Hey Brad, 

A saying that really stuck with me was "What matters it time IN the market, not TIMING the market". It's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis and scrutinize every detail. The truth is you will make mistakes. And as long as you don't overleverage it's easy to recover. 

Pulling the trigger on my first deal was the most important thing I've done. It's opened so many doors. Now my network has grown as well as my REI knowledge. The hardest step is the first one.

I'd be happy to answer any questions. I invest out of state and have been doing it successfully for a few years now.
