Short back story - Became debt free after paying off $30k - Currently have $25k saved - Have been doing research, listening to podcast, read the book on rental property investing by Brandon Turner, and became a ProMember of BiggerPockets (learning how to run numbers with the tools here).

I’ve been researching for over a year and have knowledge, mentors, and potential funding sources but find pulling the trigger and starting on my own very difficult.
