I'm curious if you pulled the trigger on any properties and if so, what your experience was.

, and I'm hoping that market knowledge will help me once I'm able to actually pull the trigger on this whole thing. 

@darylluc I agree I don't want to trigger any taxable event.

I'm working to reconcile real-world advice with the text books.Here's the balancing act: don't take too long to pull the trigger on my first property, but go into that first deal armed with knowledge and education.Keep the advice a-comin'!

I appealed by triggering the Tidewater Clause, which gives all parties 72 hours to submit data to support a different appraisal amount. 

I've driven for dollars, taken aerial photos with my drown, found wholesale deals, ran numbers on flips and BRRR's for these guys that I thought would make good investments they just never want to pull the trigger.

Just note, doing this *could* trigger a due on sale clause from your lender, meaning if it is in your loan paperwork and they care enough, they could call your note due since you "sold" (read - transferred) the property to someone else.  

It could be an option to accelerate the amount you have for reserves so you can feel comfortable pulling the trigger on a new home.

Way to pull the trigger to take action!

I needed that little push to get me to pull the trigger.
