Driving by and doing a broker's professional opinion on houses about to be foreclosed can be sad. Lots of times the people who lived there have tried to make the home lovely and livable. This particular bpo looked pretty desolate from the front. I'd been in it, however, and knew that it had been improved with a new bedroom and bath, granite counter tops and new floor coverings.
It was a classic example of "You can't make an old house into a new house....no matter how much money you spend." It was sold to someone who then lost it and it became a foreclosure. From the front it appeared to be an ugly little 3 bedroom 1 bath house with a carport. Inside, of course, it was much better.
Looking at my bpo photos, I came across this photo of the mailbox. It shows the love that someone had felt for this house. And the flowers in the background set it off perfectly.
