I would suggest you read "The 10X Rule" by Grant Cardone.

he really shows how to use that excitement to your benefit.

Keep moving forward

 I am an HVAC/R tech by trade I work in plants...and I will check the book out thanks

Philip S. Hahahaha. I'm like that too and can be very impulsive sometimes. My wife has to step in and keep me grounded all the time. That said I recommend channelling that excitement into educating yourself and leave the final decisions up to the wife. That works for us but then again I got a really smart wife.

 mine is very good with numbers and highly book smart also. so i see your point lol

Its only been a week since I made the decision to study this field 

But i can hardly contain my motivation every waking minute I not at work I am reading/studying or listening to the podcast. Its all I can talk about with my spouse 

My question is should I try to hold back some of this emotion or is it good to be this excited?

Welcome @Philip S. I'm also from the Golden Triamgle best of luck in flipping. This is a great place to learn lots of information about real estate. Beaumont I have heard has a hot market despite the northward trend to Lumberton. 

I currently invest in. SFH and I just started looking in Beaumont between Calder and Delware and a few other areas let me know if you finds something and want to wholesale it.

Oh - and be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts- especially for "Beaumont" so you'll be notified when people mention it here in the forums.

Thanks again for introducing yourself!

 I started at #1 I try to listen to at least two a day. I also replaced all my love for music with your podcast

I'm from southeast Texas I am 22 years old and I am very intrigued by this business.

I am buying books and reading forums, but I would love the advice of people with experience.
