Hi Paul,Time the market, ride the wave correctly and get out before you even have the chance of falling (because most people who fall get eaten by sharks as tasty Seal Meat, and the Dolphins are too far out to save you--playing happily in the sun.)

If you can ride that fine line of "persistent" without being "obnoxious," call the attorneys office to get updates.

If the cash flow works, then let it ride until you are satisfied the value is where you want it to be before you sell it.

It's an easy bike ride from where I live (near goat and compass) thanks Oliver!

Where else can you brewery hop with your dogs, eat the best ever Thai food from within a hut placed amongst gardens and flowing fountains, catch a ghost sighting within the historical downtown then run out and ride a killer wave and probably be greeted by some dolphins while you're at it!

On the way down entire industries blossomed and boomed, at the bottom, and on ride up.

Day night and all in between looking for ANYTHING that could be a red flag (gangbangers, graffiti, broken windows etc) When I see kids riding bikes, fruit vendors on the corner, you know its not super terrible. 

The question is do you ride out the next real estate dip?

The issue is, from my understanding he does not fully recognize all the rehab that needs to be done to be compared to housing prices nearby (600k~).I do not want to take this guy for a ride, but I also do not want to overpay, all while trying to be respectful when making an offer.

I am not a huge fan of it because the buyer gets taken for a ride all across the board.
