A 2 hour drive from LA will take him clear through Riverside out to Victorville, Palm Springs, or Temecula. 80% of the market will be closer to him than that.Of course, traffic makes things worse, but the beauty of living near the coast and working inland is you're going the opposite direction of most commuters!

I'm the opposite of you- I grew up in Maine and Indiana has been my home since 1999.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

If this goes well I might target more of these.I owned a 44 unit in Vancouver WA it was a dream completely the opposite bought from a family who owned it day one..

Conversely if the opposite is happening values may just hold.

There are some broker/agents out there who take in all leads they can and see what sticks type of thing.I am the opposite with my commercial real estate clients.There have been times where I tell people that inquire that I do not work on deals in that range under 1 million or that I could not give them the specific attention they need and deserve.Once a broker/agents business builds up to a certain point they have to define that business and be very specific about what they will and will not take on.If properties are moving that fast in your market what some buyers do is make the offer "sight unseen" subject to an inspection.

I'd like to make it clear that a maximum-funded, high cash value life insurance policy is the polar opposite of the "whole life" policies that everyone thinks are full of high fees.

There are areas within an hour of you though that have the opposite problem though.  

What is normal day to day one place, can be quite the opposite in another community and sometimes they just need to talk to someone.
