Thank you for the encouragement, 

 You guys hit it on the head Ive have been blessed/cursed with an over analytical mind. I love research but I don't feel that I have all the tools i need in my tool box yet to make good decisions. However I am willing to make personal sacrifices to build a solid financial future and put "emotional buying" out of my head. We will definitively be posting our first on BP before we pull the trigger. As far as saving Yes! we are saving as much as we think we can, we also have a wedding to pay for in addition to our first deal. The plan is to defiantly start small I don't want to over extend ourselves there is a time and place for calculated risk and now is not the time for that.

Thank you

Hey guys thanks for taking the time to read this, So my girlfriend and I are planning on getting married and buying our first place. I've always played with the idea of a duplex to hack for my first house and managed to sell her on it which has lead to hours and hours of BP videos (thank you) trying to soak up as much as I can. Sense then we have decided to pursue a future in buy and hold multi and possibly single family in the Waukesha, Milwaukee area. Ive had some experience with onsite property management with a 36 unit on the north side of Milwaukee that's not to say that I think I know everything but hopefully it will help. I work a full time job at Home Depot and have built a list of contractors I trust completely. A good friend of mine trains home inspectors and was nice enough to let me audit some of his classes. After taking a few people out to dinner and picking some brains we have settled on a realtor with some investment experience and have started looking for our first deal. Despite everything we have learned trying to get set up I gotta say I'm afraid to take that leap I fear what I don't know and don't know what I don't know. I'm not going to let this stop us just wish I was getting a bit more sleep at night. Humbly Dustin C.
