I feel like I let fear stop me from taking action in 2015.

Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when everyone wants to be a real estate investor. 

That i think wipes out all the FEAR of investing and buying your first house and this and that...   

As far as full disclosure up front there seems to be a lot of fear from folks as far as getting under contract on a property without knowing everything up front.

If they decide to move in fear of losing their voucher, it will be a win win situation for both of us.

I think back to when I didn't, I made more decisions that had fear as a variable... when you have the ability to ebb and flow, I think you're more likely to make sound decisions based on facts and numbers.With that all said, I personally will never mix my personal home equity w/ business and/or REI or other investing.  

My biggest fear is being able to get financing, as I had to file bankruptcy a few years ago due to a failed business (which in itself makes me gun-shy, too...).

A big part of that is due to my fear of opportunity cost and knowing how long conventional financing takes and how many hurdles it has.

I know, which is why I'm taking it upon myself to combat this "fear" I guess you could call it.I guess what I could do is try to always keep a piece of paper near me, on that paper have a ballpark idea of what I am looking to spend, and what area I would be most likely be looking into, as well as how would I go about financing (now on that part, I most likely would want to work with a broker, since there's a bit more flexibility) since I would be going from "rags to niches to (hopefully) riches."

I don't know where to start. the information is so overwhelming I FEAR that I won't get started because I don't know where to start.
