I like doing my research and really understanding before pulling the trigger.  

Hey guys and gals,I am ready to pull the trigger on my first investment property.

But I never pulled the trigger on a deal.

I am posting an ad on Craigslist now, but before I pull the trigger, what advice can you guys provide?  

The obvious thing to me is that you are not communicating for specific triggers; problems that you identify and agitate in order to direct the recipient to take a particular action such as to call you.Also, your card is pretty boring.

Their thought process can also be skewed by a subjective approach in trying to massage the numbers to meet what they see as the price needed to get the deal which may include an underestimated budget or inflated exit that is not a true comp.

My oppinion in West Michigan is be ready to pull the trigger.

A rate increase may trigger the move but the reality is tenants are already thinking about moving before the increase and would have moved anyway.

Thanks it'd be my first deal and I'm still hesitant on pulling the trigger on deals. 

I don't want to think small, I want to dive in with the mentality of a 'big investor' and start out with my I's dotted and T's crossed.No I'm not using this to slow me down, I'm going to pull the trigger very soonThanks in advance for your advice
