I am in the process of pursuing legal action against this contractor and plan to ban together with as many of the other subcontractors and investors who he has harmed in this way as well. 

Try breaking down what it is that is causing you to experience 'fear' in taking action.Try setting yourself smaller commitments that will get you towards your goal and list out what the risks are and how you might mitigate them.An example of a commitment would be to make x offers per week on target propertiesBreaking down a risk might be something like-Risk - target rents not achieved-Action/Mitigation - analyze comps to give you more confidence in the rental rates, model the deal more conservatively so that you can see if it works with lower ratesetc.Do a bit of research and I am sure that you can find lots of actionable help on how to overcome fear of taking action.

@Connor Koehler, congrats on taking action and narrowing down your focus to a market and asset class.

The CLT market is super-competitive right now so deals are scarce, but don’t let the itch to get into the action push you into a deal that you already know is high risk/low return.  

There is tons of information and I am happily consuming as much as I can on this site and from books.  

@Bethelehem Tesfu, some people could just read and take action.

Since I’ve read the books (and still always wanting to learn), I’m at that stage of taking action.

Sometimes the best course of action is to kind of draw attention to something, and let the (obvious-to-me) solution be their idea that they take ownership of.

Constantly work to take action and become more valuable to someone who has a lot to teach you.

Action speaks louder than words.
