While not my first choice based on personal comfort, financially it does seem most sensible.I think I need to educate myself more on the ins and outs of renting before making a decision.

My ultimate goal is to buy enough property within the next 3-5 years so I'm able to quit my full time job and live comfortably off the cash flow (while also reinvesting it back into real estate).

I felt it was worth giving each potential buyer that choice, rather than paying for those things in advance.Hopefully your Seller will NOT be angry with you if they see their home listed at a significantly higher price - because you will have already TOLD them that in order find them a cash-Buyer at the agreed Sale price by your due date, you may resort to using all the resources you have available, including your reputable and gets-the-job-done Realtor, right?...

There are many debates on BP about the Bay Area, and when going into any purchase the ultimate test is deciding if it fits your long-term plan.The San Jose market and Oakland have the spectrum of duplexes.

The people who buy here are buying for experiences and memories, not so much investment return.From speaking with other financial entities and members of the community, we are looking for partners to assist in offering loans of some sort, such as:1) Direct loan to buyer of house (less a down payment), and then payment arrangement between loaner and the buyer2) Loan to the cooperative as an entity who then administers the loan between buyer and cooperative, with payments paid back to financial organization from cooperative3) Loan to buyer with cooperative as co-signer, therefore making the cooperative the ultimate responsibility in the event of default4) Create a member-funded reserve fund or actively managed account which will then be used for giving out loans to new members at an interest rate.
