@Mark Brennan some lenders will trigger the due on sale clause.

Like hire a VA to check everyday for properties that just turned 120 days old.Secret: I always set my triggers to slightly less to jump ahead of what everyone has been taught.For instance, using the 120 day trigger like I suggested, I might set it to 117 days.Or investors use the 1% rule...

I'm currently looking and I'm just not sure what percentage is a good one to pull the trigger.

The final loan amount went down to $78k.Rate lock extended from 30 to 50 days.Credit score did not changeLTV of 75% did not changeWould any of these events trigger an increase in the loan points charged? 

But I also want to be able to pull the trigger right away if the right opportunity comes. 

After you've worked with me before and proved that you can pull the trigger, I'm happy to spend more time on you and not the 3 other people that want hour-long phone conversations today that will never go anywhere.

Your first option is going to trigger a ton of taxes, and commissions paid to realtors upon sale are also going to eat a ton into your investment growth.As with any investment, it usually makes sense to keep your money there until a better investment opportunity shows itself.

But typically nobody calls them back after “putting together an offer”Try to stand out from other tire kickers as a true investor ready to pull the trigger...

interesting thoughts about builders taking their fingers off the trigger, but I’ll bet there’s going to be some big gamblers here and there.

I would investigate the local economics (housing permits pulled, economic development plans, community engagement, etc.) before you pull the trigger in any market.
