Perhaps, having someone with boots on the ground in the area that you want to invest in, who can verify your contacts, rehabs, take pictures and be an added layer of confirmation for you, could help ease your worries and strengthen your ability and confidence to invest out of state.

The good news is that it gets easier and easier with each call you take and your confidence will build. 

I have some cash and a heloc I can take out, also some family that has committed cash as well.I am having trouble finding the right deal mostly because I am not that handy and don’t feel confident with a major rehab.Any leads on a good wholesaler in Cedar Rapids to help me find my first deal???

I can confidently say that book has saved and earned me more money than any other book I have ever read.  

It’s been a long road to get started but incredible connections, confidence and education gained in the mean time.

And how well does the test ad do and how much confidence do you have in the market?

I’m sure you are confident that at $100 a month you’d have a line of applications and at $2,000 a month each they probably wouldn’t rent.

Hoping after reading more books and talking to more real estate investors I'll have the confidence to buy a two-fourplex.  

Cashflow is awesome - but when ROI numbers are substantially better in a hotter market it's definitely worth looking at.Yea I tried to run a couple of scenarios but appreciation is just hard to predict & I'm not super-confident here.

and took targeted actions to boost your confidence and revolutionize your mindset.
