I'm reading and getting involved with:J Scott - "The Book on Flipping Houses"J Scott -  "The Book on Estimating Rehab Cost"Rick Villani and Clay Davis (book and audio) "Flip - how to find, fix, and sell houses for profit"Joining BiggerPockets as a Pro memberVisiting my local REIAs for seminars, webinars and networking  I'm starting to see where my biggest fear is starting to take shape:  FINANCINGMy biggest concern it finding the right private lender without getting scammed before my first deal.  

I actually just moved from hudson county , North Bergen specifically , and actually feared purchasing in the area due to potential tenant issues .

James knows Cleveland, has great deals and will provide turnkey service to passive investors.Regarding your fear of loss, remember that you only lose when you sell.

I guess the processes of getting the deals thru to closing.or maybe just the fear of doing something wrong.

I fear the what-ifs in this scenario. 

I love the idea of starting to invest in real estate now but I fear I am going to make a mistake if I do it on my own. 

I had five offers but I had to move, I couldn’t take any chances, so .. the inconvenience fell on me- In selling my home I wouldn’t THINK of asking for 60 days, not when people are paying cash and houses don’t stay on the market. it would “probably” be fine but my fears would be “what if they can’t find a place”?

@Wilson Adams,Could there be an underlying fear keeping her from being more open to it?

Too many landlords fear the impression they may give tenants when in reality you make all the decisions and their opinion does not count.

I have no fear, a strategic mindset, ambitious go getter, and hungry to succeed, all in all, I like to get things done, if you feel my skill sets suits your needs, let's put our talents and strengths together and do the impossible!
