What Are People's Biggest Hold-Ups?

Naturally, real estate is a risk when it comes to flipping, renting, STR's, whatever. Minor risk, but investing is a risk.

That being said, there are a lot of drawbacks when people are looking to get started. Me personally, before my wife and I bought our first duplex, my big thought was, "how do I get the money?" 

I feel as if the financial barrier is a huge setback. But I'd like to hear what are some other setbacks when people first got started, ASIDE FROM FINANCES/CAPITAL
