But let's just say "offense is the best defense".

That's our little Detroit, (no offense Detroiters, just trying to draw a distinction between your place and ours!)

I'd do my best to stoke up a bidding war and let him tell me what concessions his side is prepared to make.From what I'm reading it sounds like you were in a routine negotiation and you seem to have taken offense that the other side wanted a better deal.  

No offense but California is unlike anywhere else.

Also how offensive is it to come in with a low ball offer at 125000, after I have contacted agent at 160000 he says 3 or 4 people showing lots of interest but im sure they all say that.

I am going to make some generalizations here, and they are going to be sweeping, don't take offense if you fit into some other category.

No offense (and I could be wrong), but the way you said that (and the fact that you've only been a member since yesterday) leads me to believe that you didn't really spend much time listening to the podcasts, reading the blog or reading through old threads.You will likely find it a lot more easy to find a mentor if you have a good base of knowledge and the mentor has confidence that you've worked hard to learn as much as possible before asking someone to spend time helping you.

No offense, but it's not necessary as I'd say they know what they are doing and if either makes a mistake, it's covered.The notice of legal action is irrelevant if you're buying it.

Yesterday when I came to talk to him about raising his rent to market value $1,800 mostly he went crazy, he was offensive and very pushy, now I don't want him there not even if he paid $5,000 a month.

My concerns are the following:1) I've never owned a condo and the idea of an HOA scares me2) I'm buying this from a "pushy" wholesaler (no offense to wholesalers) who wants to close quickly and not allow me to have an inspection period.
