Ok, I must admit, I am a bit terrified... please help

[Tiara Murray]

Ok here I am, a full year and a half into jumping into real estate. I am ready right now to put my first property under contract, but something is holding me back... fear. I am scarred shitless about putting my first house under contract. Being that I live in metro Detroit, so many good deals come my way, but its like I freeze up when it comes time to call up or email the listing agent or seller to offer a verbal price. I keep having thoughts about my fear of not finding an end buyer, or not being able to flip or rehab the house if I dont find an end buyer, or not finding a HML to finance my flip... I am plagued by what ifs these days. I am too scared to jump, in an too scared to fail. Did you guys have this fear when you first got into REI?
