For you, who has been a key player in your success?

State Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), the bill’s author, said her goal is to make it easier for individuals and affordable-housing groups to compete with investors, just like you.

When credit dried up, many players (usually arrogant corporations) with profitable properties had to resort to bankruptcy protection because of cash flow shortages.

From negotiating material and labor costs, to borrowing costs and time frames for completion, there is simply no way to compete against those efficiencies and use of market force.Lastly, the appreciation angle.  

It looks like the seller did complete this step.Second, you have to file a Quiet Title action with a court of competent jurisdiction and you must receive a Final Order on the Quiet Title Action.

Some do this by purchasing a mentorship course and partner with one of the big players in the sandbox. 

NO UNAUTHORIZED REPAIRS WILL BE PAID FOR BY THE LL.....you did not authorize to pay for the repair= no reimbursementBut to be honest.....if I'm confident enough to go over and diagnose the issue with a disposal, I'm competent enough to swap one out...... takes about 30-45 min and less than $100.

Hi @Christopher Oliva,Any competent buyer will see the issues and discount accordingly, so if I were in your shoes I'd first figure out what's causing the problem and see if it can be fixed economically.Example, is it a crushed sill plate that termites ate up?   

Hard to compete with many of these buyers if you are using a different strategy.  

We will have to compete with those that don't have a profit motive or goal.
