Mesh,

I'd like to understand where some of these are showing as sold? A couple of them are showing sold, but some are still showing as pending.

Just for kicks.

Here's a great investment. $340K for a section-8 rental that generates a whopping $1300/month in income.

Just interest and taxes on this unit would be $1900/month. Remodeled 2 years ago, and it's already listed as a "fixer". Safe to say that you'll be shelling out for repairs in addition to the -$600/month cash flow.

Someone jump on this quick. It won't last!

Here's odd one. Bought in 8/2005 for 410K, now pending at $454K.

That's under 11% appreciation in 22 months. Is that even possible in 98103, even if you trash the place?

The only thing I can figure is that during the feeding frenzy of 2005 people were seriously overbidding some properties.

Edit: it looks like this one sold at trustee sale for $382K, then was listed on the market at $454 - so although it's a foreclosure, the price will be used in comps. Suckers. How the heck did they manage to get forclosed on with 11% appreciation?

When it's foreclosed the lender is trying to recoup as much money as possible, so it's not up to the person who was foreclosed on.
