Reading over everyones responses I also believe that word is a trigger for a lot of us, myself included. 

Am I better off just pulling the trigger and getting into the market instead of wasting time continuing to rent to find the perfect deal that may never come along?

You may trigger an alert for someone that's out there to pop in and help. 

The key to Marketplace advertising is using keywords to trigger alerts for local people so they see the advertisement.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a wave of changes in commercial real estate investing.

I would be interested to hear what taxes it would trigger...if at all?

Ideally buying out the third partner's interest would not trigger a 'sale' and a change in the basis for the remaining two partners. 

In my case the ADU triggers upgrade requirements to the rest of the structure,  making it cost waaay more than just the additional unit would cost by itself. 

This will not trigger "due on sale" clauses. 

I can explain why in more detail if you like to talk about it.All good questions but please be careful not to fall into the "analysis - paralysis trap".I recommend getting support from a mentor and together developing an action plan rather than aiming to learn everything yourself before you pull the trigger on the first deal.
