I agree with you a down turn might have started. even though I am not in the bay area. in Seattle, the way you can tell is there are more for sale signs. price always follows inventory. when inventory starts going up, price will plateau and starts to fall a little bit. people are still coming here for jobs. so buyers are still here, except they start seeing more choices and interest rate is still favorable although climbing. so it's nothing like a crash is coming. but it does feel like a slow down is coming. another way you can tell is that all the new listings assume a 10% price increase is already baked in the market. it is a classic sign of a slow down or down turn if you will. my question is 15% drop is a big number, what if it doesn't happen before price resumes up trend again?

It isn't in the same realm of buying at a huge discount to brrrr or flip, but when compared to a turn key property it may be better than a freshly remodeled one with hidden problems.

In the Bay area, it's very easy to find a fresh grad in the high tech industry making $150k+ a year.

I am in Elmwood Park, maybe we can grab a fresh juice or shrimp, one day.

Also notify them, in writing, that they are in violation of the lease and they are responsible for repairing the lawn or any other damages they've caused.Let everyone move on and start fresh.

I'd recommend seeking your own representation as an agent on your team will be highly beneficial and the buyer's agent's commission is already baked into the price in this case, "paid for by the seller".

My plan is to bake the electric output into the rent and have the tenant charge the difference, ie. whatever amount comes up on the utility bill. 

Do NOT give up exercise that is key to a fresh mind, but if you are working out for two hours cut it down to one and increase intensity.

They shouldn't expect the same selling price as the neighbor with the fancy gourmet kitchen and a fresh paint!

However, the reason why I chose turnkey was for a freshly rehabbed house, and this just didn't feel like the case to me.
