Have some hobby? 

So many people treat it like a hobby, where they look for or do deals whenever they feel up to it and that won't work long term or lead to success.

Sit back, make REI self-education a hobby, on the side, for free or the cost of a few books, and when you are well-capitalized, speak the language of REI fluently, and have a clear and compelling thesis for the type of deal that will meet your goals, set yourself up to act with a combination of boldness and conservatism that feels right for you.
