Currently available a small group of bank owned homes at a huge discount for cash or hard money buyer.
The package consists of 4 SIngle Family Homes that need minor cosmetic repairs (typically carpet, paint, light fixtures, landscaping). These homes make great rentals or flips to first-time buyers.
More banks are feeling the pressure, and we have negotiated prices yet another $100,000 below recent “foreclosure resales”.
Speaking of “foreclosure resales”, did you know that the June sales statistics included 41% of foreclosure resale properties in Southern California (properties that were sold by banks or lenders after they had been foreclosed)?
That’s great, because it means two things:
1. Foreclosure inventory is starting to move because banks are pricing more aggressively;
2. Median home price data is dominated in some areas by discounted properties. So the steep drops are exaggerated leaving more opportunity to investors and buyers who understand that.
Anyway, back to our available deals. Four properties that are all cosmetic fixers. Some need very little repair. These are perfect to fix and keep as rentals in this market. They will cash flow AND appraise for a lot more than you’ve put in. So, refinancing will be an option for your buy-and-hold strategy.
Two properties are located in Pomona, CA in decent areas. One is a 4 bedroom(!), the other a 3 bedroom.
The third deal is located in Baldwin Park, CA. It’s a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house. Good condition, great keeper.
The fourth property is in Los Angeles, in a fairly decent neighborhood in South Central.
All properties are between 60% and 65% LTV and priced just under $200,000. Recent sold comps of mostly REO properties are in the $270,000 to $300,000 range. Appraised values after repairs will be in the range of $325,000 to $350,000 on these.
This gorgeous home was built in 2007 and sold new for $680,000… It was purchased as an investment and occupied by a Lease/Option tenant. Fast forward only 15 months later: The tenant is still living in the home, but now the bank owns the property. After taking it back at the reduced opening bid of $441,600 we have negotiated with the bank.
The result: They will take $350,000 or even less than that if a qualified buyer or cash buyer can close quickly!
And the best part: The lease/option tenant still loves the house and would be happy to stay at $2,900/month or even more! Absolutely no repairs, huge equity position, cash out with the L/O buyer once the market recovers. This is a no-brainer deal for cash or credit investors! Let’s do it!
…it’s good to be back in our home (and my home office…), after being evacuated due to the fires near Sierra Madre and Arcadia! (Tanker Drop)
I have a few things to catch up on AND also wanted to let you know about several new wholesale deals in our pipeline.
#1. REO Deals: As you know by now, these are usually extremely good deals that don’t last (sometimes not even long enough to upload pictures to the web site…) Currently we have pre-negotiated deals availale on 99th St, 100th St, and two duplexes on 112th St. They are all EXTREMELY cheap, and our mark-up is very small because we’re focussing on volume. So there is a lot of money to be made – left on the table for YOU!
#2. Short Sales: We’re seeing some great deals coming through right now. A nice, newer home in Fontana, North of the 210, that was last sold for $465,000: It appraises now for $350,000. It’s available for owner occupied buyers or landlord investors for only $249,000 (net). Financing and down payment assistance are available.I also have an in-road to a Quadruplex in Long Beach. It is rented for $4,400/mo. The bank wants $510,000 (plus fees, commissions and assignment). A great multi-family deal to buy-and-hold, if that’s what you’re looking to do. The previous investor paid $735,000 for it (oops)…
#3. Fixers: We have a great fixer-upper in Ontario. It’s a probate property that needs to be cleaned up etc. Our cash-price (one-week closing ONLY) is $149,000 (net).
