What can I do while I wait?

Good day everyone! Long story short I am investing out of state and I have money wrapped up in a CD fund for another month. This money is going to go towards my down payment for my first property, I just have to wait for it.

I am in contact with a real estate agent and a PM and am basically ready to go. I have two banks that I can get a good conventional loan through although I have not gotten an official quote yet. My agent sends me MLS listings and I analyze them and become more familiar with the market.

With the background out of the way, what else can I do to feel useful until I have these funds in the following month? I’d hate to just sit and wait it out. What can I do besides research (I do a lot of that) to help prepare me?

Thanks again and love this community!

If you will be ready to rock in a month, what the heck- why not start making offers and include a closing date that aligns with your schedule? If nothing else, you'll really be digging in and alayzing those deals.
