It's just too far for core Bay Area jobs, overflow, and has all sorts of other issues with the city/Bankruptcy, taxes, lack of services and bad schools, etc.. 

STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), medical, and legal are about the extent of useful degrees.I say that because if you're spending that sort of money (and six years of your lives) you should expect the resulting job prospects will enable you to pay back these loans.  

I wouldn't be claiming any sort of return rate or anything, but I might discuss with those that responded to my ad generally my business plan and acquisition strategies.  

Wholesalers are not giving "loans" of any sort, they are simply securing a property, then selling their rights to a contract or home for a fee.Assignment over double close because it is less moving parts.

I am not a marriage councilor, a quick cash business, bank, humane society etc etc.I say all this to make the point------- Have a lease    Stick to it       Be firm     Don't make concessions     It's an agreement/contract       Hold them accountable     They are an adult      Don't accept a reduced rent because you feel bad for them - this is a business not a charity.Because you accepted some sort of payment of rent you may not be able to count this month as violating the lease on the rent amount - you will have to check state and local laws.On the pet provision that was broken, you should be able to give them a 30 day vacate notice for violating the lease agreement.

For the past 2 months, i've been doing countless hours of research online, reading articles, watching videos on real estate, investing, flipping homes, property investing, stocks and all of the sorts.

@Shereef Bishay ,Does San Pablo have any sort of revenue tax like Oakland?

He told me later that he took 6-8% off asking price and then was hit with additional clauses in his contract near closing.My original goal of this post is to find out if this sort of behavior was as common as I've experienced. 

Dodd frank will come to play on a deal of this sort.  

How much rent could you lose sorting that out?
