Extremely Motivated and fairly nervous first-time investor

[Dustin Keating]

I just signed up a few days ago but have been listening to podcasts for a month. Enjoying all of the very educational information that's being communicated!  I'm very motivated to get things going but I swear the market is so barren and empty every time I look to make a move. It is very concerning. I go back and forth between "I can do this" to "Now isn't the time". This does not reflect the type of person I am though. I've been a construction MGR in oil and gas for 10 years and in the business 21 years. Is anyone else feel this way? I divorced two years ago and have saved while living in an RV and am ready to break out and get things done but I can't shake the feeling of possibly being "out of my lane". Just thought I would test the waters here and see if I wasn't the only one. Good luck everyone!

I would say buy yourself a house hack. If you're living out of an RV, you will be able to improve vastly your standard of living, get rental income to qualify you for more purchases, and enjoy appreciation on your home. 

Not sure what you're looking for, i.e. how you intend to make money real estate investing, but deals are getting harder to come buy in this smoking hot market, so I understand your angst.

Hang in there, and get rich slow!
