This bank owned property was first purchased in 2002 for $490k with two loans of $392k and $98k.  That’s right, that’s equivalent to  a 0% down loan.  And then in 2004 it was refinanced again with an adjustable loan of $520k and it seems like there was a transfer between family members.  And then in 2006 it was refinanced again with two loans of $612,000 and $76,500 for a total of $688,500.  So basically this family took out around $200k from this little house during the boom, and finally it went into foreclosure so the last lender is looking around a loss of $280k.  It seems like it was a good deal for this particular family because they practically got to live in this house for more than 4 years for free.

Here is another Burlingame rancher that’s being listed for way too much.  Seems like it took just about 2.5 months to sell in 2006.  I wonder how long it is going to take this time.  Open house is today 1/25 from 1pm to 4pm.
