Too bad I dont live near your market...

I may be looking to sell a SFR in the near future and have been thinking about that.

It's in a major city near their university.

The home is nearing completion and I am about to list it for sale.

For those of you that dont know this area I'd like you to know this is a nice area with lots of snow and rainbirds when things cool off elsewhere.Check the winter temperatures at any weather site eg weather.com Lots of homes on the market beween Salton Sea and PalmSprings (AKA Cochella Valley) More of a buyers market as you've probably heardElevation is Sea Level in Indio to abt 500 ft near PalmSprings.

My first was a duplex near Dyess AFB (where i work); one side, in which, i was supposed to live.

I look at message boards and attend a REIG meeting and I see these newbie all the time and I hear a few things constantly 1. a newbie asking WHAT IF question on EVERYTHING they seem to have read in the books, the most annoying are the what if’s and have you questions like what if this breaks or have you found more lead in the MLS or in the paper?
