It gets eisier after the first deal?
I have heard so many investors tell people that "It gets eisier after the first deal", I hate to ruin the party but it gets NO easier. I have bought and sold $10,000,000+ in property, and it never gets eisier.
I will agree that it does "Seem" to get eisier. The main thing to keep in mind is that the deals don't ever get eisier. Your reaction to doing deals becomes far less negative and worrysome, but the deals never change.
Keep in mind that the same deal that seems "Stressful" to a newbie is a walk in the park for a seasoned investor. This shows that a deal is always just a deal, it is what you do inside your head that makes things seem difficult.
If you havent got past your "What if" voices, and onto making money, then go to work on your head, not to work on more investing books. I bet there are many newbies in the forums that are more knowledgable than many of the investors that I know. The difference is that too many Newbies "know what to do", but they don't "Do what they know".
