Analysis paralysis: one of the biggest blocks of successful investing. That’s when you stumble into a good deal, then stop dead in your tracks. You worry about the decision but never do anything. In my first six months of investing, I looked at hundreds of great deals and froze. How did I know it was a good deal? How did I know I could make money? If I made an offer, I was scared I might have gotten the deal… and then what?
To overcome analysis paralysis, (1) get lots of information and (2) make sure you have a really good deal (because even if it’s not as good as you think, you still have a margin of error to work with). If I told you the exact cards that will come out on the blackjack table, without a doubt, you would play them because you have information about what will happen. When you gather lots of meaningful information, this also can be true in real estate investing…
