Bought a super weird 4 acre parcel with part mobile/part stick built funker at auction. Previous owner prior to the foreclosure still on-site. Nightmare eviction after he went into hiding, found an amazing eviction attorney and PI to handle. Then rented for 2 years at above market rents, and then the tenants bought it for $110k seller finance, $20k down, I carried the additional $90k at a ridiculous interest rate. After paying my seller-finance mortgage for more then 2 years, they are now in default and I am foreclosing. Confident in the ability to resell after the foreclosure, if I again seller finance, given the high cost of housing in the general area.
