One of those things that typically give me a lot of analysis paralysis back when I started was this little phrase in the listing that says, "As-is, seller not willing to make any repairs to the property." And so that held me back from ever buying properties or ever making offers until I figured out that that really doesn't mean anything.

Because what's happened for me 100% of the time is I'll make the offer on an "as-is house" and then I get the inspection report and guess what? I asked the seller for $10,000 worth of repairs or a $2,000 credit or whatever. Just because something says "as-is" doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take that face value.

And that's something that I think a lot of people miss when they're buying their first or second or third property.
