I have spent basically all of this year procrastinating to break my apartment lease and pull the trigger on my first investment, now that the trigger is pulled, what should I do during these 8 months of waiting for my investment to get done being built? 

After years of saving and getting settled in my new career, the trigger was pulled on buying my first home. 

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on m first STR.

If you're looking to pull the trigger let's say this year just wait until the purchase is complete.

This house needed work on the lower unit but the ARV will bring it to about $420k which would make it an awesome BRRRR and I was even about to pull the trigger and buy it myself.Anyway, what I'm trying to convey with the above example is there ARE deals here, you just need to know the right people especially in the competitive market we're in today.

Most of the time Seller will know if they have been receiving a special tax exemption because of the current use (most often agriculturally related) and Seller will then need to consider if the new rezoning and intended use will cause a loss of that exemption, therefore triggering a collection of "rollback taxes". 

In Quickbooks(Desktop) it is a manual process to trigger the statement charges to be entered monthly from the memorized transactions and then go through each one to execute the Direct Debit. 

If people don't have experience you may not get an answer but a better title will hopefully trigger the right audience. 

I pulled the trigger on the loan before I had a deal line up and the cash just sat there for three months.

Give me some more details I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm hopeful!
