One thing I haven't seen mentioned and I apologize in advance to anyone who may be offended.

When you find a real estate agent tell them to look a homes under bank foreclosure. I not sure if it's the same in California as it is here, but the agent I had suggested looking at homes that mortgage companies had foreclosed on because they could only sell them for what was owed on the mortgage. By doing that it put us in a nice 4 bedroom/2 car garage on the biggest lot in the subdivision for almost half of what comparable homes were selling for.

Just a thought.
