I am doing research on getting started but seem overwhelmed I am hoping I get a few responses to trigger some new insight of ideas for me!

Hi @Wayne Brown there are deals all over Washington DC you just have to be patient and prepared to pull the trigger once they are presented.  

I think that's how you should approach it exactly, use tools available (one of which I'm not allowed to mention) to focus on a subset by which you can do that, then do a more robust analysis by using manual legwork and research before pulling the trigger on anything.  

This quite possibly may be my first commercial property deal, and I'm just a bit nervous about pulling the trigger on it.

If you don't pay a 401(k) loan back within five years, the outstanding balance will be considered a 401(k) distribution. 401(k) withdrawals are subject to income tax and might also trigger a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty.

The longer you wait to pull the trigger the more you potentially lose.

SOOOO many people get into analysis paralysis and never pull the trigger.

I would love to network with as many people as I can so I can learn more and "pull the trigger (water guns)", which is my motto for 2019 because I don't want to be too scared to start something that could really enhance my life!

I would talk to managers before buying that way you can ask them what the estimated rent value is on a property before you pull the trigger. 

I would suggest you make sure you have the end refinance lined up before you pull the trigger and purchase the property.
