If you gotta pay a licensed general contractor to come out and do every little thing you will go belly up in short order .

@Lee Bell I just was offered an engineering position yesterday!

In the DMV you show up with your fat deposit and then if you are the winning bidder you have X days to close with X ranging from 15 to whenever the court ratifies the sale, depending on where the property is located.

And, don't forget the new people they hire will start with a much lower total compensation package and when the time comes, they will let go those people that started with a fat Bay Area salary.I don't disagree with you that a lot people will move out of Bay Area, but at end of day, people like SF Bay Area/New York, they will always be the hubs of the world at least in next 50 years.

Office space is going to be fat that gets trimmed to help keep companies afloat.

If your processes are running tight then you are prepared to handle situations when contractors go belly up on you.

Man I have to agree with you, some buyers are like that, but of you list is fat as all heck, while he is waiting for someone to turn on the utilities, someone else is at the closing table with cash in hand.

Fat checks and fast cash is my motivation.

(Which court talk for you're a big fat liar!)
