Challenges When Starting Out
Hi all –
I have a question for all the new, and soon to be new real estate investors out there; experienced investors, feel free to chime in, let us know what challenges you overcame when starting out.
What are the challenges that are stopping you, or slowing your progress as a real estate investor?
I know it will be the same for a lot of people; I have a lot of challenges that are slowing me down, I'll start off with some of the challenges I can come up with just off the top of my head and that I see and hear mentioned on this site quite often:
Analysis paralysis. I'm afraid of failure, so I never really get started. I'm always looking for the best way to do something and never end up doing it because I'm looking for a level of perfection that doesn't exist.
Shiny object syndrome. I move from subject to subject without fully committing to the first idea. I don't have the faith in my initial idea to follow through with it and end up abandoning it before anything happens with it.
What's stopping you?
