I found your other post and the average rehab cost to get a property back on the market was very helpful as well ($1400 every 18 months is pretty close to my estimate of 2% of property cost at $980 per year so I’m glad I’m in the ballpark).Let me ask you both, at some point purchasing for buy and hold in this area would be worth it (at an extreme example, any of us would pull the trigger if it only cost $1), so what would it take to make this deal look positive in your books?

I am about to pull the trigger on two houses in Baltimore city.

The biggest thing though is like what the BiggerPockets community says a lot: "just pull the trigger."

Obviously you want to be as prepared as possible, but the only way to make anything happen and to have any success it to pull the trigger and try to get a deal done!

I feel that people tend to shy away from someone whom hasn't attempt/pulled the trigger yet. 

When you look at the numbers, take ALL numbers into consideration before you pull the trigger. 

Luke Aubut and Shara Surabi Transferring title can trigger the Due on Sale Clause.

I have found a few deals here and there but I would love to have property managers, contractors, and real estate agent relationships built before pulling the trigger.

I have 32k saved up , should I pull the trigger ?

This is something that I have grown increasingly aware of and believe in; that there will always be unknowns for your first deal, there will always be reasons why you "shouldn't yet", and I just feel as though I've almost gotten myself to a tipping point of just pulling the trigger (obviously once I've run the numbers and believe I've found a good deal).
