I too have a fear of starting out.I only have decided that I was going to do this about 2 months ago.I've done a lot of reading these past two months, and have worked a little in residential construction but I still have a lot of things I worry about.I've already lined up financing, got a real estate agent, and looked narrowed about 30 drive by's to 5 or 6 properties I've looked at and I'm pondering making an offer.The thing is these properties are not in the best areas.

My background is in construction and decorative concrete coatings.

I live is an HOA were it was recently discovered that there were several construction defects.

And definitely with new construction.
