Thank you to a reader this property in Doral. It was originally listed 160 days ago for $745,000. The price has been reduced eight times since then.

I need your help with this daily feature. Do you know of a F@cked Buyer? Just add the MLS number or the FSBO link in the comments section and I will add it to an this daily update in the future.

Yeech, no land, no privacy, 600 G's? LOL, try 399K and even that's too high.

WTF was this dude thinking? He paid over $700k for crappy house with no property line in Doral?

Sorry, but for $700k, I would expect the neighborhood to be relatively free of gangs and street thugs.

Doral is not that bad. This house might not be anywhere near $400,000, but Doral is okay.

Downtown Miami is a 1000 times worse and there are lots of condos on the market there for much more than $600,000.

Another one from Thousand Oaks in Palm Beach County:

MLS#: R2784233

1026 Center Stone Ln
Riviera Beach, FL 33404

Purchased Dec 2005: $390,000
Financed 100%, Adjustable rate starting at 8.05%

Foreclosed, now bank-owned:

Asking Price Now: $256,900
(reduced several times from $328,125)

Assuming full price offer (big assumption):

Loss before commission, title insurance, doc stamps:
$133,000 (34% loss)

Loss AFTER commission, title insurance, doc stamps:
$149,000 (38% loss)

I'm simply amazed that all these Wall Street people were caught off guard by this mortgage implosion. Basically, I've concluded that there are only a handful of smart people on Wall Street. The rest of them are sheep.

Sure glad I sold my Palm Beach Gardens townhouse in early 2006. I can already buy a house for the same price. Probably a mansion by the time this market completely deflates.
