Overwhelmed, but still ambitious!

Investing in real estate can be overwhelming. Back in December of last year, I remember being excited about real estate investing then. During the excitement phase, I read various books on REI. Particularly, I read those that were published by Bigger Pockets. FIVE months passed as the reading continued, but no tangible progress. The informatIon overload, lack of patience, and not knowing the proper steps made REI overwhelming. It became overwhelming that I decIded to not continue the path of REI. However, today I’m back here to give it another try. But I have a question. How are you dealing with the overwhelm?

Take one step at a time. good first steps are: talking to local lenders in your area to find out what kinds of loans you can get and for how much. join your local real estate investment group (can't say that strongly enough) and pick an area- just one at a time- to find out the local rents and price per square foot in that area. 

Good luck!
