How can I be proactive when I'm buying a home?

[Alec Jacobs]

I'm a newbie real estate investor and I'm in contract of buying my first rental property. I have turned in all the paperwork that they have requested and I have gone through my inspections and I was wondering what steps can I take to be proactive? 

I feel like I'm just waiting for the process to move along and I want to take action but I am a bit lost as to what I can really do. I am househacking this property so I do plan on moving out for the first time as well.

I know this is a pretty vague question but any insight would be awesome. Thanks!
