Account Closed  Nice thought Wendell but not really practical.. it takes a ton of time and effort to do big show trainings ... and other than BP meet ups  ( which still cost a lot of money like the one J martin did in SF and is to be applauded for)...

Would it cost a lot more if I decided to have the kitchen in a different part of the house say 15 feet away?

Our current agent is the only agent who has suggested that we try to sell them separately since selling them together didn't appear to work.On the other hand, maybe prospective buyers are waiting to see how much lending rates decline in the next few months and what happens with the Costa-Hawkins proposition on CA ballots this November.  

@Kiel MartinClosing cost when you buy for cash is usually a more fixed cost as someone previously pointed out.

Major systems can lead to high cost as well - electric service, water, furnace, etc.   

Villa Rica, GAAre any local investors or realtors familiar with the area?

There’s a huge opportunity cost as well .

@Joe Cummings  is correct it does cost a little more depending on the insuring company.  

The money is guaranteed, no one is running around with pit bulls and smoking god knows what and I get a free inspection each year by the Oakland Housing Authority or the Contra Costa Housing Authority. 

Cost a little more than the other options, but worth it in my opinion.
