Defaulted Mortgages – Buying a First Mortgage at 28%

Filed under Real-Life Case Studies
I sent a $6,152 check to a contractor on a property I own in Hollister, California, and I’m wondering if it was a good investment.
“Why did you buy a property, Dean? I thought you were a Note buyer?”
Yes, I am.
I bought the 1st Deed of Trust on this property 2 months ago – it had a face value of $500,000 when it was originated in 2005, the borrowers never made any payments on it, and I foreclosed on it last month.
And I just listed this house for $260,000.
So … where’s the “bad news” on this defaulted mortgage transaction?
Well … the Hollister market makes me nervous. This isn’t south Florida or Riverside County (the worst areas nationally in terms of price depreciation), but still … it’s California.
In fact, this is my only California investment right now.
What if it doesn’t sell?
What if I’m stuck holding onto it for a while?
Well …
Maybe I can afford to lower the price a little.
After all, I only paid $140,000 for the 1st Deed of Trust.
