Hey everyone.I'm a new investor, who is currently in the paralysis by analysis stage.I'm eager to get started, just having a hard time waiting patiently while I painstakingly build my lump sum of cash for down payment.My question is, should I use my primary home's equity to get started?

As listed in the Rental Buy and Hold analysis program here on bigger pockets(which has been great by the way!

There are a number of items that make up that criteria, but there are two that stand out:1 - You must be really good at Analysis (market, rehab, and property)2 - You must build (and grow) your Buyers list. 

Have your real estate agent run comps for you and provide a full CMA (comparative market analysis).If you don't know how to adjust comps, pulling them yourself on sites like zillow, trulia, etc won't help much unless you get lucky and find a model match in similar condition with similar amenities.

This would require you to have a solid business plan and property analysis in place to get them to say yes, but you could buy properties with their cash and pay them back in installments at a percentage you decide.

They are already highly experienced at both analysis and negotiations, and will pass those talents through the properties the wholesaler presents to the end buyer.

I'm likely suffering analysis paralysis and just need to get in the game.Thanks again!

From a quick analysis standpoint, IE: this house is worth between 70-90k these details are not as important but when you are trying to really hone in... very importantHopefully there is something usable above.  

What capex do you recommend  or other data(Repairs) to be entered on the analysis calculator to see the returns /results ?

It is speculative in that you are not building a custom home for a specific buyer, just speculating (obviously based on market analysis) that there are buyers in the area looking for what you're going to provide.
