@Caleb Heimsoth I could have been the bass player for Guns N’ Roses.

Because appreciation plays are all speculative and should be left to experienced players who can afford to be wrong.Yes, you will make way more money on appreciation in the long run, but it works both ways.

Serious players in the trophy market and luxury condo sector are not “BAM”ing it.

However I am father of three kids and two of them are very talented soccer players in San Diego which I wanted to support and enable them more chances of success, that is the reason why I was looking into financial independence. 

Now in regards to the databases that have alot of information on you then lexusnexis would be a big player.

Your Agent may not like it but she/he is still a player in this one and will be more so if there is litigation.I know hindsight is 20/20 but you really should have invested in hiring an attorney who could have told you whether or not you had a legal/contractual right to cancel and would have created a paper trail of how and when those rights were communicated to the Seller.You stated: "I thought it was all done until I got a call from the agent today asking if he can give the lawyer my number."

I think it's maybe a combination of impatience, the fix and flip tv shows and need for more education about the process and the players.

You have some valid points, but I'd argue some of them are not quite relevant to this conversation.Let me start this by saying I'm a high stakes professional poker player, so I'm quite aware when somebody "doesn't get it".

The first guests were baseball players coming into town for the season to play for a minor league team and the second group was a set of interns that would just be in the area for a semester.

I had a San Jose Earthquakes (soccer) rep approach me about a rental for a new player from an African country.
