I have yet to even speak to these people.

But from what I've researched, and from other investors on here speak of its a pretty good market to be in.

I can't speak much to her experience level, but I did find out later that she was actually a minor celebrity in the area and was featured on a national reality TV show (not one related to real estate, and I don't want to give away too many details).Also if it matters, I found out during the closing process (which took another 2+ months) that the people who ended up buying the house were investors.  

The area is more C+, bjut I'd never recommend buying a property with tenants in place unless there is (a) a strong and documented record of timely rental payment; (b) you have the opportunity to speak to the tenant about the condition of their unit and the property in general prior to the purchase; (c) you run a thorough background screening on the tenant to make sure they will pass your standards for a resident.Agents often seek to sell properties when they should strive to build relationships by offering good investments.

I look forward to speaking with you.

I am from the bay area and would like to speak with a local Real Estate Tax accountant.

As @Alex Chinpointed out correctly, rents are a little on the higher side of things, relatively speaking.  

Months go by that I do not speak to tenants so paying 10 percent for cashing a check just doesn't make sense to me.

PSA on buying a flip: Pay attention to the quality of the finishes, if they are hurried and incomplete(which I see all the time) MOVE ON as it speaks to their build quality.

I offered to speak with the couple (who we know fairly well) but he said that would give him away for sure.
