When you are new, you can be your worst enemy (due to lack of knowledge, ego, and FOMO).If you are new, do you have a person who tells you that some deals suck?

When it comes to hooking up my follow-up system I've seen a lot of other CRMs fall short with drips (lack of good time delays, no custom mailing function, doesn't pause with a response, can send auto messages after a deal closes, etc) 

Credit is also going to hinder your ability to get a heloc, and lack of income for now. 

Also, making some sacrifices can more than make up for lack of capital or experience when getting started.

I think anyone who’s trying to sell homes like this for the amounts they are asking lack basic skills in the real estate world.

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.  

STR-friendly markets make it easier to get started and grow your business, and the lack of state income tax is a huge perk.

I'm not too hung up on this, because the margins still appear very attractive (from what the agent speculated ARV). my hesitancy stems from a lack of experience and direct steps/plan of action to take on a property I like. 

The truth is, he would love to marry a beautiful woman, but he feels inadequate, is unwilling to put in the work, or fears failure.Jake avoids pursuing relationships with attractive women, convincing himself they wouldn't be interested in someone like him.When he does meet a beautiful woman who is kind and down-to-earth, he becomes distant or dismissive, focusing on minor flaws to justify his lack of interest.
