What comes out is a glass of red koolaid with no ice, a dry piece of boneless chicken breast, grilled and slightly burnt, with white rice and a Brussel sprouts.

I didn't want to pull the trigger just yet on finding a new CPA as I've usually been handling everything on my own. 

Take out the larger loan to pull the trigger on a rental in KS City AND do the addition, or focus on the addition first.

But depending on your location, if you transfer the property into a different LLC, you could trigger transfer tax - which depending on the amount of the taxes could make it cost prohibitive. 

If not, then I would pay down/off the truck and then sit in cash (dry powder) and wait for the right deal

Other times: I have a good deal but don’t pull the Trigger due to thinking “well if it’s a good deal, why is it still available?

Not knocking the teachers but the books I have read by the those who only teach were a little too dry and sterile for my style, just my 2 pennies worth of advice. 

You should get pre-qualified and let them know your intentions so you will be ready to pull the trigger when you find an opportunity.

Then if a stabilized deal whether an apartment or shopping center the plan to is dry some costs down, and focus on yearly bumps.

I’m financed and ready to go but haven’t felt like I’ve come across the right deal yet so I haven’t pulled the trigger.
