I agree! I work in Northern California but proper training is key! If your interested in real estate in the LA area I have been reading Andrews post and he know what he is talking about. You want a company that stands behind you and watches your back.

To top it off the office manager is not only pro gun, but an avid hunter!
The online Real Estate license classes are only 99 bucks right now, thru a few vendors.
If you are not local, I would still love to help you out, and guide you thru the process, as I already have with several other calgunners.

Thank you,

Hello Andrew,

I am currently thinking about returning to real estate. Unfortunately I am not in your area, instead I am in the Sacramento area. I would appreciate any guidance you could spare.

My realtor just sent me a listing for a house that was 275k yesterda and today it dropped to 199k. Is there a tool or way to find houses that drop like this. Like a house that drops X% in X amount of time?

I only see 2 instances when houses drop that much.
1.) The people already have the house paid off, and their motivation to leave is higher then the need for the money they would get.

2.) (most likely) The real estate agent who listed the property, was ok with whatever number the home owner of the house came up with, as to what they wanted their house to sell for. Any time you buy a house, the real estate agent needs to provided a CMA. Its a market anaysis, and you compare like properties in the general area.
In rural areas, it can be several miles, however, in urban area, you rarely go more then half of mile for comparable properties.

So to answer your question. Off the top of my head, no, there is no item that traces drops like that, but you shouldn't ever buy a house without doing the comps. I can almost guarantee, that the number the house dropped to was probably still higher then what is selling in the area.

Andrew

I'm in the wrong business.

News article on how agents/sellers/etc are ripping off banks.
"Short sale fraud plagues the housing market"

The banks I am sure check title after, and, well, so does Escrow and Title. I am sure someone doing this, could not get away with doing this for a very long time.

I don't get how someone wouldn't catch a home from Malibu to mistakenly be in Riverside though. As I stated earlier, that is something Title does. This article sounds like its missing information. Not to mention, short sales are always, long and drawn out.

I'll give you the 25% referral fee. I have sold in the San Jose area before (don't chop down that tree in your backyard...the city has a tree ordinance) and have MLS access. I'm in the bay area and our brokerage have bought and sold over 400 properties last year, with the majority of them being foreclosed homes. I work primarily with investors and we have been acquiring our properties at the Alameda & Contra Costa county courthouse steps. We purchase anywhere from 2-8 properties in one day, 12-15 properties in a week. Our investors experience an ROI of 7%-49% (at one point, 92% ROI when we had the tax credit), depending on the location of the investment property. We have, at least, 50 properties that are currently either listed on our MLS or is in the process of renovation and being prepped for the retail market. We are also a property management company based out of Oakland, CA since 1978 (Oakland is a pretty tough place to manage properties). We have acquired 3 4-unit dwellings in Oakland & San Leandro last week. For the first time, since I have been in the business in 2000, long term investors are seeing positive cash flow. Unheard of back in 2007. Feel free to PM if you have investors that wants to purchase wholesale, or if you have retail buyers that just wants a home in San Francisco Bay Area.

Sounds good. That's a lot of transactions. I get about half investors and half families for sales, but I do try and stick to the listing side of Real Estate. They are harder to get, but easier on the family schedule, oh, and no gas and driving around.
