Despite listening to numerous podcasts about real estate investing, I'm struggling to take the first step.

It's just too much risk for too little reward. 

I just got Chase Business Ink. if you spend $6000 you get $900 cash back (not sure how long this offer is) and 1.5% cash rewards on purchases. 0% APR for 12 months if balance is paid off by then.

Hi ChristopherReal estate investing can be very rewarding and confusing with so many options to get started.

I recently saw a video on no-money real estate investing and I'm really pumped but I also want to be realistic and a good fit for my future real estate partner.Here's the link to that video if you're curious:There’s always money available IF1- The deal (investment) is VERY good, significantly better than the average deal2- The risk is lower than similar deals with the same investment return3 - The money partners are able to be totally PASSIVE - because the deal maker (sponsor) is experienced, educated, and honest.So, there are numerous ways to start, with some having a much greater chance of success than others.  

And, they have a wide variety of structures and risk/reward ratios for different types of investors (from no leverage to leverage, different sub asset classes, different geographies, etc).

Numerous books, articles, seminars, etc have come out touting the riches to be enjoyed in the STR business to the point that competition has become fierce6.

But the rewards are worth it if you have the patience.  

I just wanted to take a moment to say hi to everyone who gets up and fights the good fight by striving to achieve the ultimate reward, getting a deal under contract.
