Hi Mike - yikes! I hope for that lady's sake that bank really gives serious thought to those offers. And with your packaging of that short sale packaging, no doubt you'll get that message across to them. I wish all of you involved in this the best of luck! Ann

Wow Mike!  That is unbelievable.  I can't even imagine all of those in one place. It really is saddest for the homeowners involved.  I hope you can get it all worked out quickly!

Pittsburg? Richmond?

Ann -   Only time will tell.

Vickie - Me too.

Janet - You guessed it.  I purposely tried to keep the city or area out of the post, but those of us who know the areas can easily guess.  I have great Altos charts that paint stronger pictures - but didn't show them here because I they prominently label the city.   All the white space (lavender) in the map is industrial. 

Sign Rider you'll probably not see...  "Honey, stop the car!"    

Mike, Wow.. You are right U-G-L-Y Now that really is very ugly.  I think we are going to see more and more of this.

Wow, I thought for a minute I was looking at our area.  We have these problems too.  Very badly.

Yes, that is definitely an ugly scenerio.  Unfortunately she may just have to walk-away and attempt to start over.

Mike,

Those statistics are SAD !  Looks like you've uncovered a whole new income stream for yourself.  My heart goes out to the folks in those neighborhoods.
