Even with that agents like @Russell Brazil and @jay Hendricks make me a bit nervous when doing deals since they have more experience and know about angles that I may have never experienced before.

not having a "stake" in the game means you carry no real risk which makes lenders nervous.

This one makes me nervous.

The arguement is that rates will only go up from here, and by paying the extra 2% to fix now it will save us from the unpredictability of the future, whereas if we ride the LIBOR, and fix when we get nervous, the 30 Yr rate will be higher (most likely proportionally to the adjusting LIBOR rate).

That would make potential lenders nervous, but they will be much more nervous if their payments are contigent on a tenant or something else that isn't concrete.

If you know all of that information and you are just nervous about the conversation or making an offer... this is where the rubber meets the road.... pick up the phone and tell the real estate agent that you would like to make an offer on the house.

And yes, I feel fine about the rehab/flip.....it's turning around and selling it as is for profit without putting any money into it that makes me feel nervous.  

Its my first deal and very nervous. should I get an attorney, what would a real estate attorney do for me.Mahalo,,,ALi

and am nervous about identifying major macro trends like job flow and the current political climate when I don't even yet understand how much a 3 bedroom house goes for and what the rental rates are in different neighborhoods. 

In my slight defense, it’s my first time, I was super nervous, and felt so absolutely intimidated (the fact that this guy and I didn’t even click whatsoever was a red flag).
