I actually busted out a blog post last weekend to show my buddy where the cash sales are.He's looking to buy in the 450k-550k range and has lost 12 offers to cash offers - all greater Sacramento/Hwy 50 Corridor.Also, I might encourage you, Jared, to visit the NorCal REIA meeting.

Also - I highly encourage you to set up some Keyword Alerts for some of the topics you are knowledgeable about, or other topics that interest you (like wholesale, Houston, Rehab, etc ) so you'll be notified that those words were mentioned in the forums and can jump into those conversations!

Thanks for the encouragement Ziv Magen.

Thanks Patrick Jackson, I appreciate the words of encouragement!

Marco Santarelli thanks for the encouragement and sharing your expertise.
