I'm not familiar with the area. But, at this price, is it possible for this property to be a cash-flow positive property?

At the price, you could probably buy this and pay only $850/month in PITI+HOA. Couldn't you rent this out for more than $850 a month?

You'll find better

That house swallows the lot

Yeah, I know there's better out there, but for the first time in four years, I am starting to see some properties that have some cash-flow possibilities. I'm still waiting to buy investment rental properties (not flipping properties), but I think we'll have quite a few to pick from in a couple of years.

The good news is I doubt there will be very many investors out there competing to buy rental investements.

Most long-term investors probably have lost their shirts in at the end of the bubble. And, any newbies will be scared off by the 50% drops.

I could be wrong, but I think two years from now will be the best time ever for rental investors.

I totally agree. Next year is going to tell the story and once people realize the boom IS NOT coming back we will see some real bargains on a regular basis.
I am seeing steady list price declines on Ocean Access Canal front homes in Lighthouse Point and Deerfield Beach.

Heres another one. Not a bank repo, but an ocean access canal home on a great street in Deerfield Beach. Several houses from the inter coastal. MLS # F838807
Came on the market in July when there was only one deepwater home in Deerfield priced under $1 mil.($900k) This one started at $849k.
Price Reduced: 07/20/07 -- $849,900 to $799,000
Price Reduced: 09/07/07 -- $799,000 to $749,900
Now at $745 in a market that was touted as having "tear downs" worth $900k last year. A house several doors down just sold last year for $1.25 mil.
