Largest Barrier of Entry for First-Time Investors?

[Paul Rodriguez]

As an individual who works with a variety of investors at all different levels in the game... and sees multiple many investment opportunities a month. I started this thread to look more closely at what holds back first-time investors from beginning to invest.

Is it lack of connections? Lack of access to deals? Limiting self-beliefs or unrealistic expectations?
