@Christopher VenegasWelcome to BP.Read up on the landlord tenant laws in your areas, buy some properties close to home and take it slow.

@Seth Kitchka No problem - I wish I had found this site or a group of Buildium users to bounce things off of when I switched over -- I started using it when I only had a duplex with the idea I'd accumulate more properties later on -- my accumulation has been slow - however I know it will help me immensely as I move forward.  

Help me slow my nerves down

Also make sure you MUST drive & check out the property before bidding.Tax lien in other states can be a very slow process, but if you are patient & good with tracking process; it can be very rewarding when you can foreclose on the property.

However, money is money to me and my wife has a hard time withdrawing emotion when we buy a property with tenants already in place and I plan to increase their rent.  

@Adam FlorezWelcome to the site.Building wealth through real estate is a long term slow process so the sooner you start the better.Good luck to you & I"ll see you around the forums.

Slow and steady wins the race and you came to the right place for learning! 

Once the supply has increased by a decent percentage then you know price appreciation will slow down or slow.

Every investor goes through said phase, but typically the best deals are found when things slow down and you set criteria as far as what you are looking for and most importantly you don't waver from that criteria just to land a deal.

We have grown our portfolio in a slow-and-steady manner, while living overseas.
