Took some time here to figure some types out, but we have had some give bad advice on purpose just as mischief having fun, pushing buttons.I do hope every one is successful and makes a good living, but really, I don't want bad apples in the business.

But I think investors outside CA and other higher value markets aren't comparing apples to apple.

This is the most expensive house in my area at $850,000Organic Apple & Pear orchard.

I am inclined to charge a nominal for additional rent to add a party but if they push back, you may have to let it go.Screening new party is non-negotiable.If you want to keep them, this might be a good chance to get them to sign for another year and just let the bad apple out.

Needless to say, I ran out of there so fast...but, at least I got a free sandwich, apple, chips, and drink...lol.Do not do it...do not pay for resources and education in this field; get your money back if you can...BP is the way to go as a guide.

Its just sad a few bad apples spoil the bin for all of us.

You need to know a couple of things to make an offer:1) The "comps" - what did similar houses sell for recently (need a real estate agent partner to get these from MLS)2) The repairs needed on the subject propertyTo make it an apples-to-apples comparison, you need to understand the comp values in "$ per square foot" so you can apply that to your subject property.
