Two more Jim the Realtor videos

I actually enjoy watching Jim the Realtor videos because he is frank about his assessments. Also, he shows stuff home buyers would be interested in. Just like these 2 videos.

Another Jim the Realtor video

I like to follow Jim the Realtor because he seems to be one of the few agents who can make a living and be honest about what he does. Check out his latest video:

Jim the Realtor video 02.16.2010

One thing I like about Jim the Realtor is he puts out great videos of properties and gives his honest assessments on the price points.



He is in the San Diego county and lots of the houses in his videos are in great neighborhoods. Many of them are bank REOs.

Banks have Big REOs too

Most people think that bank REOs are all run down little shacks that need to be fixed up. Maybe in the old days that may have been true. In California, even mansions can become bank REOs.

Check out this Jim the Realtor video:





A monument to the bubble excess - this was built as a personal residence with the intention of turning it into a drug and alcohol rehab facility, but didn't bother with getting a conditional-use permit first. Then she pitched it as an investment opportunity, but got shut down for offering unqualified securities. According to an article in the NY Times, she spent $13 million building this house, only to lose it to foreclosure. Today's list price? $2.7 million.

Bidding on Bank REOs on the Court Steps

This is one of the ways to buy on a bank REO that I have not tried or attempted to do. They literally hold auctions on trustee sales at the court house steps. There are many people who bid and buy this way.

Jim the Realtor has a few videos from an investor Adam who does bid and buy on a regular basis and shares his insights. According to Adam, he has successfully bid and won on 7 properties. This is very good information and I think Jim asks some great questions for anyone who has thought of trying to buy through this process.
