Try breaking down what it is that is causing you to experience 'fear' in taking action.Try setting yourself smaller commitments that will get you towards your goal and list out what the risks are and how you might mitigate them.An example of a commitment would be to make x offers per week on target propertiesBreaking down a risk might be something like-Risk - target rents not achieved-Action/Mitigation - analyze comps to give you more confidence in the rental rates, model the deal more conservatively so that you can see if it works with lower ratesetc.Do a bit of research and I am sure that you can find lots of actionable help on how to overcome fear of taking action.

I am sure most of my reservations comes from the fear and the learning it will require but that is more me just being selfish.

My biggest fear is looking back in five years saying I made the wrong decision. 

Most people are :-Terrified of anything that is potentially risky with money - naturally cynical and negative toward new things - fearful of what they don’t understand Knowing this ..your best bet is to write your goals on a piece of paper and tell no one .

But I've gotten conventional funding on properties for which the seller said "cash only offers" due to fear of issues getting a loan on the property.

I’m at the fear state because I don’t know the real estate area.

My fear is will the building collapse down the line and is it worth buying the property?

Two things that intimidate me are (1)I guess is the fear that I will make a very costly mistake and (2) finding roaches while I view houses ( i'm scared to death of them).. hahaha. 

The fear of loss was at the top of many of the investors' mind.
