<p>Golllini,</p> <p>You must be "old". I did see a slide rule in some museum. </p> <p>Bix,</p> <p><em>nerds seem to be the new fashion fad!?!?</em></p> <p>Is that so? I personally think "nerds" are HOT!</p>

<p>halfnote10,</p> <p>Or your father could have been there and done that? </p>

<p>Bis,</p> <p>In 2000, I saw an article that predicted engineering salary approaching doctor's by 2010. Well so far I have seen a few engineers making $250K and we have few more years to see.</p> <p>I see a serious challenge for our young engineers to compete due to lack of hand-on's as...

I have no problem with submitting low ball offer eithers. I just have to constantly remind sellers that I am doing my job for my buyer. To avoid bullets, I just have to turn on all the charms that I got and also to get everyone to laugh during the negotiation process. It does work!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>Opoint0,</p> <p>awgee made a very good point.</p> <p>Also, what they offered you is an initial offer. At the miminum, you should get 6.125% (30-yr fix) by just asking. I would start my counter offer at 6%. Make sure 0 cost means 0 cost for all non-recurrings. </p>

<p>AV Paperboy,</p> <p>A short sale/foreclosure without a very good hardship explanation will haunt you for many years. Just put yourself in the shoes of potential landlords and employers.</p> <p>On the side note. I am very disappointed with many short sellers who just wanted someone else...

<p>I see Awgee as someone who speaks his mind, he is alright. I appreciate all the comments here. Statistics show only 7% of all realtors are trusted so we realtors definitely have a lot of self-improvement to do. No doubt here. </p> <p>I have noticed that the more seasoned a realtor, the...

<p>zvillegas,</p> <p>It's not safe practicing real estate. I always ask tons of questions until I feel comfortable enough to meet a potential buyer and seller too. I sometimes say that I will bring my partner (s) and ask if that is OK. Stay safe.</p>

<p>no_vas,</p> <p>Thank you for your advice. I feel Suzie is a bit over the top; however, I do practice finance similarly to her advice in real life anyway . Yes, it's true that I do not nag, and my husband even has a MBA from USC.</p>

<p>THANK YOU EVERYONE! I HAVE READ EVERYTHING AND TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. </p>

<p>bix, you are not alone</p> <p>My husband listens to Susie more than he does me. </p>

<p>I will start:</p> <p>It's very risky to buy real estate.</p>

<p>awgee,</p> <p><em>I think honest realtors would have more credibility if they stopped using the FSBOs make mistakes or misrepresent scare tactics</em></p> <p>Thank you for this advice, very practical. Eventhough I have a strong conviction of the matter for being exposed to, being in the...

<p>agwee,</p> <em>Are you seriously saying that FSBOs misrepresent themselves, their property, or conditions any more than realtors?</em> I have came across cases where bad realtors did more damages than FSBOs in term of misrepresentations. FSBOs are not selling houses on a daily...

<p>IrvineCommuter,</p> <p>I have worked with a few really bad lawyers; these lawyers had no intention of helping. Once I spot a bad one, I take off as fast as I can.</p> <p>Then I also worked with a few great lawyers and I truly feel blessed. </p>

<p>xlm,</p> <p>The usage of "realtard" term bothered me at first, then I got use to it, then even used it for no reason other than a humorous spelling for realtor. I do want to appologize to you though. </p> <p>I agree with you that realtors are the most hard working and giving group of...

<p>xlm,</p> <p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Shooby - FSBO landlords are big targets for scammers and more. The scammers are less likely to contact a "realtard", eventhough, the advanced scammers might try.</p> <p>Now that they know your phone number and address, and that they can claim you had their money, who know what they might...

<p>Can't be 1/2 bath, may be 3/4 bath.</p> <p>My LA clients are getting hit with $200 rent increases for 2-bedroom (1000 sq. ft) and the landlords are not budging.</p> <p>Troop, I think housing cost in LA area is just outrageous. My LA clients can only wish they can work and live in OC for...

<p>PeterUK,</p> <p>That is so cool and kind of you to invite </p>
