Obviously the freemarket decides where prices go, as long as the govt doesn't interfere too much, and when too many folks buy too high and can't make a profit, they'll either lose or learn and hopefully it'll even out before a crater in the market.

Hello everyone my name is Edwin manning i currently live in the Modesto Ca area and i'm about 5 days new to the Bigger pockets site and would love any help navigating.

For a few hundred bucks (or less) have an engineer come to site and take a look.

Their site makes things seem pretty transparent , they have properties across the nation.  

They say that once they pay commissions and closing costs, they don't want to accept a price in which they'll "lose" (chuckles slightly).

If not you will end up as just another faith investor.With the value pushing up into the $600K range your rents are far too low and need to be ajusted upward or as I stated you will need to sell to maintaine the returns on your equity.Unfortunatly the majority of CA seemes to be a losing investment market for cash flow so inevitably you will need to either get out or heavily supliment your tenants rent out of your own pocket.

Will I lose all the money that I put out to purchase that property?

You're going to lose Novembers rent so you can list for higher?

I have connected with some investors on this site who are already working with a realtor in our area. 

I really wouldn't care, but when you have a homeowner losing their home because they're caught up in a contract with someone who has a clause that says the contract is subject-to finding an end buyer & gives them permission to market the property it's no different than a contract that's subject-to flipping 3 keys of coke & finding a cheaper distributer.
