I've learned so much from just reading on this site alone rather than countless google searches.

After listening to hours of podcasts, watching countless youtube videos, and perusing the BP website, I bought my first absentee list from listsource in February and I've sent out two rounds of direct mail postcards through yellowletters.com.  

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

I listened to countless podcasts and read some books too.

After two years of researching, listening to BP podcasts, many trips to the library, making countless spreadsheet tools for analysis, untold amount of time in thought, finally made our first offer on an investment property.  

Not only that, I have been to countless seminars and REAs in the area here in Chicagoland.

BP has countless articles with actionable steps to starting your investing career.

I have called countless realtors and for the most part I feel like I'm getting brushed off.

While I've read countless books on Real estate investing and gone to a lot of seminars I am now ready to just go out there and do it, but there is that little hesitant to do so.

I've seen countless FB discussions where some people (usually always young white people ironically) stirring this pot by saying things like how a black family simply cannot buy a home outside of the traditionally African American areas and especially places like Waukesha county, which is complete rubbish and I've seen first hand examples, not a whole lot but some, where it has worked out just fine.
