However, I’ve also heard of people adopting a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy with the seller, though I fear that could open you up to later legal action if the seller changed their mind down the road.

For me personally, I just had to get over the fear of losing money by just biting the bullet and diving into my first deal.

My biggest hurdle is getting over the fear that I’ll be throwing money away that could be used for my growing family (one on the way) if I choose a bad deal.

There's a fear factor at first (to buying nonlocally, no matter how you do it), but do your due diligence, ask tons of questions of the provider, shop around, ask for referrals from others who've done it.

I've neglected south of the Trinity because I have a fear of a massive traffic bottleneck getting over the bridges.

This is our fear as well.  

I'm trying to get into the market rather than sit on the sidelines, but my biggest fear is getting trapped in a big mortgage only to watch the value of my home fall. 

If we all feared slander over warning other people, then we would enable Scott to continue this behavior. 

I have to stop putting artificial limits and stop fearing failure.

Today, the one deal I was working where fear got in my way is really what I want to talk about.
