Hello everyone, My name is Cornelius and I'm new here. I currently resides in Cleveland and I'm looking to begin my real estate journey in approximately 6-8 months. Is it normal to be scared shitless ?? Lol

Hey Cornelius,

Fear is normal in any new venture. You must fight that fear if you wish to conquer it. The only way to conquer that fear is by acquiring the right knowledge and putting in the work. Happy holidays, investing and welcome to BP.

Kudos,

Mary
