The more you play to your strengths, the easier it will be to move forward with confidence.

Currently I’m in the market for my first rental investment, and I finally got the confidence to contact the listing agent to set up an appointment to view the property.

Have confidence that you made it this far and that you'll continue to succeed because you've been successful already.

Time is our biggest enemy, but I’ve calculated a number of worst case scenarios and am fairly confident that we will be able to adapt and change course if necessary.

I feel very confident that if someone that has done deals before wouldn't mind giving you X money or X experience into getting into the game.The biggest hurdle I found getting started is...in fact...getting started. 

Have a title search done unless your are Very confident you know how to do it yourself(do you know how to find a mtg/lien that was recorded with a misspelled last name?)

You definitely have some good advice on this thread, but I will say that my out of state investors that come and spend a weekend in the area generally feel much more confident about their deals.
