Your welcome ...
Nope, not a type ... 8,000.00 (eight-thousand) for small two bedroom condo's. I just looked at the attorney's list who handled our sale for the mortgage company and there are over 680 home, land, mobiles and condos listed for the next auction in November. Some companies list a minimum-bid and others start at 0.00 (zero - nada).
You just have to have a 10,000.00 bond before you can bid and the highest bidder wins. My friend in Utah just 'won' a 5 bedroom home, needs work and applicances, but for only 7542.83 - they will continue to rent the next two months while making the repairs.
It would be sad to purchase a place that others have lost - as I am sad my house was bought and for so little, but to have no mortgage or rent payments each month would make life much less stressful for us. Also, my daughter and baby's rent went up to over 900.00 a month, so she will be needing to move soon, too ... was only 650.00 before but lease expired ...
