mtntrek9, it sounds like you are a realtor.

Mtmtreck - You're making that up. Scammers going through an entire transaction to turn around and file suit for lack of disclosure? And these scammers are targeting people who are uninsured? Doesn't make sense. Do you have examples of court filings of this type (ie public record)?

Prices in Cupertino doesn't seem to drop much. Will it ever drop enough so that the rent-to-buy ratio is reasonable?

I have done a lot of research on this and it is sellers who set fees, not realtors.

Yes, I've done a lot of research on this and found that realtors think that statement is a load of crap. Realtors believe that their "services" are worth commission of around 6%. Try negotiating that down and they'll walk away. That's because they believe that they're necessary. A realtor won't show a home if he doesn't get a big enough commission. But as a realtor you should know this.
