Reputation: | foreclosure fever-its everywhere. I am ahem.. am planning to profit, am looking for a 3rd property as a summer rental in a coastal community. Something I can call home when I retire. I went out to California which is littered with foreclosures. Its a bit creepy to drive thru entire developments, abandoned. I also saw a growing trend of Dream Home Raffles, which I find intriguing. What a great way to flip an amazing multi-million dollar property or "settle" for the cash prize. I put down $150 (seemed fair). A couple recently won in Marin County. Now I would have moved there in an instant. Well the good news is IF I don't win I will still be prepared to deposit in the Capitola area come September. Just waiting to see if we can get closer to the bottom of this real estate mess. Tim |
