Maybe just passion?  

Richard, there is a lot of information here on BP, videos, blogs etc. take a look around the site. also going to local Real Estate Investment meetings to learn and meet contacts will help you. i do this part time and i'm sure a lot of members here do as well, i wouldn't quit my day job unless you have enough properties, financially stable and find that this business needs more of your attention to grow.

@Andrew Cordle cool video.

I would video the sellers that are in foreclosure in Nevada reading the CYA Doc below next to your attorney and your notary.

Does it come with DVD instructional videos or what does it include?

@Jose Duarte - check out the Bigger Pockets articles and videos on the 50% rule to get a better idea on what price range you should be looking for in your area, as well as some of the other calculation guides you can find for free on here. 

BP offers free online educational videos and courses for you to watch and learn.

To overcome the nerves, I'd suggest listening to a few personal development podcasts, Youtube videos, audiobooks.

It has everything you need from free online courses and videos to BP's very own podcast in itunes.

Welcome to BP community, hope all is well.What was my driving force was eating up audio books to speed up the gaining knowledge process, in return I would gather my questions faster for more deeper research.also all podcast/video-blogs from BP, listen to all of them until you start feeling a craving for a certain niche, then focus more on that new found hunger.recommended books:-10x Rule-Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing (free from BP)-Rich Dad Poor Dad-Millionaire Real Estate Agent (known as the Red book within REA's)-Millionaire Real Estate Investor (known as the Blue book within REA's)-4 hour work week-The E Myth for Real Estate Investors-Profit FirstGood luck, you seek , you will find#keepthehustle #lifeisworthliving #notdreamingitsreality
