Hey Folks,Looking at an otherwise solid REO buy (for flip) on what appears to be a corner lot- come to find out the yard "on the corner" is a parcel owned by the next door neighbor and is "possibly contaminated"... former laundry mat burned down there some 15-20 years ago and between back taxes and possible contamination, it hasn't been touched.

In some cases, homes are listed as sold for under 100K in neighborhoods where retail homes are going for 400-600k, and I'm wondering if someone just dropped a zero fat-fingering the numbers into county records or whatever other system Zillow/Trulia draws from. 

I'm in my 60's, retired military and a trucker with a few SFR's and Multis but was burned out and selling some of them.

As of now, my last hotel burned down in the CA wildfires in Oct 2017. 

If you are not a contractor, you will find that flipping is kind of like riding a unicycle while juggling with burning grenades.

I got burned last year when (again) I had a November rental.

Lots of multis are sold by older or simply burned at owners that self managed.

I used a 15 year am for some unknown reason (fat thumbs maybe). 

Easy way to get burned. 

My grandparent house burned down too, and not sure about my parents house.
