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.

I live in PLG’s LM. I’ve never been on Winthrop, so I have no comments on what that street is like. But this house seems wider than the typical 2-story and look at the half-circular driveway in front. The trees added in front to obscure the car is a nice solution. That’s so interesting. Those are some deep front yards, there.
If only the bank would take a call from a random person willing to give up $150K. I don’t care if it takes $250K to fix –you are still ahead.

I say if you LIKE Bed Stuy, keep your comments to yourself.
grand-daddy they found your car….
Why are you people so jealous of Bedford Stuyvesant? It is the ghetto right??? All you people in areas like PS and BH should be glad that police are shooting the black people… Maybe all the black people will get scared and move to the Poconos…
I believe that free car is actually an early ’90’s Cadillac Sedan de Ville. Nice ride to pimp!
Yes, pls do keep your comments to yourself. We don’t want that pesky free speech thing infecting this board!!!
Don’t you just love ignorant talk with racist undertones???
As of late, and according to the 10 O’clock news, it is indeed the COPS that are doing the shooting in Bed-Stuy. And I would love to hear the short selling strategy that one would create on real estate. I’m not even sure that you could even create one synthetically.
If you don’t like Bed-Stuy, just keep your comments to yourself and wait for the hood of your choice to let loose your comments.
Good Grief!
How do you short real estate?
