Charlotte Area Real Estate Investor Suggestion List for August- September 2014

My apologies for the long delay between investor newsletters. The market heated up significantly for a while, and has only recently slowed a bit for some reason unknown to me. As those of you who do this actively already know, there are still enough buyers for those "good deals" that the best of them continue to receive multiple offers and sometimes go under contract above the listing price. But those sellers of REO inventory who were beginning to price their properties higher in the expectation of buyers rushing to bid on anything even remotely attractive have begun to get a bit more realistic with their listing prices as the market seems to have slowed slightly.

"Retail" buyers continue to have difficulty securing financing, and this continues to impact sellers of flip properties. But there remain good deals out there for those who are willing to look for them, whether your strategy is a fast flip or rent-and-hold. The link below will take you to a few suggestions. Brief summaries follow:

#1- MLS 3022948 - a 3BR/2.5BA REO with 2,620 sq.ft. of HLA in an upscale area of Charlotte closer to Uptown (zip code 28226), assigned to desirable Myers Park High School. Listing price is $339,900 with a tax value of $420,000.

#2 - 3005584 - 4/2.5 Fannie Mae REO with 2,539 sq.ft. of HLA inside the exclusive Providence Park subdivision in South Charlotte/Matthews. This REO is assigned to top performing schools, including Providence HS. Listing price is $191,000, with a tax value of $242,100. ARV should exceed $250,000.
