@Sam Abe From the picture I cannot tell if those are just scratches or if the floor has been gouged.  

@Sam LeonReality is dramatized.In my area there are not many homes about $1 million.

My best advise would be to try and leverage your cash as much as you can while you are still on uncle sam's payroll.

@Upen Patel - sams bank came back and said they can use Fannie for up to six.

Another good time is right around the time Uncle Sam comes calling!

@Sam Josh  Actually as it relates to the SF bay area the worse crash since the depression was NOT 08 it was 89 to 1991.you had 50% devaluation of real estate in many parts of the bay area SF included.. in 08 you only had 10 to 20% price roll back in SF and peninsula..

What I learned is that Uncle Sam loves you to be successful and have sort term gains like Fix & Flip .

@Sam C. yeah, we all hope it stops raining there as well based on that post ;-) 

Take advantage of the biggest tax break Uncle Sam offers.
