Wish that kind of deal was available in the bay area.  

I got a offer under contract yesterday I put it in about a week ago at 70% of asking price which was 129900 at the time I offered 90k but after it was accepted I looked on the bay county appraiser site and the just value was only 68k it seems like almost every deal I get now I got to cancel because they were overpriced to begin with and 70% of asking price just isn't a big enough spread what should I do?

Hi Everyone,I'm looking for a Realtor who is investor friendly (especially friendly towards a new investor) in the East Bay area.

My goals are single-family, multifamily, and eventually apartment buildings for long term holding and cash-flow in and around the Tampa Bay area.

@Payam Dastmalchi you forgot SF Bay Area. 

@Heidi Zhao  Personally I think Kips Bay, Lexox Hill, Yorkville are all very sound financial options.  

Some of it will be eaten up by commissions and your portion of the closing costs.And finally, and this is just my opinion, is that a sour economy is actually good for rentals because people aren't as eager to take on a mortgage commitment when they are uncertain.Back in 2008 I was looking to rent a place in the Bay Area, just as the economy was collapsing.

But the presentation by CTL Property was good and its founder Clara Tan was very convincing,"He met her at real estate seminars held at Marina Bay Sands, first in December 2012 and again in February 2013.FULL SERVICES"What drew many of us in was, CTL is a one-stop shop, offering full services from tax submissions, tax filing, getting legal representations and so forth," he said.He said like him, the other investors even signed over their power of attorney - that meant legally, she could decide for them."

The real estate market must be crazy in the Bay Area right now.  

I recently moved from Panama City and think that there is some great opportunity there.Dig through the Bay county public record (http://www.baypa.net/search.html), there is a ton of information on there.
