I am trying to get into something fairly soon before I lose my nerve and never get started.  

So I end up eating the cost of Appraisal, bank costs and title examination of about $650. 

Personally, I would start by ascertaining the motivation to sell before examining the property.

Getting out of the analysis paralysis stage feels great, albeit a little nerve rattling.  

While I can be rather bold (LOL) I was a ball of nerves knocking on the first few doors.

Some requirements like record retention are there for institutional examinations that you won't be subject to, some retention requirements relate to borrower inquiries, notices given, liabilities and relate to collection laws.

I'll be taking my state exam in early December after back from vacation, so not sure how difficult that is yet, though I've heard there are different versions of it that can range in difficulty.  

He has to re-examine his future expectations about what's about to happen in 2015 and get to the bottom of what happened in 2014.We can't ignore what happened in 2014.

My nerves are getting the best to me as well, but yes.... what is the worst that can happen?

The only thing holding me back, though, is the fear that I won't find a buyer for a deal and end up in deep crap because I signed a legally binding purchase and sale contract and irking the nerves of a seller after tying it up for a few months and not delivering.
