Does anyone know of any real estate brokers in California that offers the MLS-only membership as I don't want to pay all the extra fees to be a part of CAR/NAR.

But don't let this guy take advantage of you, you have a business to run after all....you need the money, your family needs the money. 

I Enjoyed the extra viewpoint.

Then it's them unable to sell in the money, and buy a new one cause rates locked up the previous buyers.The 1st point is the real state of unemployment.

Instead of tying up a huge chunk of capital upfront, you can leverage a lower down payment and let your money work for you elsewhere.          3. 

I do not have much money and I am looking for a deal.

My goal for 2025 is to complete 50+ transactions and collaborate with even more people in this community.If you’re a private money lender, investor, or fellow enthusiast feel free to reach out.

You have NO leverage, no matter what he builds or does not build, except for the developer saving some money in legal fees and cutting down on mesne profits damages.

Electrical work was done in the past 10 years, all romex.I don't feel so confident about this deal since my last deal was 350k purchase price, 100k in renovation and 700k sale price but I need some place to park my money.

Since prices are so cheap, you don't need to worry about hard money.
