In my market  (Vegas) we are still on average about 30% below the prices in the peak so we are not in the same boat as SF currently.Thanks in advance.

@Pierre Streat if you're already in contract then I would ride the boat and adjust the sails. 

Currently I'm on the same boat.

Appreciate your reply, as you know to we'll we are in the same boat trying to get the VA on the ball with doing their job.

I do have a question - have I missed the boat of buy and hold or flip opportunities in the Chicagoland area - I see that prices of homes have jumped in the past few years in the Naperille/Aurora/Oswego/Yorkville areas.

But it seems if a deal goes south, I'm in just as bad of a boat either way.

Account Closed  I'm in the same boat as you.  

A young man was in Belfast waiting for the boat train to take him back to Scotland.  

Back in the day, 2006-2007, when I was a grad student at the university of Rochester,19th ward was a no go zone for us, especially, the fresh off boat foreigners. 

Found a slightly odd update to those properties now trying to figure how much of a difference the approach would be.Property 1: Owned by a finance company as far as I can tell from looking up a bit of tax info on it.Property 2: I think I missed the boat on this one unfortunatelyProperty 3: Delinquent taxes for a number of years, according to the assessors' website it's in foreclosureProperty 4:  The one I mentioned in my prior post is in the same situation as property 3
