Are you looking to invest or just represent as an agent?

@Brandon Sturgill@Ashley CastIn California you can do the following:- Represent yourself in a RE sales transactions- You can even hand write a purchase contract hereBrandon if you would like to have a conference call with my broker we would be happy to EDUCATE you on how RE is done in the state of California.Also this isn't an attorney state so most signings are done in the presence of a notary not an attorney. 

Make sure if they are representing an ARV value make them provide ARV comps.

The buyer's 10% down + 15% seller financing represent 25% down on purchase price, which is what the bank will want to see.

And it's great to see the Nashville area represented by several here!

Having an agent that understands and represents your needs can be a night and day difference.

I have represented Builders that have been sued for similar matters.

From what I understand, you will have to deal with an appointed representative to make an offer most times no negotiations aloud.

Here you agreed you wanted to purchase the price for X (Which could have been high or low, you should have enlisted the services of a professional to represent you, which you did not), the seller agreed to sell it to you for X, so that is the market price of the property.The appraisal is not performed as a means of safeguarding your interests, and even though you pay for it, it is not actually your property depending on the state (some states do grant you ownership of the report).
