  • Hi Alan,

    Did you see this CNN video clip? It's about people who are facing foreclosure burning down their houses, hoping to collect the insurance money.

  • That doesn't surprise me. Desparate people take extreme measures. We can expect other crime statistics to go up too.

  • Nice NTS in Kirkland on a million dollar home......and just from snooping around on Google it looks like the guy is a mortgage lender!

  • Funny. I saw that this morning too.

    It isn't trivial to get the actual addresses for the NTS's. You actually have to open the scan of the document. You can get a description on the search page, but it gives some sort of legal description of the neighborhood. That particular house said "Kirkland" which is why I looked at it.

    The map shows a house behind this one on a flagpole lot. It looks like the property was subdivided.

    He is only $25k behind. I doubt this will actually go to auction.
  • Actually this is a court ordered bankruptcy sale.
  • Fascinating. How did you discover that, jil?
  • he/she owns the house!
  • I may have misstated. This is a Bankruptcy sale. I do not know if it is a "court ordered" Bankruptcy sale. However it may be an interesting one to watch since the Trustee's sale is next friday. It also appears that the outstanding mortgages total $1,250,000. I'm sure the current market won't support that price.

    I have many information sources, some that I pay a fee for. Just one of my (many) value added services I offer as a Realtor.
