Can I Really?

I have been a member of Deans site here for a while. I keep visiting back and forth. Things almost sound too good to be true. Im not saying they are, just saying for me they are. Can I really invest and be successful at this Real Estate business. I find myself in fear of the unknown, not sure whether I can or not. Maybe its my low self esteem. I dont know. I mean I am 25 years old, live paycheck to paycheck at the moment. I have so many dreams. I would love to have my diamond in the ruff so to speak. My credit (well dont even get me started on that). Its not very good. Im afraid. Im having a hard time diving in. Has anyone besides me been there? I would love to hear from anyone who reads this blog(if anyone does) and I would love to hear your input. I mean I dont even know where to start. Im assuming registering to be a member here is a pretty good start. So tell me... Can I really do this?
