Am I Crazy....or do a lot of newbies feel this way??

Ok folks....I need some solid advice and answers here.  I am having trouble getting over the fear that if I make an offer it might actually be accepted!  I am very new to real estate investing and am at the early stages of setting goals and making a plan that makes sense.  

Just wanted to hear from others on whether or not they had this fear and how they overcame it.

Thanks,

Ed

@Zach Fairfield @Scott D Fitts - Easiest way to get over this, so you can make future offers with confidence, is to just go make some stupid and ridiculously lowball "can't lose" offer on the next thing that catches your eye.

Zero reason to be nervous about an offer at the "can't lose" price point.

99% chance that it's not going to be accepted, so it really doesn't matter.

And you know what, if it does get accepted by some miracle of fate? Great, all the better! That's the reason you wrote it so low that it was a "can't lose" offer.
