If filling in the pool, it would require holes jack hammered into the bottom and the walls knocked down to, on average, two feet below grade. The concrete and rebar will be allowed to be pushed into the pool, the rest would have to be clean fill dirt. Also the electric would have to be removed.

Just got through doing one in Sachse and these were their code requirements.

100 down ?

If they dont sell eventually, the price is reduced . Then there are programs they apply or make the property eligable for. The one we bought last year was $100 down, tjoigh we did have to put up 1% earnest money but got all back minus the $100 at closing.

Might be a good deal to some at $130k. Looks like some work. Is at least try to make the pool go before I filled it in. Ours was black and appeared to have been empty for a while. Worked good once I got her going.

I learned my lesson on putting large sums down a few purchases back and will never do that again. A house note is the cheapest money you can borrow. The interest is tax deductible if you are in my bracket. Having liquid assets is way more important to me than a low payment. Your situation may vary.

Yessir. Right now the difference between borrowing $150k and $100K is less than $230 a month on a 30-year note. I'd rather have the $50k cash (for a lot of reasons) and take the write off.

HUD is screwy as most HUD foreclosures will have the first 15 days be sealed bid by occupants only then it will go open bid where investors can bid as well. I've been outbid even going $20k over the listed price. So good luck to yall.

If the mortgage company is listed on the tax rolls as the "owner" (and there are 10 previous owner's), there's a reason. Sounds like you found it.

yep unfortunately it is a great location with nice neighbors they even introduced themselves while I was looking at the house.
