Have a bias for action, make mistakes and keep it small and learn.

Rate is but a factor and is easily offset by many other actions that you can take as an investor.  

.: Wow I just got caught up on this @James Wise, bummed I missed the live action.

1) Don't fall into analysis paralysis, theres a ton of ways to invest in Real Estate, pick one and go.2) Take action.

Take action (when you are 80% ready!)

I also dont think people are so sensitive that they cant have a legitimate conversation about how new border plans can effect real estate investments along the border. 

Each of these things can be worked on and in a few months of consistent and persistent action, you can see a gradual change in your situation.Don't let current circumstances paralyze you.As far action steps:- Research and strongly consider the househacking strategy.

Finally, accountability is key, as we take ownership of our actions and results both individually and as a team, creating a foundation for trust, growth, and long-term success.

Does anyone have experience with how sensitive they are?

Being able to pick their brains is always helpful, both their successes, red flags, war stories, etc.And as Jonathan mentioned, the very first step of actually taking action is knowing how much money you have to allocate to buying a property, fixing up a property (if needed) and how much a bank will lend to you.
