My biggest challenge right now is overcoming analysis paralysis.

Plenty of people (agents included) can come up with pie-in-the-sky ideas of how to change and improve a house, but few have a real understanding of what that work entails, what challenges will need to be overcome, and how long it will all take and what it will all cost. ...how did this agent know all this info?

That's been overcome before and the next step I would take is to have conversations with commercial lenders in the market you're looking to buy in.

What video or podcast or article would be the best to overcome what I expect might be a skeptical reception?

A fellow I'm reading and watching his videos, Tai Lopez, said:- you can't do a deal type you don't know aboutThis comment follows this one:- be a book reading nut, read and learn continously and fiendishly.Knowledge can over come all short comings.

It has helped our business overcome so many obstacles!  

Devising any transaction to overcome the marketability issues basically is another predatory matter, selling for more than it is actually worth (reasonably as to market value) selling the buyer on the terms rather than the property value, the terms do not add value to a property beyond what customary financing would cost to accomplish the sale.Property condition also comes into the picture, is the property marketable as collateral for most customary loans?

Overcoming Analysis Paralysis: Since you have a tendency towards analysis paralysis, setting clear, achievable goals can help.

I appreciate the tips from your own experiences - it's just the thing that I need to see to overcome my doubts.

@Chris MackinlayThat is the fear of risk that many investors have to over come to buy their first deal.
