Probably the current state of the market. Nothing I look at has any hope of being a cash flow positive rental under even the best assumptions, and even appreciation is unlikely to correct that in the next 3-5 years. So while I am saving and watching the market carefully to know what a deal looks like I feel its unlikely I will be able to make one.

One of the biggest frustration getting started was the weak mindset as an investor and panicking every time my tenant called for a repair. I would leave everything and go fix it without having any knowledge on repairs. It was after listening and reading a lot about real estate that I was able to overcome this fear and start using leverage to operate my properties. Within 2 years of listening to Bigger Pockets podcast, I have been able to scale to 15 units.
