This does not mean I have to stay in this area as I am licensed for the entire state of Washington.I come across what looks to be good deals and I am looking to network with investors that are not afraid to pull the trigger if the numbers work.  

be careful if you take the loan in your personal name and then Quit Claim to a LLC it can trigger a Due on Sale clause, probably wont, but can, You are way better off with a Commercial Lender, mine will do 80%LTV at 4.5% 3 year term at 15 year AMM, my choice to go 15, he would go longer if i needed to.

For that reason I pulled the trigger on the first deal but obviously want to mitigate mistakes as I move forward.

So many newbie investors never pull the trigger.

Thinking about pulling the trigger. 

Any sale triggers a potential tax event.  

The next step is for me to sign an financing agreement and pay an non-refundable underwriting fee, so I'd like to make sure everything looks above board before I pull the trigger.

Be sure to understand the tax implications before pulling the trigger.

,Just curious, did you end up pulling the trigger on the Parkside multi unit?

If my numbers make since then I try  to find reasons not to pull trigger.
