Acquisition Analyst Salary

What is the typical real estate acquisitions analyst base salary in Los Angeles?  I heard of people in New York making $120,000+ in this position.  Just wondering what is market over here, and what to counteroffer if a company offers lower than your expectation (say, $75,000)?  Would it help if I were to get a master's degree in real estate?

Hi mo646, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

Coming in late, but I think around $110-130k is a reasonable request depending on experience, with bonuses to earn up to $150k. If you are straight out of college, expect lower base salary (~$80k or so) with slightly higher bonus to bring all in comp to $100-120k. Just my perspective.
