Hey @Devin C. 

@George C.

@Leigh C - I was just going to post something about the percentages that the OP had - expecting 1 in 5 is overly optimistic, but you did say it more bluntly :)

Which came first…hard to say.I have never reached an impasse in negotiations b/c of a claim in seeking excessive profits but it has been just another thing in the long list of claims buyers/realtors make to justify a low offer.

@Leigh C it's just a little over 3000--I'll try small claims court--thank you!

I'd like to think you'll find the resources we offer on structuring syndications / private offerings to start your own RE investment firm informative as well (pretty sure I'm biased though).The terminology, process, necessary documents and decisions (PPM, Reg D 506 (b vs c), blind bool preferred return, etc. all seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it's pretty straight forward once you understand the basics and get some exposure to the moving parts. 

I have a SF home in a C class neighborhood, which was my primary home for several years before I met my husband.  

There are paid sites out there like Realty Trac that can give that information, but as Ned C stated it's probably an estimate based on how long the seller lived in the property.
