Any new loan will most probably condition for an explanation for the inquiry; my guess is this wont go over well with the new lender. 

I understand that you wont be getting a "deal" with turnkey, but I think what I was concerned with was that the listed price was well above what Zillow/Trulia suggested that property specifically was worth, and the range of prices for that neighborhood. 

Oakland is another story Not sure you can compare to Sf the crime there is pretty nasty I used to work in downtown Oakland and it was fine in the 80s  Now I wont even go there..

Hire someone cheap and you'll suffer for it.If you are "breaking even" after all expenses and maintenance, then you probably can't afford to pay a professional to handle the marketing and screening.

"We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment"- Jim Rohn...One of my favorite people :)

Of course with myself that simply wont happen :)  I am very straight forward with my business anyone in our business has had bummer deals and lost money myself included..

The other issue we have going on when you compare us trying to build and the big boys, they build cheaper and faster and get better pricing.. the only way my project works is I am doing semi custom working with the buyers at a level the big builders simply wont do  its a hybrid and consequently we are getting 50 to 200k more per house sq ft being the same but it cost us more to build and takes us longer..

a few builders have done cottage clusters in PDX.. market is not accepting them and as such you wont see many more since they are not penciling out.
