MacDill AFB in Tampa = South Tampa hotspot to buy in - but low cap rate)-Neighborhood should be 50% rentals or less?

i know this sounds pathetic but I need to get out there.I've done a ton of busy work and i do not believe i can get any more prepared to start than where i am now.I've been to webinairs and find myself answering other people questions.I've listen to countless you tube how to videos and find myself hear the same thing. even saying what they were going to say before they said it. i got yellow templates saved, i got seller scripts saved, i many different business card designs saved, i have a web site designed saved. the list goes on and on.What i need to do is start picking up the phone and make some phone calls.to like: calling realtors and get to know the hot spot marketsgo to a reia meeting instead of keeping track of when they are.network with others in my areastart looking for real property (not sample property to practice on) and runing the numbersdirect mailgetting on that phone.it's just frustrating and i have no one to be frustrated at but myself.has anyone gone through this phase?
