It's impossible to hold schedules in CA anymore unless it's very basic.

I love this thread, because some of the comments are only one step away from announcing a "new paradigm" or a "phase shift" in real estate, where - because of liquidity in the market, new discoveries of uranium in Russia, and theta divided by beta over alpha - it is impossible for real estate ever to down again, so we all must pile in before it's too late and we're priced out forever!!!!

Here in California on a 1200 square-foot house it’s almost impossible to have a “good fire” (that’s what we call it) that is less than $100K in damages if it’s a complete gut to the studs, with even minimal structural damage would be over $100k.

But yes, finding deals where refinancing your deposit back and still cash flowing positively can be difficult - but not impossible!

You're right, I was considering buying a primary residence out here for my family and I to add to my (small) portfolio, but I figured with the cost of home sout here, it'll be almost impossible to cash flow.

IT is almost impossible to rescind the sale. 

Its definitely more difficult to find good deals in HarCo then in Baltimore, but not at all impossible.  

Very true, it is nearly impossible to build affordable housing in many places.

@Jacob GallupNot impossible, but usually you must not have owned a property in the last 3 years to be considered for an FHA loan.

@Richelle BryanNot impossible, but doesn't usually happen.in a one pony town, maybe.
