Past Due

Record delinguency:click here

Home prices going down:
click here the logical equation if one is unemployed or owns commerical re, which is another time bomb. Been to any retail ghost towns lately? was at downtown at the gardens, unbelievable, its like a huge exit sign was posted. Some really high end outlets which had spent tons of money on establishing brands and ambience. I counted three stores open, in the indoor corridor, which by the way since opening I had never been in, since the parking is less than desirable. Amazing the wealth that has just dissappeared with these establishiments. I wouldnt want to be the property owner which is now said to be a bank, taxes still go on and without paying renters/lease holders, it can be get very very expensive.

foreclosures and delinquency hit all time high: click here

mortgages

more mortgages late:click here

This is very well written in my view, questions and answers;click here

we cant find any of the homes mentioned on "my list" on the mls. but then I only did a quick cursory search.

we are number two:click here

Americans are delusional about pricing: or isn't this the truth...
click here

my list

Here is my list I have been watching, mostly for curiousity than anything else. all have been marked inactive on zip but property records and county records show no changes other than the one in LHP has a lP filed from century bank on the 11th of this month. As said it will be interesting to see if... they were sold and what for.

3316 N.E. 40th bank repo Lasalle bank 564,300
3308 N.E 39th ; gadol, flippers 876k. on and relisted more than once
302 charroux dr.: 925k. jupiter
3701 N.E. 34th: stoddard: flipper 689k
2378 N.E. 28th 1.5 Nu Level LLC; LP filed 11/9

someone bought the house down the street from me. some guy from the back woods of michigan, relisted it at considerably more than any of these houses have ever sold for. amazing. is this the face of the real estate rebound, the greed gremlin?

Here is another interesting one. I have been watching this one for almost 2 years.
purchased was a developer from chicago, paid 767 I knew the loan was due in aug 2010.
I see by the records he gave it back to the bank for less than they paid. Interesting lot. not sure about location though. this represents over a 200k loss.

Florida

22 percent of all loans are late;click here

We cruised our list at zip of homes we watch, we noticed that six were no longer active, but in checking the property records all the original owners appear on the records, they have either been re-listed or are pending, it will be interesting to see. One is the Lasalle bank property in bermuda riveria.

Thanks the comment re moderator. As luck would have it on the day they shut down our merchant account, which I consider theft, we had someone who urgently needed an expensive pump part in Thailand and the only way to charge it quickly was through our google merchant account. we lost the deal, and the buyer ended up going elsewhere I cant blame him. I am still struggling with being angry over that part of the equation. My superiors were less than pleased as you can imagine.

We export yacht and boat parts all over the world in our real job and made a mistake in my view counting on something that obviously is not reliable. enough said. they will probably take this blog away again for saying this, but if so go to southfloridabubbletrouble.wordpress.com. eventually I will have it running.

one quarter of homebuyers want foreclosures;

Blog Back

This blog is back. Due to google's captcha software we were deleted along with several others.

I have set up an alternate at wordpress but havent finished it yet, I will, should they shut me down again, go to wordpress. Since I was also the most vocal and highly
frustrated, this being the second time in less than six months, the last being August 2nd, I think I was put at the end of the list. other people who didnt complain as bitterly appeared to get their back sooner.

We also have a merchant account and along with them deleting this blog, they shut down our email address and merchant account a day later we got it back. more about that later. tomorrow i will be cleaning up the blog and bringing you all the latest news.

Ms. J.

Pigs N Banks

click here er....everybody is doing it ....

Wells fargo transforms:click here

Credit extended:click here

Know what I see, lots of factions trying really really hard to subsidize and pump the market. Banks allegedly withholding inventory, billions in tax credits, fannie mae leasing back, wells fargo transforming to avoid foreclosures, mediation for foreclosures, know what I think.. what about the strategic walk aways? do they care??? what about unemployment? what about homes were priced in the stratosphere to begin with and no matter how much you hold your breath, in the form of manipulation, the fervor of greed, fraud and stupidity wont happen again, thats what I think and that 1960's box is never going to be worth 2 million again...no matter how much you borrowed against it.....there I said it....is this a sucker's rally??? there I feel better now.....

Game

why the game is rigged;click here and then there's the shadow inventory being held back by banks who want to manipulate the market. If I owned almost 1k properties I would probaby do the same thing.

short sales: click here

clogging:click here

Deliberate:click here or put options in real estate 101.

walking away

click here I know someone who did this, took the money borrowed and bought another home in another state and now is getting that loan refinanced, amazing. Im doing something wrong here....

How to get 100k a year tax free almost.....we happened to know someone who lives in this neighborhood, lien here:click here pur chase here:click here .you can now view foreclosure sales for sarasota county with calendar at: http://www.sarasota.realforeclosee.com, looks like lots more in the pipe line. note these are not liens but sales. house is a tear down in our opinion be interesting to see what it eventually sells for.

with all the hype its difficult to know whats real when the person telling you something has a vested interest in convincing you of something.

speaking of shadow inventory: (broward records only)
bank ownership as of 11/3/09, note some may be actual banking sites, commercial property etc.
