RealtyTrac listings aren't "real"

[tgeller]

RealtyTrac is mostly for foreclosure and other "forced sale" listings, and the price given is not an asking amount -- it's the amount that the current owner owes on the place, which has no relation to what it'll sell for. It's really just the starting price for the live auction that'll take place at City Hall.

Somewhere on each RealtyTrac listing is a note that says whether it's a "listing" (i.e., actually available for the price listed) or something else.

Thanks; I was wondering what was up with that!

that one at at 2808-10 York... I can't believe it would be going for that little! wow. The payments could be manageable, and some of that could easily be rented, which would make the mortgage payment. Hm. (The prices on some of these houses are SO making me nearly cry. This is THE time to buy if ever there was one.)

Yeah, that one really interests me. If it's two apartments per building, I think it would still fall into the four-apartment maximum I now know I have, but I'm not sure if them being separate buildings makes a difference there.

And there's no point in even going to look at 2014 Seymour, given that it's 6 apartments.

I like #4 best. #1 and #2 have *terrible* kitchens.

The downside to 1 and 4 is location -- they're way outside Tremont, and not really where I want to live, so unless they're really magical in some way, I think they're unlikely.
