I'm Robby Dearth, I'm a rookie Realtor from Santa Rosa, California.I got into real estate after spending 15 years running a landscape design and installation company - I currently manage a Landscape Materials Supply Store (bulk rock, boulders, pavers etc..).

If my purchase whether a rental or a flip fails in either a small or spectacular fashion will I be honorable enough to admit I made the decisions and not my Realtor ?

If the day is miserably hot, I supply Ice,GatorAde and fans..

Supply is limited for sure. 800 sales in September vs 400 last September. 774 in October vs 429 last year.

Expensive things to look out for: foundation issues, termites, plumbing supply and drain to the street, outdated electric panel (60 amp fuses) and shake shingle roof in bad condition. 

I worked in such industries as hotels, pharmaceutical and biotech, then most recently building supply.

The rental market is strong with not enough supply.

This shows a low supply and lends itself to a sellers market.

I want to supply people with jobs by hiring out some of the work, having a crew that runs houses with me, have property managers to help with the rentals, starting an electrical business as well to do all my own electrical, help out the homeless with jobs where I can.

The "months supply" number measures how long it would take to sell every property on the market if there was no new inventory.  6-7 months is equilibrium - neither a buyer's nor seller's market.
