If not, no big deal, We at least gave it our best shot."

He went to a gun shop came back to his work place shot his manager, president and HR director on account of his multiple investment properties he could not afford.

Hey Jason, I shot you a PM so we can continue this discussion.

I knew there was no shot that it would appraise. 

They countered back and asked if I would just buy it for the $123K in one shot.

Maybe I'll give them another shot.

Bay area suffered /  NOrthern CA suffered some pretty severe down turn in 1989 to 1992.. and it was not until about 97 that values got back to where they peaked.. then they shot up until dot com bubble and that was a blip.. then screamed up until 08 like everywhere else. 

I am a addict when it comes to deals and look several times a day in my local market and missed some great deals how ever in my market I would suggest a duplex because in my city everyone works at the heart of it and the land here is just used up so its prime rentals either way I go home value has shot up as there is just no more land to build on unless you go out of town so SFH are overly priced so its a ruff cash flow, for me   I will be doing a duplex for following reasons 1 more doors = more safety if a moves out b is still helping to cover my payment 2 its still 1 roof 3 I control the value of said property if I really make it diamonds = raising the rent to the cap it controls the value of said property.

To help you focus, I'll give you a snap shot of what I look for, it may work for you, I don't know for sure but it works great for me.  

Thanks will give it a shot.
