Plus there is a new wave of residents wanting to live in the downtown area.

But you said it best, it's about what risk is worth taking and I will need to figure out if I want to stress a little more or relax and ride the wave. 

It comes in waves and droughts so keep your powder dry.   

Waving from TN! 

Agent/Property Managers don't walk away from the closing table and wave goodbye; we enter a relationship with that house and a longterm relationship with the owner.  

Of course because this is California, you would have to give them the option to either wave last months rents, or cut a check equivalent to last months tent.Lmk what your status is and what you ended up doing :).Btw the lawyer I spoke to is based in SD as well.

Pass on any needy or desperate people or ones waving cash wanting to move in immediately. 

My offer structure (2 options I'm working on): Cash-offer: Offer: $100k above asking price plus $6700 escalation for up to $125K above asking price Earnest money: $200K fully released 2 days after acceptance Closing: 10 days Wave: Inspection, Appraisal, Title and Financing contingencies.

Also, most DSTs have a 100k min, but that's a number the sponsor can wave. 

We have had the property inspected, professionally cleaned, fixed, etc so its frustrating to hear these waves of complaints in such a short time.They are scrubbing every nook and cranny in between areas and then saying its dirty.
