What holds back investors from going all in on a property?

Question

Im an agent that helps in assisting investors with acquiring properties for fix and flips and buy and holds. I take care of my investors to the best of my abilities in assisting them in anything that they need. whether it be getting contractors, plumbers, roofer, etc. I just want to know what might hold back investors, especially first time investors, from just diving in. I also answer any questions regarding anything in real estate investment!

My biggest limiter I am having trouble overcoming is the ability to secure a contractor that will promptly and thoroughly do the work. Gives me nightmares thinking i may have to switch contractors mid job. Seems they all have so much work to handle that if I have to wait in line for my projects, then ill rack up a month or two holding costs with no work done. Plus the numbers of course have to have some wiggle room to not scare me off. I think experienced investors have these systems in place to where they have less likelihood of incurring a loss on projects.

I'd like to say I am student to real estate because i'm learning something new everyday. I would even be glad helping them by showing them what their numbers would look like and presenting them their profit; for example if they use cash or hard money.

Hey @Gabriel H. Gaytan, I'm in the same boat as you so I'm wondering what others have to say.  In my experience, new investors tell me that the deal isn't good enough.  I'm not sure if that is actually true or not but that is what so many are telling me.  Meanwhile, other investors are purchasing those properties and making money with them.
