That being said, i am trying my best to read between the lines and apply what i can here.....apply might be a strong word at the moment for all i have done is really educate myself as much as i can daily, no real actionable steps have been taken on my part to be a more confident real estate investor.I currently have next to no money saved, but saving as much as i can 15% of my small wage at work, and it slowly builds, i have rocked at bringing my credit score up from a hurting 595 to a 742 within 6 months and now working on getting credit available to me. 

How confident are you of continued appreciation?  

Partnered with a young but confident contractor as my project manager.

Also, your confidence level skyrockets.Even if you don't purchase an investment property, at a bare minimum use your own home as part of your investment plan. 

I don’t think I could ever have the confidence to buy a foreclosure property without first seeing it but maybe this a mental obstacle I need to overcome.

Given the correct guidance, I am confident I could save you money/ find you a deal, that would be worth having me around. 

Also shoot for a property that you can be confident will rent quickly. 

Go into the meeting with confidence and with all numbers for them, that should impress them and help you obtain a loan.

I'm trying desperately to avoid analysis paralysis, but there are a few things I'm not confident about yet.

Hey @Samuel Hill, how confident are you in the rental amount?
