Several houses in my neighborhood have been bank owned recently and I've considered buying. One was so cheap it wouldn't have added $450/mo to my current mortgage. Somebody with money could have bought half the neighborhood.
The cheap house was sold and the new owners have redone it and done a very good job (better than I would have I think) and it looks like the house next door is sold too (sign is gone and hired people have been working on it) so now we're a whole neighborhood again, I like that, empty houses are sad. Detroit must be super depressing. -Curt Date: Sat, 5 Jun 2010 11:20:38 -0400 From: "WILTON" <wilt...@nc.rr.com> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Beer for henifay Message-ID: <0d76c8a91805475b947af64ae2bc3...@wiltonpc> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Absolutely certain/sure. BTW, in June 1980, I assumed the payments on a small house (1400 SF) out in the country several miles from here. The bank was about to foreclose on it, so when I assumed the payments, the owner/seller was able to keep his credit record somewhat in tact. My younger son and I spent several hours during the next 2 weeks painting the exterior trim and the interior. July 4th weekend, 1980, a master sergeant retiring from USAF moved out of base housing into that house; he's still there. His rent check is always in my mailbox one or two days before the first of the month, every month. I've painted the exterior again and put a new roof on it. I've put 2 new water heaters in it and added a drain line to the septic tank drain field. The tenant finished buying that house for me several years ago. 'Wish I could have had a dozen houses and tenants like that. I had some others several years ago, but the tenants were such a hastle, I sold the houses.
