They're Ba-ack!

Here's a little cabin in the sky I highlighted in 2009:

Meanwhile a few blocks over we have the patient investor:

If they wait long enough, it'll finally make sense to default...

Dawg, make an offer at $140k and see what happens. Give 72 hours for a response. You might just get it. Look at 1945-1947 Schaefer rd 95472, $950k would certainly take it and $925k might.
