Saving up to invest when financially and mentally ready, but the more I dig into the real estate world and the more I get overwhelmed!

That mentality will take you far.

You have come to a great place to learn about investing in real estate and there are a lot of knowledgable folks with an abundance mentality ready to help you out.

This is the time to make your mistakes; if your thinking like this you're probably at least 10 years ahead of your friends mentally.
