She gets fearful before we make any large decisions/purchases and it is not uncommon for us to have a spat right before we pull the trigger on something we have BOTH been planning.Fact is, real estate is something to be taken very seriously and whenever you are taking bets with your present and future, it is quite stressful, even if it is fun at the same.

@David Having lived in a city where it is not uncommon for an intersection to have 5-6 bandit signs stuck in the ground or plastered on telephone/light poles, it is hard to fell sympathetic to cherry picked examples.

Jonny, simu closings in CA are almost impossible, I heard of an investor on this board who claimed to have known a company that would, but never confirmed it was true (I really didn't care one way or the other as it is not something I need).As far as assignments of contract, I don't see how a title company could refuse, it is not illegal or uncommon and it happens all the time here in CA, so to answer your question, Yes, you can find many title companies who can assist in the assignment of contract.

Also it's not uncommon to see 50+ offers on MLS deals right now.Yeah Milwaukee is supposed to be decent right now and it's on my radar but there are deals in Chicago you just need to expand your farm.Where on the SW side ?

The negativity isn't uncommon.
