@Sam Shueh my rate of acceptance is much lower, maybe 10% if not less, but I do have very strong cash buyers and the listing agent doesn't have the right to not work with a presented offer.Yes, I've got all that "it's a joke", no answers etc - but the listing agent has to submit my offer to the seller.You'll be surprised to learn how unacceptable low offers are accepted sometimes.I'll give you one example: the house was priced in high $700K, I made an offer for $539K, get that "it's a joke?!?"

Thank you @Sam Shueh I'm also in high tech and have similar income to the professionals.

Hey @Sam Josh yes I haven insurancd but not worth the hassle going through the insurance company.

@Tim Gordon @Jerryll Noorden @Sam Craven@David Friedman@Adrien S.

I work for Uncle Sam full time and invest on the side.

just because you can Cost Segregation at an accelerated rate on taxes doesnt mean the actual useable lifespan is the same as Uncle Sam Allows you to depreciate it for.

@nic stergion   @Arlen Chou@Sam Josh    @jitin chopraLooks like some people are still not telling the entire story.....yes Oakland is making it more difficult regarding background checks....however....If you are house hacking an SFR, Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex then you can still absolutely ask about their criminal background and act accordingly......Also.....If the tenant is a Section 8 tenant you are also allowed to ask about criminal background and act accordingly. 

Thanks, Sam!
