It has been a process and I will say right out of the gate, if you think this industry is a get rich quick place to be, Your Wrong! Real estate takes time and patience if you are staring from nothing like I did. I read a lot of blogs and forums and many people keep talking about doing, reading, studying. My advice is take the first step and just buy a property. My first property was not a good choice but at least I had something to work with and compare to on my next purchase. Actions are so much louder than words, just get your feet wet and do it!

 I wish I could give you 2 votes for this post.

I absolutely agree.  So many people pay good money for seminars which fill their heads with fantasy.  I started small because, like you, that's all I could afford.  I made mistakes, just like you, and over time the business will grow if you work hard.  I'll keep making mistakes but that's ok because learning never stops.
