Foreclosures of the Week
If you don’t mind disposing of the abandoned town car in the front yard, 148 Winthrop Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens looks like an interesting foreclosure opportunity. The lien on the 2,000-square-foot house is only $143,586, so it won’t be hard for the bank to get its money back. Any guesses what the market value…
If you don’t mind disposing of the abandoned town car in the front yard, 148 Winthrop Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens looks like an interesting foreclosure opportunity. The lien on the 2,000-square-foot house is only $143,586, so it won’t be hard for the bank to get its money back. Any guesses what the market value of this place (which presumably needs a lot of work) would be? Meanwhile, over on Hart Street in Bed Stuy, this freestanding 2,250-square-foot house could be an interesting turn-around opportunity at the right price. It sold for $560,000 back in 2004 and the current lien is $470,463. Both properties are scheduled to be auctioned tomorrow at 3 p.m. at 360 Adams Street, Room 261.

Oh, sweet Jesus, you’re right (bursting into uncontrollable fits of sobbing). Wishful thinking. Maybe he’ll get caught doing booty bumps with a transgender hooker–at last?
make that jan. 2009.
still another year of this nightmare, sadly.
Whoa– a whole new, deluded brand of douche! Guest 4:39, agreed that responsible buyers will do fine in Bed Stuy and throughout city; agreed the sky isn’t falling. But if the current state of things in Iraq (and at home) is what you Republicans call “winning,” I can see just the level of intelligence that stuck us with this pathetic tool of a president. You guys are doing “a heckuva job.”
Someday this nightmare’s gonna end… January 20, 2008, to be precise.
I see the bedbugs are coming out for this one. Still trying to downplay Bed Stuy even though the housing melt down has already been factored into Wall Street and there is no sky falling. Sorry naysayers, we are not going into a recession despite the best hopes of the Democrats. And by the way, we’re actually winning in Iraq. Too bad the NY Times won’t report it. Adieu, bedbugs and ballyhoo.
That caddie woulda looked really sweet parked on top of The What.
I’m interested in how this process works as well. I wonder if it would be possible to see what becomes of some of the previous foreclosures of the week…
12:55 – you live in PLG and have never been on Winthrop? Pretty pathetic! There’s more to PLG than just LM. Go South a bit!
I just walked just over to 148 Winthrop to have a look. The town car (or Caddie)i s GONE–I guess it doesn’t go with the house after all.
The house is one of a row of 10 similar tan brick houses that wouldn’t look out of place in the South Slope or Ridgewood–not bad looking, but not as nice as most houses in LM, the rest of the PLG HD, or several other PLG blocks. All ten houses have had their front areaways converted to parking–not very attractive IMO, but you can’t deny the allure of private parking. #148 is the next to the last housesin the row, going south). The southernmost house is next to a playground that’s attached to the school yard of PS 92, which fronts on Parkside Ave., so I’d think there might be a noise problem during the day.
Fuck the what.
Brownstoner revoked posting for user “The What” after about a thousand posts of entire articles cut and pasted from other sources, interspersed with his semiliterate ranting and raving. So now he rants pathetically as “guest”.
Someday The What’s idiocy is gonna end…
Fuck The What.
