I would love something focused on numbers.

I am open also to suggestions about interesting readings about the subject like articles,etc.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

after the close of escrow the buyer found out that the installation of the AC units has not been performed properly. It was part of the Request for Repair. We waived the final walk through, according to the buyer will. I told the buyer that there is nothing we can request at this point to the seller.

What are your thoughts about it? 

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the best or your favorite book/pdf/online guide/tutorial to master the residential RE transaction from both sides (buyer and seller) as agent in California.

Any type of advice is welcome!

Hello,

My client changed his mind about the deal before the earnest money are wired to the escrow account.

Can he back out?

Thanks!

@Clark Kirkpatrick thanks for the reply! Well it is Orange County, CA so you can rent out a room and bath (depending on the area) between 600 and 900. Monthly payment with 3% down is about 2300-2400, so realistically you have to pay out of pocket around 1600 to 1800 a month. And that’s almost your monthly payment if you buy a 1+1 with 3% down.

My question was more if it is a better investment in terms of appreciation to buy a 2+2 or 2+1 instead of a 1+1.

What are your thoughts about 1bed/1bath condo versus 2bed/2bath?

My client is debated between buying a 2+2 and renting one of the room or buying a 1+1.

My take is that the price difference is too thin to justify the difference in utility and versatility. A no brainer to me: I would go just for a 2bed/2bath.

Thanks
