I too am looking for my first property and just about ready to pull the trigger.

Does right now make sense to pull the trigger?

This allows us as purchasers to take title to the real estate without changing the legal owner of the real estate and triggering a property tax reassessment.

@Daniel Mellon The most important thing to educate yourself as much as you can prior to pulling the trigger.

I’ve been interested in RE investing for several years, as I’ve found that I’m good at digging up opportunities and closing, and I enjoy crunching numbers and analyzing problems.I’m interested in meeting people who have set up private money / private equity deals in the past, especially if it involved single-family residential buy-and-hold strategy.I’m also looking at pulling the trigger on the local Lifestyles Unlimited seminar, because I have a lot to learn, and also because I want access to what Lifestyles considers “best practices” in what will be my market.I’m happy to hear all sides of any idea and my hobbies include playing devil’s advocate and drumming at my local church.

Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh.  

Good luck, and i'm super duper analytical and trying to be paralyzed but also make the proper decision and pull the trigger, luckily I moved from my first home and turned that into a rental. 

As many have probably experienced, you'll conduct your "research" and find favorable possibilities and still be hesitant to pull the trigger.

Always the possibility it will trigger a due on sale.

Since SSA is actuarially neutral, there's no reason to delay entitlement, especially since it'll only pay ~75% of current benefit ~2032, if not reformed.While this seems to eliminate flips, thought I'd test the waters here for ideas on how to keep flipping with compensation, without triggering trouble.
