Analysis paralysis, how long is too long

[Steven Torrez]

Hello BP,

I have always been interested in Real Estate Investing. I haven't however been serious about it until recently. I joined BP and have read their free books and listened to a few podcasts this week. I know analysis paralysis is a big hurdle for new investors and I wanted to know, how long should the average person studying an hour a day take to have enough of an understanding to get into the market? For example, if i have been taking a hour a day to read and network with investors and in 6 months still haven't gotten pre-approved for a loan would you say I've hit that analysis paralysis wall? 

Looking for a basic timetable of how much everyone studied before jumping in. 

Thanks, Steve
