There's always a reason not to invest... Start today

No matter the stage of the market, there’s always reasons not to invest.

- Prices are too high

- Prices are falling

- Interest rates are too high

- My Cousins, Mothers, Sister told me that Real Estate is too risky

There’s never a “perfect” time, but everyone wishes that they started sooner.

Start today, have a long-term vision.

    This is great advice. When I first started learning about REI (4 years ago) I had these thoughts constantly. I figured "this has to get better, right?"

    Eventually I realized that you really just need to look for a deal that fits your criteria. If you can find that deal, pull that trigger. The second best time to plant a tree is certainly today. It's always going to be easy to look back and wish you would've invested in year X.
