Redondo Beach bargain hunters | Abandon hope!

Ryan Rockwood — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:25:15 +0000

Real estate tip:

A mere 11-days on the market 1807 Carnegie Lane 1, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 is pummeled by no less than 7 super eager buyers.

Intrigued and encouraged by the completely reasonable list price of $399.000? Too bad, so sad. Insiders say this puppy is already pushing $425,000. Don’t expect this baby to close escrow for too much less than $450,000 (IMHO). Of course, that should just push it to the brink of appraised value. Sorry Mr. Real Estate Appraiser. Sucks to be you.

For more info and to jump into the fray yourself call me this very minute!

Insider tip!

Remember that sweet 2nd St Hermosa Beach Ocean-view home for under $950K? Word is that escrow has crashed and burned and burned some more.

Keep your eyes peeled for the reemergence of this listing at the refreshing price of under $900K. (That’s after nearly 200 days of price pummeling from buyers – resulting in a list price drop of almost $300-thousand bucks). Oh my gawd! Imagine the owner’s pain?!? Better keep her away from sharp objects.

Interested in inflicting some more misery on these (or other) homeowners? Give me a call. My number is can be found in the top right sidebar.

Hermosa Beach | Ocean views

Ryan Rockwood — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:45:11 +0000

Why don’t I live in Hermosa Beach? Why don’t I go there more often?

Who knows, but looking at the the pics of this house it’s a mistake. Here is an interesting multi-media tour. The whole thing is a little busy for my taste. But if you are in the market presumably you are willing to overcome the 30 second learning curve (including 5-seconds to figure out how to turn off the music. Hint: upper right!).

This tour has all kind of semi-confusing (but cool) features. If you click on a camera icon on the floorplan you get a photo from that perspective.

Lovely home, huh? Sure, it’ll set you back a few bucks. But if you’re shopping in this price range you’ll appreciate the sqft, view and location.

Hello, Ryan

My mother is currently applying for a loan Modification. On her Expenses log even thou she

has not paid any of her credit cards [she wants to file bankruptcy after a hopeful Loan Mod].

Does that have to be reported those monthly due payments?

Thanks again

XXXXXX

Dear XXXXXX

Oddly enough, no.

She may have some trouble convincing her lenders she is not paying but probably not. Her lates will be reflected on her credit report so they should see them.

This is an ideal way to reduce Debt to Income ratio, if needed to qualify. Of course, include the payments if you need them for your DTI calcuations.

Best,

Ryan

Hot Pick | Hermosa Beach Income property

Ryan Rockwood — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:16:49 +0000

1139 17th ST, Hermosa Beach 90254

By Ryan Rockwood

Today we made a recently rare journey into the land of non-foreclosures with a visit to a new listing on 17th St in Hermosa. Diagnosis? Surprisingly nice!

Check out my photos. The property is huge, on a corner, includes two small independent homes, a good sized yard, 2 car garage, a large ocean view deck and the potential to one day rip down these old homes and build a not-so-mini mansion w/a bitchin’ ocean view!

Priced at $1,050,000 it might even cash flow immediately … I’d certainly rent one of the homes for $2,500+. (That’s kind of my yardstick for rental value).

For more information and a tour call me right this very moment!
