FDIC Is Blowing Them Out

Wondering what the FDIC is doing with all the incoming assets?  You’ll see that it doesn’t take a billion dollars to participate, they have sold several bulks under $1,000,000. 

Here’s the link to their bulk sales:

Thet’ve been selling our residential assets for 37 cents on the dollar on average (actual vs. book value), and commercial is going out at roughly 53 cents on the dollar.  A spreadsheet of a sampling of this year’s sales:

Stinking Pirates!

The Somali pirate story bumped us off tonight’s Nightline show, and no other date has been determined. 

It happened like this with the L.A. Times story too, and was drawn out for weeks.  Rather than do the start-stop thing with you, I’ll just post a link to it once it’s done.

I’d put my ice cream truck drivers up against those pirates any day!

Trying to Sell an REO

The Padres are red hot, how about another contest?

Check out this video tour, and guess how much my new REO listing sells for, and the winner will receive four tickets!

For those of you who saw the photo in the paper, and the banter on the radio about the 83-year old lady who attends every game and knits while she watches, she sits a couple of seats down from where you’ll be sitting, if you win. Don’t mess with her!
