How to Overcome Analysis Paralysis?

[Jacob Maes]

I work with a lot of investors and one common theme I see with a lot of the new investors is that they typically over analyze a deal to the point that they miss out buying a deal if they decide they like it. Most investment properties are being sold in literally hours, max a day, and they often have to run so many numbers that by the time they decide it's already been sold. I tell my investors to make sure they have a certain criteria of a property they are looking for in advance and if a deal pops up that meets what they are looking for then they are able to make a quick decision. My question is to help them with their over analysis, is there a strategy or a different method I should take to help those looking to make their first jump into real estate investing?
