I just know that I don't believe in the areas enough to put my money there, which is a personal decision.But then again, I am not looking for an in and out type transaction.

The title companies are really helpful in assuring that all i's are dotted and t's are crossed and everything is legal.

banks will report any cash transactions over 10k.

As licensed agents, we can make money doing short sales or brokering transactions at fair market value.  

., generally-speaking, the populated areas of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and maybe some of the cities in Los Angeles County that border San Bernardino County.

If nobody at the mortgage company you are using can give you a LE (Loan Estimate) form showing your estimated transaction costs for this purchase based on your intended offer price and today's interest rates, PLEASE get a new mortgage company to work with.

ADDING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS - ALSO DECELERATINGNote that the home transaction price in right axis has different scale..Fortunately, the leading index for the state is still holding up, and hasn't showed that downward trends that foreshadowed the last decline as early as 2005!!!

I know as far as any real estate transactions if licensed you must legally go through your broker any help with this please and thanks/ would like to do everything right and correct

However, I plan on using a hard money loan on this transaction as well.

Completely off topic, sorry.We are nothing like you big guys Jay, but I am looking at an area that is a definite C on the border of D and B.
