Run your numbers and if they look ok, pull the trigger and take action. 

Procuring cause would apply with the old Nonexclusive agency agreement that isn't used any longer because since there was no time frame involved the procuring cause was the trigger to tie an buyer to that agent for a commission.

Also, when using a wholesaler, I put a deposit in escrow so they knew I was serious and could pull the trigger quickly.

@Josephine Ramesh,Any updates if you ever pull the trigger on getting a lake front property in Hiawassee?

The time has now come that my wife and I are finally ready to pull the trigger on our first property - a residential multi-family in the Milwaukee area.At the same time, I've been experiencing severe burnout and unsustainable amounts of overtime at my day job (60+ hours/wk for months).

Risk Assessment: Consider vacancy rates, potential repairs, and unexpected expenses.Once you're comfortable analyzing a few deals, you’ll be in a great spot to pull the trigger on your first property.If you need help with financing or want advice on what options might work for you, feel free to reach out.

Specifically will this property require a secondary form of egress and if so, can the architect provide this in building permit  plans and does the change of use trigger the need for an NFPA 13R sprinkler system?

I've been interested in real estate since Carlton Sheets but never pulled the trigger. 

@Karl Kauper going to guess your current PMC:1) Is having too many tenant nonpayment issues for your likingAnd/or2) Refusing to share their background checks with you, so you can make your own approval decisions to address #1 above.Several factors may be at play here that you may want to consider before being trigger-happy:1) For several legal and contractual reasons, it's pretty much NOT possible for a PMC to share background checks with an owner. 2) What Class of property do you own?

Don’t give them the address of the property as this might trigger an event that will cause change.
