Stuck in Analysis Paralysis

Hello all,

I am Ashley. I have between here for years learning/lurking. I also learned some from other real estate investors, I have met along the way. I still have not successfully closed on a deal. Got quite a few almosts. And a whole bunch of real estate agents quitting and giving up after the first 3 offers put in if I can get them to put the offers in.

I am looking to a mentor, of sorts, that can help me find what I am doing wrong or help me tweak what I am doing to help close on some deals.

Quick facts about me:

I work in construction, I am the Project Manager of the company. I also do some work myself in the field which is to be expected when its a family business. I also am a Virtual Assistant to a HUD Consultant in NJ.

Thank you for any help/advice.

Why not look at off market properties ? Why do you think you need a realtor ? Most of them don’t know their a$$ from a hole in the ground about investing or rentals ( now to be fair not all of them or the ones on here!) so there’s part of your problem . Look If it’s listed on the mls it’s already a bad deal with no meat 🥩 n the bone . You need somebody that can guide you and find you some juicy off market deals
