Don't get me wrong, learning by reading and watching is already getting started but if you spend too much time on it before taking action, that's a different story,If your gut tells you to start with Wholesaling then be it.

@Dane Hebert  You have to issue what is referred to as an "adverse action letter." 

You don't have to have all the answers yet but will help you get your plan of action together.Also listen to the podcasts and create keywords like "London" so you'll get alerts.

Early in your RE career its easy to try and make things a deal, when after you have been educating yourself for awhile, you look at properties to see if they are a deal.There is a balance between jumping too soon and not taking action,,,just slow down a little bit until you feel knowledgable.If you can find a mentor and run deals by them, then you will be closer to making a purchase,,but find a mentor in your area if you can, they know the market, which is a BIG deal.

hi Attila - I'm also a newbie from Sacramento but you are way ahead of me in action.

The best way to cure this fear is to take ACTION!

This way you have enough of a spread to work with.I will say thisThank you for taking some action and overcoming any fears you may have had.

Do they assign you a personal representative to answer questions and work through time sensitive situations?

Have a bias for action... even if you spend a little more for a deal, if it's a money-maker, you're still moving forward.  

He can then advise you as to course of action or in my case, inaction.
