You need to look at a bunch of properties before you should pull the trigger on one. 

I was 21 when I pulled the trigger to buy my 1st property and successfully qualified for a mortgage at the best rate. 

How do I insure the property without triggering a due clause or having to refinance it?

In my area there has been enough supply that I can find/get a deal on market, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet, even though there has be ~3 in the last month that would have been decent deals, on market. 

It retains the same assets, it retains the same owners, it merely changes its election for taxation, so this is a non taxable event triggering neither gain nor loss. 

This may trigger déjà vu for those who watched the Austin market in Q4 of 2020 as inventory diminished and demand for housing only increased.

I have been learning this craft for about a year and I feel like I'm ready to pull the trigger on my first deal.

Some suggestions - make sure it doesn’t have to be raised, get a flood insurance quote, brush up on the rules around improvements (below 50% rule or it triggers FEMA’s new guidelines).

Very close to pulling the trigger on a OOS rental somewhere between SA and Austin.
