10 Acres “Little House on the Prairie”
Just a few minutes from Highway 97 is the small, private community of Mt Hebron, California. A few miles to the east is a 10 acre parcel with a cute little home nestled in the privacy of the grasses and trees. The house is modest with two bedrooms and a bathroom. It has been stripped of the interior walls, floor coverings, and most fixtures and is ready for new, energy efficient finishes. The ten acres are mostly fenced and easily identifiable. Driving directions to the property are difficult to describe as there are not many nameable landmarks but I did record driving directions from the dashboard of my vehicle on the way to the property.

Great news for buyers looking at foreclosures!
In the last few years the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has created and enforced rules prohibiting FHA buyers from purchasing properties from sellers who had owned the property less than 90 days. This was to protect buyers from someone who might get a screaming deal from a kind old lady and then turn around and jack up the price to sell a month later when prices were climbing faster than the tide comes in. Today, because these predators are all but extinct in the current housing market, there is not much threat of being swindled by a “flipper”. The newest problem affecting neighborhoods is foreclosed houses sitting empty, not being maintained or repaired, being vandalized and … Read entire article »
