That being said, unless it's a very good area, a 7.5% or 10% vacancy rate is probably more realistic.

It could be that others are unaware of his bullying (and you probably are not the only one he has been hassling).

The prices are probably starting to dip because they have been exploding for like forever.

The cheapest place I could go to is probably 2~3 hours away from where I currently live.

And if I sold it on the market, they would probably have to move out and find another Bay Area home (for much more rent), or I suspect an investor would raise their rent high too, if they have to pay as much for the house. 

(Even if I am comfortable, I will probably come back here to ask when the time comes just to be sure I'm not missing anything glaring.)So you're thinking that the chances of working out a deal to have the seller cover the closing costs is a long shot and that I should just be patient and keep saving until I have some more cash?

This would avoid the recording tax and probably a reassessment as well.However, in general the tax payer needs to be the same on sale and purchase.
