It's another to actually pull the trigger on your very first property.

Over the years I've bought and sold plenty of flips and rentals but I'm kicking myself for all those years I never pulled the trigger on utilizing the owner occupied financing.

But as I'm getting better with analyzing deals and seeing real good deals I want to pull the trigger on.

And this is all BEFORE you come close to putting an offer in on a property.Take your time and trust yourself to do the necessary ground-work before you pull the trigger.

@Jennifer T.Yes bringing a contractor in is a good idea, but there not going to waste there time looking at many properties without you pulling the trigger.  

Have some some cash to spend but still educating myself to pull the trigger.

The titles of job positions in this area that appeal to me are: processor, auditor, underwriter, closing coordinator, closing facilitator, credit analyst, compliance specialist and operations assistant.

Miscalculating these items can be the difference between having a healthy cash flowing asset and a nuisance/ liability that you regret pulling the trigger on.John

Why not wait until the lease is up, pull the trigger on changes to the property and lease terms offered and let the chips fall.

I set a goal of $500 clear per SFH and held firm on background checks, reference checks, FICO numbers and lease compliance.
