If they don't fix your issues in a day or two (meaning they realize the significance and the potential for massive adverse effects on their livelihoods, you'll probably never get your money.

Here is how I see it: One of the factors needed for Hyper Inflation is for the supply to money to massively outstrip the demand(either through deficit spending or supply shock), think post WWI Germany.

Hey Rachel, It sounds like you've already taken massive steps toward your goal and are getting a lot of the education you need to succeed.

@Chad Dunham the last thing you want to do is buy a multi $100k asset that performs poorly because you didn't want to be a bother to someone, speak up at least to the broker and say it isn't clicking with the agent, they can try to find you another agent, let you go, or be a massive pain (which is unlikely because their business runs on referrals and reputation).

I also got my real estate license at age 23 and learned massive amounts of priceless information about the industry through experience and by sitting through every Keller Williams training class possible.

The key is massive action.

But I see condos are going way below asking price ( even up to to 300k below asking price )   Although it is my primary residence I though it might be a good investment to sell at max in Danville and buy a condo with massive price cut at SF .

Plus all of my properties easily cash flow and have great top shelf tenants, but that was attributable to really good timing, property and property management selections, and ignoring the strategy Du Jour in favor of time tested hard solid analysis and sage advice (Buffet/Munger). 

The one thing that concerns me is the massive job layoffs down here.

Applying consistent, professional tenant screening and being strict about your lease will prevent > 90% of problems, and buying in an area where good tenants want to live will massively help you quickly find qualified tenants.
