on the line, and I can "fail small" because SFRs and small multifamily doesn't hurt as much as larger properties when things go wrong.Timing had a role, too.
