The foreclosure auction was very good for our investors on Friday July 18th 2008.
We purchased two properties at auction that day and both were exceptional deals. The first property was a beautiful home in the Bridle Ridge neighborhood of Bellevue. Tne home was last sold in December 2006 for 1.099M. The prior owner then proceeded to spend an additional $180K in upgrades and remodelling.
We bought this house at the foreclosure auction for an investor for one dollar over the opening bid of $723,000. By that afternoon we had all cash offers from potential buyers for $905,000. We will be re-listing the property on the MLS for $1.1M in the next couple weeks and expect to sell very quickly.
Below are some pictures of the property.
The 2nd property we purchased was a house less than one block from Greenlake. We purchased the house at auction for $378,600. According to the tax records the property was only a 2 bedroom 1 bath but the former owner had almost completed finishing out the basement which adds another bedroom and bath and approximately an additional 400 sqft.
The investor will spend about $25,000 fixing up the house and the ARV (after repair value) of the property is between $550,000-$600,000
