You'll never have a solid enough plan, and when you're focused on achieving something you'll see the opportunities and do whatever it takes to hurdle the barriers and overcome failure.

Im overcoming the fear of asking but would like to have my ducks in a row before I sit these strong private money leads down. 

These guys are right in many ways when they talk about how important your data is in who your targeting in your list, your social skills with the seller when they call you, how to overcome objections with a motivated seller, but getting back to direct mail......it is very effective in my Southern California market.

It's how you overcome them and the lesson you learn from them that will shape your success as an investor.

If you want to come in with guns loaded and ready to fire in order to overcome underwriting objections and preemptively "prove your innocence," dig for your old Uniform Residential Loan Applications where you signed indicating your "intent" to move into the various properties, when applicable, and then dig up some old bills from a few months after purchase that were mailed to that address, proving that you did indeed do as you said you "intended" to do each and every time.An underwriter with an IQ over 70 will be able to look at an interest rate on your mortgage statement, look at the date the loan was originated on your credit report, and instantly know if you purchased that property as a primary residence or as an investment property. 

I believe, best solution to overcome fear is to GO OUT AND TAKE ACTION.
