I am irrationally terrified of not performing on a deal, so I have always checked in with a few potential loan sources to make sure I could qualify for the loan before making any offers.

I was terrified of my first deal. 

The most terrifying if them but know that as soon as I get this ball rolling, I do not ever want it to stop. 

(first fourplex)I am currently in the process of figuring out the most effective way to fund the rehab.With interest rates so high, I'm terrified at what hard money lenders will quote me at... but maybe its the only way.Any other creative strategies out there other than hard money lenders?

Your silence on the topic should terrify anyone foolish enough to consider sending you money.

I still have those moments where I’m introverted and think about being terrified to make that phone call or go to that meeting and then I remember that I’m the only one who can make my dreams a reality.

However, I am terrified of biting off more than I can chew and end up screwing my family even worse (we bought another home to live in so this would be secondary).

I am looking to buy my first home and I'm more than terrified.

You are absolutely correct that it will be beneficial to some, especially those who aren't terrified of this lead business ( That old saying, The more you know, the more you grow)!
