How did you know you were ready to start?

When you began in REI, how did you know that you were ready to make offers and look for buyers? Did you wait until you got a complete understanding of REI? Or did you just jump in once you had a basic understanding?

I didn't even have a basic understanding. I read a book about real estate investing and thought it looked like a good place to invest. I saved up some money and bought something without having a clue. It worked out. As long as you're in it for the long term, real estate is pretty forgiving. You can make mistakes and still turn a great profit.
