Foreclosures/REOs
Example of ‘Steps
Here's a close-up of the process on the court house steps. In 2008, somebody filmed this actual trustee sale of 1825 Chicago St. in Bay Park. The opening bid is $435,240, but no takers, and it goes "back to bene". A month later the bank listed it for sale, with list...

Housing To Keep You Trim
The perfect REO Diet Plan: Dancing, Cocaine, Eating Prevention Device, and Swimming! I'm not sure you could split this lot. The frontage on Lone Jack is too skinny, and zoning is for multiple-dwellings, but I would think they'd insist on two-acre minimum lot size....
