But I fear the very low response rate from my last campaign.What should I do?

He didn't allow big dogs out of fear for scratching it.

Just like you, I always wanted to get on this side of real estate for a very long time, but fear and time to get into this business was always an excuse.

I have been read and listening to everything I can get my hands on about wholesaling and rehabbing since February & it is my fear not let a deal pass me by.

I just fear that even with the proper test results showing the home has no more mold, any ARV based on a market analysis I come up with will be questionable because of the history.

For instance, in certain areas rather than pay a property manager we have paid an off-duty cop to pick up rents for $30-50 month (depending on location) and have documentation signs which puts the FEAR of GOD in the tenants and even if they skip out on 1 months rent they NEVER trash the place because they are scared of the law! 

I also have fears of using hard money lending.

My fear is that I pay the $395 fee plus $45/50 for the text book and the websites are a scam.

Leslie Brown is one of my favorites and he has a part in his book that says "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyways."

Don't worry about what you sound like, taking the plunge and getting over the fear of sounding inexperienced is your first step.
