Sometimes, I still get anxiety to this day.

Taking the first few months to adjust and get a strong handle on what your monthly expenses will be, then utilizing a budgeting tool like mint.com or ynab.com will save you a ton of anxiety down the line.  

The main thing I am taking away from everybody so far is that the repairs I am doing now are not unreasonalble for future considerations (which relieves some anxiety) and that I need to consult with my electrician before doing any modifications to the systmen - regardless of good intentions!

These are things that I did that helped me ease my anxiety and got me ready to start:- Visit as many properties as possible to get comfortable with them and understanding what is on the market and what you could look for.

If you're looking for a taste of non-performing note investing (aka "paper") buy the book, 'Performance Anxiety' by Gordon Moss.

Good luck @Dave Kay , I'm sure it will work out but these things definitely cause anxiety.

Looking for creative financing options like wrap around mortgage to solve Seller's anxiety about bank foreclosure being triggered by credit union if she were to sell to myself and they find out by insurance or escrow etc. that a new owner is on title or property has been sold, even if the credit union is receiving payments by myself or original owner on time for example ( unlikely they will start any foreclosure- also in California it takes up to 4 months to foreclose).

I find it ironic that the ESA can quell a tenant's anxiety and in turn give me, the landlord, a like amount of anxiety.

BUT, I have to recommend against quitting your job out of anxiety to go out on your own.
