I would pull the trigger.  

It is for you to decide… but hopefully you do pull a trigger soon.

Continue to look for partners to work on locking in a profitable STR deal or learn more about propetry managment to raise funds before going into investing?

We have a down payment but I’m a pretty risk adverse person so I’d likely wait to save up more to put down before pulling the trigger.

Now I can say I’ve almost come full circle.During lock down last year I spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos and stumbled across an Australian (Lindsay Stewart) who was acquiring US properties remotely.I have been investing in property since 2007 but had never had anyone walk me through the process of how to successfully invest remotely.After months of due diligence I acquired a property in Roseville, MI from (having never been to that state let alone that city).I was able to buy it deeply discounted, with a tenant in place only doing minimum delayed maintenance items - 500 spent.The asset is generating a 10.2% net yield and once I carry out a cosmetic renovation that will increase to 16.2% net yield!

Offer it to the first approved applicant and give them 24 hours to pay the deposit and lock it in.

Hope that all helps and good luck on locking in your house hack!

I have a property in Milwaukee that I am looking to do a cash out refi for and am trying to figure out how to lock down calculating the ARV.

I think I'll see if I can have a plumber come take a professional look at the drains before I pull the trigger, if I'm still able to.

Tell them they can lock in the property If the sign a lease that, for example, starts on Dec 7.
