In fact, photographer Valérie Anex published a photo series titled, “Ghost Estates,” which documents the horror of the overbuilding that took place in Ireland prior to the crash.

The interesting thing is, the neighborhood is nowhere near as bad as the photographs look. 

The property is a one bedroom w/ no view, and it definitely doesn’t look like the pics as the broken floor tile, missing grout etc do not get photographed.  

The commercial lender is going to offer you a lower LTV and a slightly higher interest rate, but it basically unlocks unlimited financing.

BP Experts - I've got my first motivated seller from direct mail campaign and I'm wondering if there's a way to unlock value from the situation.  

I know, I buy and show these sad places all the time and wonder what it would be to unlock that door every night after work to face the mess.

Most should not be allowed past the gate, but it was left unlocked.

Also look at Faira.com and do everything that a broker would do like professional photographs, great description, open houses, printed materials, signage, etc, and I think you have a huge leg up and getting your home sold.

Granted, all my purchases up until this point have been off market deals; but if you’re making a percentage of my potential profit, I expect you to do more than answer my call and unlock the door.

When I studied that topic, perhaps obsessively, it unlocked a tremendous number of opportunities that I previously missed.
