Try This!"},"content":{"rendered":"

On a recent BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast<\/a> episode, I addressed a question from a listener that I get from a lot of people: “As a fairly new investor, are there any tips, tricks, or methods that you would use to get past the analysis paralysis and feel confident about a property?”<\/p>\n

Analysis paralysis is a term describing when a new real estate investor is so caught up on which strategy to choose, how to execute it, and whether or not they will make a mistake that it ultimately leads to them never taking action at all.<\/p>\n

Here’s my take on this issue.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 Way to Overcome Analysis Paralysis<\/h2>\n

So, the short answer is I don’t have any tips and tricks other than just putting in the hours, putting in the reps.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of like asking if there are any tips and tricks to get over being sore when you first start working out. Not really! I mean, yeah, you can get a massage and it might help a little bit. But really you’re just going to be sore. And until you do it enough, you’re always going to be sore.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the best tip I have is make it a regular routine. Make it so you’re no longer a newbie.<\/p>\n
