Hi Randi, have you considered hard money lending to just get things going?

First time home buyer and I decided to go with Pomona. I have a generally good idea of the area and its value. Can’t say enough how excited I am to really learn the in and outs of real estate with this property. Great...

Should I just purchase the property, run it for a year, gain some experience and then finish the basements later on?  

I've have read many books, listened to many podcasts, and read many posts on this forum and still do so, but I sat on the sidelines for a number of years just trying to save enough money in my emergency fund before starting to save some down payment money. 

I just finished a coffee harvest.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

Just go to learn.

My main fear is that I've underestimated my Opex assumptions or will miss some major issue during inspection that will turn the deal into an alligator property.For the last 4 months I've been stuck in analysis paralysis and haven't been able to just pull the trigger on a deal.

People, particularly amateurs just starting out, tend to focus too much on big tools.

I wrote a Blog on this very subject.You will eventually learn enough to be of help to yourself, just keep doing it and record the prices so you can start to get a feel for SF costs.One thing I can offer is this website,I have checked them out and they are fairly accurate , you enter your zipcode, I just hate for people to be off by even $10k, that could be your profit on some projects, right?
