My offer to purchase was successfully accepted in a competitive market, and I immediately found a tenant to rent out the space for a 12 month lease.

It was very competitive due to location but offer was accepted and we closed in April.

I obviously can't pick and choose what score to accept due to the Land Lord tenant act laws.

At some point you have to accept that your first attempt may not be perfect, but if you set some guidelines and narrow your focus down to something that's achievable you should be on your way pretty quickly.

Many investors in expensive areas like the Bay Area accept short-term losses for future gains.

I just graduated college and I got my degree in Finance with a focus in real estate.

If the offer is accepted, a third-party title company will help facilitate the closing process.

We offered slightly below asking and they accepted our offer.

You just need to know how to background check your guests and how you want to accept payments.

If you have an accepted contract, the only thing I would really worry about is copies of all leases.If you are still underwriting and thinking of offering, the price is going to be more dictated based on your own knowledge and idea of what you can do with the property, versus what the seller financials state.
