@DeAllen Adams - Congrats! 

@Christopher SandysI used Adam years ago when the lead ordinance started.

Quote from @Ashish Acharya: @Adam Ashley, Great answers so far, and yeah, totally fair question, the Bay Area is one of the hardest places to make traditional BRRRR numbers work.From a tax angle, a lot of investors here pivot their strategy instead of walking away from the market entirely.

Quote from @Adam Macias: The economy is not healthy ya'll.House prices are coming down.Look at Texas and Florida, two years everyone though these states would have infinite growth.What has happened?

Quote from @Adam Macias: A 50-year mortgage sounds like affordability — but it’s really it'll be debt that never ends. lolOn paper, stretching a mortgage from 30 years to 50 lowers the monthly payment, yes.But in reality, you’re paying far more in interest while barely building equity for decades.If you buy a house at 25 years old if you're lucky, you'll be 75 when the mortgage term ends...It’s housing that feels like ownership but functions more like renting — just with a longer contract and a higher total cost.The real problem isn’t the length of the loan.It’s the affordability crisis that’s forcing people to consider lifetime debt as a solution.Until we address prices, wages, and supply, extending loan terms only delays the inevitable...The further elimination of the middle class chasing the American Dream of owning a home. 

Quote from @Adam Macias: Real estate agents truly need to get good at negotiating.You can't just look at the price of a house on the MLS or with what a seller is looking for off market and say, "well, if I can't get to their number, oh well, guess it's not a fit."

We were adamant that the concerned tenant was mistaken as the new tenant came back with zero criminal history (other than minor traffic).

Quote from @Adam Wachter: My wife is a realtor and works full time in that role, so she qualifies as a REP.
