Today's F@cked Buyer (Miami)

This F@cked Buyer is following the market down. He listed the home 111 days ago for $1.3M. Since October, he's been reducing the price by $10,000 every two weeks. How low will he go? At only 36% off his 2006 purchase price, I think he's got a long way to go.

Today's F@cked Buyer (Coral Springs)

This is a classic F@cked Buyer. At the end of 2006, this couple bought the house using a 80/20 piggy-back loan -- of course, with no money down. The primary mortgage was an interest-only ARM. What's interesting about this house is the timeline of the inevitable foreclosue. First, the ARM was not due to reset until January 2009. So, the homeowners defualted long before the loan ever reset.

The homeowners received their notice of default (Lis Pendens) of February 22, 2008. The final judegment on the case was on April 22, 2008 (surprisingly fast). However, the house is just now being listed on the MLS -- nearly 11 months after the first notice of default and probably 14 months after the couple missed their first payment.

Now the house is being sold for 55% off its original late-2006 purchase price.

New request: I am looking to add "buyers" that have multiple distressed properties for sale. If you know of any, please provide a link or MLS listing to one of their properties. I want to highlight some of speculators that were caught holding multiple properties.
