I live in San Jose, and this market is notorious for making people lose faith in their ability to purchase. 

People are losing money in booms and busts if you buy badly enough. 

All the best for your investing venture. 

Thanks for listening, hope everyone ventures are going well!

I guess for me it would depend on how much I would lose in quick sale now. 

I’m so relieved.As a landlord, it’s better to swallow your pride and settle for a small loss than try to go through an ugly eviction process for weeks or months and end up losing thousands of dollars on legal fees, lost rent and rehab fees.

Good luck with your new venture into RE investing.

You can also find joint venture partners to be your money partners.

Family member assured me things were good on their end, but I am a little more risk adverse, and want to be sure things work out well for them in the long run because they've helped us in this venture and deserve to be rewarded for that.I grew up here also, and agree Rosewood is a great part of town that still has some good opportunities (unlike Shandon). 

This is a point at which your tenants will probably either gain or lose a lot of respect for you depending on how it's handled.
