Show notes

Guarding Against Paralysis By Analysis Nov 07, 2021

Show notes

It’s hard to make important life decisions. But it’s even worse to avoid them. In buying a mobile home park, at some point in the diligence cycle you will have to make the choice to go forward or not. Many buyers can’t get these steps completed because they won’t stop second-guessing their decisions or agreeing that they have even completed their calculations. This is called “paralysis by analysis” – basically avoiding making decisions using the excuse that you are still working on the answer until the opportunity passes. In this episode of Mobile Home Park Mastery podcast we’re going to drill down on the sources of this indecision and putting together a framework to help bring it to an end.
