Requiring a 120k household income isn't that hard when you make nearly that by yourself, and it's more common than not for tech workers to have more than one earner in the home.You gotta remember a lot of people here are used to paying a bunch of money for housing so they are less sensitive to high mortgage or rent.

From what the PM's have said, its very easy to get good tenants there and they stay for a longer period and can afford to pay those prices rather than tenants on the eastside that are more sensitive to economic factors.  

I want to be sensitive but not miss a deal and this is my first attempt.  

i was probably a bit over-sensitive, to be fair.that said, it should 'scare' you in some respects, having never used it before.  

It's not a conflict of interest but you shouldn't disclose to the listing agent any sensitive information because they are obligated to convey it to their client - the seller.They already signed the listing agreement with the seller who became their client and they owe the seller certain fiduciary duties.When you contact the listing agent, you become a customer, that's why the agent must have you signed "Agency disclosure":seller and buyer both have to agree that the agent represents their interests.However, for a customer it's only treating you fair and disclose material facts about safety.Unless you know this business really great and can negotiate your terms, I'd get my own selling agent - and it's free.

Their attorneys will make the minimum bid and then let it go.I'd go and see how the sale is going, especially if you know for sure what others don't (interior in details, other sensitive info)

@Alexander Felice- I'm the sensitive, salty one? 

Filburn is not relevant to this issue... that case has to do with the regulation of agricultural produce.. an issue the US government is extremely sensitive about.

These applicants also weren't price-sensitive.  

The 3rd Deal Purchased 5-2-17: The second deal from my wholesaler was not a time sensitive situation and I was able to wait the 20-35 days to do a normal close with my lender.
