Terrified Investor

Years ago I used to do hundreds of real estate deals (all SFH) and was perfectly at ease doing so. Now that I am just getting into the multi-family / commercial arena I feel I am absolutely terrified. I find myself talking myself out of doing the simplest things like talking with brokers or even looking up apartment complexes. I just keep listening to this course I have and hoping that I will learn enough not to be afraid anymore.

Anyone else have this problem? How did you overcome it?

Interesting that no one suggested to just stick with what you know. If you're good at the SFH game, you can certainly continue on that route and achieve the income goals you desire just by stepping up your game. If you were doing 50 houses a year, shoot for 100 or 150. Nothing wrong with doing what you know best, especially if it's making you a decent profit.
