Check out The Optima Sonoran Ranch, I lived in a 1550 sq ft 3 bedroom condo on the top floor, paid $1478 a month in the 9 years I lived there, would probably be $4,000 - $5,000 a month now equivalent to $15,000 in many places in California
TB trades on their name. For the money, I've yet to see one of their homes that wasn't "meh". But whatever, different strokes...I guess someone's buying it.
You only got $10k in this market? Yikes. Should have used a realtor. I just got a client $40k off a $800k home and all their closing costs paid. Then credited them $6k of my commission. They'll probably tell you that you don't need an inspection next! But hey sounds like you "know there rules."
