Today's F@cked Buyer (Pompano Beach)

Today's F@cked Buyer is a bit strange. The previous owner closed on this property on May 25, 2006 for $599,000. Then, just 13 days later, the current "owner" purchased it for $823,100 -- a $224,100 appreciation in less than two weeks. Now the current owner is trying to sell this as a short sale.


426 SUNSET DR Unit: 426, POMPANO BEACH, FL 33062



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.

This is prob. fraud. There should have been some money under the table during the last sale. Now the bank is on the hook

If you buy now, you will find a house like the one you bought for $100K or more less than what you paid. You effectively will be catching a falling knife and become instantly underwater on your mortgage! Imagine going to the bank and asking, "I'd like to open an account for minus (-)$100K". After years of deposits adding up to $100K you will have $0 in the account. Silly isn't it? Well that is exactly what you will be doing if you bought a house right now. Maybe a little more, or a little less, but either way doesn't sound too good does it?
