Default Recession Is a Terrible Thing To Waste

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.

Default Nice Ideas..

..the lottery for raising funds for the arts center, $150 each, and you get a multi million dollar home in S.F. if you win.

By the way, Capitola looks beautiful. How did you discover it?

I use to go to Salesians Boys Camp in aptos. And even though its a bit off of the beaten track, its pretty magical.

Oh and just a heads up about the raffle... deadline is Friday July 10th!

If you bought ticks - GOOD LUCK.

There are so many opportunities that are now available in this recession but it also has it downfall which is money. Persons who would like to grasp these opportunities does not have the money to do so. I wish you the best in achieving your goals that you have set.
