Analysis paralysis or just not feeling prepared?

[Raphael Abreu]

I heard Brandon Turner talk about contacting mom & pop landlords on craigslist for potential deals.  I thought it was a great idea.  I been reading & studying on the subject of real estate for about 2 years now, but I’m scared to take that leap of fate.  I don’t know if it may be would be a better idea to hold off on trying to wholesale until I complete reading  “The book on estimating rehab costs”.  Part of me says I should just try to contact the leads I have currently & the leads i have on craigslist & figure things out as I go.  I met two individuals that are active investors & maybe they can help me when I’m stuck.  What do you guys think?
