These are all awesome. If I had to boil all these down to one issue, I would say it's self-awareness. These people are all trying to be someone they are not, someone they can't be, or are too lazy to become that person.
There's a reason every new investor says they are stuck in analysis paralysis. It's because they are building "teams", spending too much time "evaluating" deals online without ever seeing one in person, trying to use other people's money with no collateral, and vetting systems that they have nothing to put into.
So well-put, Jonathan. Thank you for that. I'm facing that down, myself, realizing I have to actually take action, and that's terrifying!
My best advice is to know that taking action is building momentum, not buying. You don't have to buy to move forward, but you have to take the real steps to buy, like seeing properties in person, getting your finances ready, and locking in on an agent (the rest can all wait). Going to real estate investor meetups is usually the thing that springboards new investors to purchase because they get offline and realize all the people at the meetup are just like them and doing deals.
Wow, thank you so much for that encouragement! So good to know that it doesn't have to happen this second, but taking real steps counts, and that there are real people in the same boat, or at least, taking the steps like I am. I love the vision of building momentum, and when the time is right, I'll see it. And I am resolved to put myself out there, too. Thank you, again!
