Same is true with getting the wrong property and then figuring out what you are going to do with that property.The challenge is that this could actually be taking you further away from you goal when you purchase the wrong house, with the wrong type of money.My suggestion is learn and educate yourself first, make sure you know very clear what your end goal is and then create the strategy to reach that goal and select what tactic you will use.Then a lot of these other things you are stressed about will fall into place and not seem as daunting.
