Does this property look familiar to you? Perhaps you saw it before on BMIT when ocrenter profiled it in March 2007. At that point, a notice of default had been filed. This post is worth a look because you can see what kind of re-fi madness we're dealing with.
It looks like the property eventually went back to the bank despite the fact that it was up for sale in 2007 for $2.9 million at one point.
See how many typos and misspellings you can spot in the listing description. Unbelievable...
Two other properties are in trouble on this street: 23 Dennis Lane (an REO that is past the point of help) and 2 Dennis Lane, a preforeclosure.
Suffice to say, the lenders' losses on this property are staggering. It will be interesting to see what this one ends up selling for, but as you can see by the income and downpayment requirements, only an exclusive group can legitimately gain entry to this level of home.

I guess banks don't check the listing info for spelling errors. If I was paying a hefty commission to some realtor, I certainly would.
What do realtors do these days anyway? Put lockboxes on front doors, then go surfing?
25% decline starts feeling like a big chunk of change when it's coming off a $2M house.
Fraudera Ranch! Bunch of overextended poser psuedo rich who are about to take a bite out of a giant Kharma sandwich. Enjoy!
Maybe they can finally wake up to the reality that they should be shopping at JCpenney and Target instead of buying all of their Ed Hardy, Juicy, $200 Jeans and an assortment of overpriced Nordstrom crap. BTW, put down the latte and cell phone while driving and enjoy spending all your extra crash or maxing out your credit cards filling up that Hummer or Escalade. Ladera, Talega and Coto have become a cliche!
