All, I really appreciate the information from everyone as it has been tremendously helpful.

I found great value in the course and I am finding tremendous value in working as a part of their field team.

Just by joining BP, you're already making tremendous progress-- lot's of great ideas and people to network with.

That book will help you tremendously.

3 Steps To Take Immediate Action:1) Set small, short-term goals (establishing a one-year, three-year, five-year goal has helped me tremendously)2) Seek help from people smarter than you (I am never shy to ask questions, even the stupidest ones)3) You grow through what you go through (We will make mistakes along the way and that is ultimately what will help us become better investors)

This strategy has worked tremendously for us, but I'm not sure of demand or rates relative to your area.Keep running your numbers, but don't get stuck in analysis paralysis.
