Flight delayed- bored- so here is poll or question.

[Rich Weese]

I placed this in starting out on purpose. Just curious about what the newbies feel they're lacking, after expertise.
1. properties
2. buyers
3. sellers
4. money
5. guts
I have my own thoughts as to what the order will be due to # of posts here on BP about each area listed in poll. What are you needing most? Rich

For me, it wasn't any of those things...

It's been a couple years now since I did my first deal, but I remember when I was looking for that first investment, and I remember what held me back for several months before I made the leap...

It was lack of confidence in my ability to make an informed decision. I didn't feel that I had enough information to determine if something was a good deal or not.

Looking back, I actually didn't have enough information, and knowing what I know now, I don't think I ever would have had enough information if I didn't take a risk on that first deal. Some things you have to learn by doing, and sometimes you just have to make the leap and take a risk to learn those things...
