Try my colleague, Glen Bell. Not certain he goes out to Concord, but ask him. Tell him I referred you.

Entering into a short sale transaction is not for the faint of heart. How many lenders? What's the total encumbrance? Is owner in default? Is the Listing Agent experienced at negotiating SS's? Bank will likely counter MUCH higher than your contract price. Are YOU represented by a good Buyer's Agent?

@JMartin My recent West Oakland listing was at 1414-14th St. And I just got a client into contract on a condo a block away at 1460-14th.

Bhavna,
I would be happy to help you & your husband. We can find you a great investment property!
I have 76 condo listings that match your search criteria. PM me your email address & I'll send them to you.
In fact, any of you BP'ers who'd like direct access to the MLS, just ask!

Personally, I'm not seeing it. For example, I just got a client into contract in upper Laurel district against 7 other offers, one of them all cash. We had to go 20% over asking & waive contingencies to get the contract, but we did! I have an ecstatically happy client!
Also, just closed a deal in Lincoln Heights: 4 offers & we won the contract @ 11% over asking, non-contingent. My recent listing in West Oakland garnered 12 offers & sold for 20% over asking to an all-cash buyer and my recent listing in Berkeley got 5 offers & sold for 20% over asking. So no, I'm not seeing it.

A close colleague of mine runs a great little Ppty Mgmt company & does an excellent job. I don't know if he works that far out into CC County, but you can email him & ask (tell him I referred you):

Oakland is HOT and about to bust wide open. I believe critical mass has been achieved, finally, and Oakland will be where everyone wishes they were a month ago.
It is critical to be working with an investor-friendly, hyper-local, Top Producing Realtor who knows the neighborhoods and the trends.
I invite anyone interested in buy/hold or fix/flip in Oakland to sit down with me for a chat. Coffee's on me!
