It's like buying and selling a car. 

It is a slab on grade single level 1,600 square foot home with a two car attached garage.

This is the equivalent of a car wholesaler walking into a car dealership trying to get a car at 50% invoice.

im still relatively new to socal (originally from long island and the nyc metro area) but in networking with alot of seasoned area 'brokers' i'm surprised to hear from quite a few (3-4, out of like 12 i've had conversations about my finances so far) that they still rent their condos and lease cars.. idunno, maybe its the new trend in society, to 'rent' everything?
