Florida Foreclosed Property

Looking for a cheap property in Florida? Well the good news brought by the recession is that there is no shortage of availablility. Prices in Florida are, in the main, way down. If you really want to make a killing, though, then bank repossessions (known as foreclosures in the US) are the way to go. 

If you browse of the following link you'll find a selection of foreclosed properties that we've cherry picked for your perusal. These are exceptional properties in good areas and all in an excellent state of repair. Most importantly though, they're cheap. 

Some people say their conscience won't allow them to purchase a property which has been the source of much discomfort for the previous owners. If this is the case just remember that the previous occupants are now the owners no longer. What's done is done. The bank is now in possession of these properties. Not bidding on the property isn't going to be of much assistance to you but will be a huge help to someone else, because someone is going to profit from the rock bottom prices on offer. Remember, if you don't make an offer, someone else will. Either way the previous owners aren't going to profit from the sale, what's done is done and there's nothing you can do about it. It's unfortunate, but that's the way the cookie crumbles as they say in the US.

I have a property in florida that i can no longer afford - mortgage of 300k - sales price of 240k on similar foreclosed ones. Bank very difficult to talk to - continue to charge 8.75 interest - what are the consequenses for me if I just walk away as an irish resident?

Blindly Led,

The immediate consequences are that the bank is entitled to sell the property at whatever value it can achieve and then seek payment of the balance due from you. For instance, if they can sell it for $200k and you still owe $300k, then they can follow you for the $100k balance plus any interest due.

In reality, whether they come after you or not depends entirely on the cost to reward ratio for the bank. If they feel it will cost too much to justify the expense involved in recouping the loss then they will not bother. The debt will, however, remain in your name in the US so I wouldn't make any plans to visit if I were you, you'll be collared at the airport and chucked in jail - Homeland Security ensure that they actually manage to connect the dots.

With harmonisation of revenue gathering activities across the EU (being largely driven by Charlie McCreevy) it is very likely that, in years to come it will be possible for banks to follow such debts across borders. In such a case you could find that this debt comes back to bite you at a later stage.

Simply put, walking away from the debt is not the first port of call you should consider.

In fact, we're considering a newsletter featuring only 'For Sale by Owner' properties at some stage in the near future, so it may be worth getting in touch.
