Similar to the FUD factor.Fear of making a bad deal because of ignorance of what I NEED to know to make an educated decision(s).I am quickly fixing the ignorance part with lots of reading of RE books and with the excellent info and helpers on Bigger Pockets.Soon oh very soon deals will be made :) Actually I am in the process of building my "team" for RE deals.

(Amazon has it or section8bible.com to buy direct.)It's a very poorly written, self-published book, but it does contain lots of good info.

LOL- Have Biggerpockets.com as the default HOME PAGE in your internet browser- Buy a real estate book from amazon while your wife wanted you to buy a book on interior decoration- Take all the money out of your bank account and invest in stocks rather than keep it in savings 'cause you are NOT getting ENOUGH RETURNS for your NET WORTHCheersRam

Check amazon, they have tons of good books.

Ask questions, like what investing do they do, what areas, what financing, ask for referrals of their term members, such as title company and attorney (investor friendly), handyman, contractors, real estate agent (also investor savvy only) to start forming your own team, and if they will share with you their buyers list.

I moved to Fishers a little over 2.5 years ago from Fort Wayne, IN and I have been couped up in an office ever since and not out in the streets looking for neighborhoods, properties or people.I need to make some contacts and build a team of professionals that can help me reach my goals.

How about this.... there are teenagers in Pittsburgh that never saw their baseball team have a winning season in their entire life!

You can go to amazon and get tons of books that cost $10-$20 that has the same knowledge as many of these $3,000 courses and $5,000 seminars.

Finding an agent would be your best bet coupled with a short sale team that would bring the experience you need to close your deal.Regards,

Be ready for a little bit of marital strain but stay focused on the team effort of reaching the goal and you'll get there.
