If you hear someone say the Real Estate Market here is dead.. Trust me, they are “mis-informed”..!
It seems just about every time I find a property a buyer I’m working with has an interest in, we’ve had to compete with other buyers to get 1st in line. 
A home we listed “for sale” at 2925 North Platte Way, Sacramento just last Thursday, has generated 5 offers…! This home is located in the North Natomas area where there has been a flood of foreclosures and short sales the last several years.
No matter, there was an offer on the property the next day after it posted on the Multiple Listing Service. Folks… this is nothing new and almost any Real Estate Agent or Broker in the area will verify what I’m saying here.
Even the rough ones, the “fixers”, are selling. You go back a couple of weeks ago to a blog post I made regarding a unique investment property over in the Fair Oaks area that had 23 offers…!
Bottom line…? If you are in the market now, chances are you will experience this for yourself… that is, having to compete against other buyers for the same opportunity. You might even have to bid on several properties before you finally get the right one. So don’t get discouraged. It’s just the market we’re in now.
Make it a Great Day…!

If you are looking for something besides a Duplex or a Single Family Home, maybe one of these will work for you.
I’m not a real big fan of 4 plexes in this area because most of them don’t have the “amenities” that Single Family homes or Duplexes offer to compete for quality tenants and optimum rents.
There are exceptions of course so I thought I’d point these out to you, because they’ve both just come on the market.
I’ve got estimated cash flow projections for both of them.
I hope you found the above informative. If you’d like to know more about getting into the small apartment market drop an email note my way or call me. My contact information is below.

Our loan processor is not responding. The initial escrow date they gave us was 3 weeks. We could not get hold of the loan processor. Is there any thing we can do to extend out escrow date …? How does it work please let me know…
Is is “panic” time…? I don’t think so. This was a question asked by a first time home buyer on Trulia.com

I Have Some Strong Opinions based upon personal experiences.
An Average Duplex in the Sacramento Region
What I told a potential Real Estate Investor who wanted to know what Brokers in the area thought to a question he posed on Trulia.com

I was a part owner of the Four-plex pictured here back in 1990. We did a little fix up and flip back then when the rents were at $450. Rents on these units now are from $600 – $700.
What did you think of the answers I gave. Are you a Duplex or a Four-plex kind of investor.
