Duplex Fourplex Trustee Sales San Jose & Silicon Valley
We are tracking 87 imminent Trustee Sales for duplexes and fourplexes in Santa Clara County. Of these, NONE have Trustee Sales prices that make them attractive for investors. 85 of the 87 are 1st position loans, the other two are 2nds behind large 1sts. Based on our value assessments, none of the 87 are worth considering.
Of the 87, many will have their trustee sales postponed for a variety of reasons (processing a short sale, bankruptcy, loan modification, etc).
Those that do go for auction, will revert back to the bank - unless there are some foolish investors at the auction paying over market rate.
Then we will see these as bank owned properties for sale within the next month or two.
For great guidance in investment properties in San Jose and Silicon Valley, call us today 415-269-6249.

San Jose fourplex investments - short sales, REOs or regular sales?
We just toured 7 fourplexes in west San Jose and Campbell - short sales, bank owned and regular sales. The highlights?
1. Best price - $799,000 for 3,984 square feet on a 10,000 square foot lot. Awesome old growth tree landscaping in lieu of tacky patio area.
2. Best location - $770,000 for 2,986 square feet in west San Jose. Corner lot, private access to parking area and a garage for the owner's unit.
3. Worst price - the short sale in Campbell that had the best attributes. Why ask a lofty, over- market price on a short sale that needs to move?
4. Worst comparison - the regular sale identical building $68,000 under the short sale across the street.
5. Best after tour meal - La Pizzeria in downtown Campbell - 4 solid stars on Yelp.
Call us for great deals in the duplex - fourplex market. In San Jose, where there has been sub-prime, low down or no down lending, there is opportunity of short sales and bank owned property.

Foreclosures Halted - Bank of America and Wells Fargo in Review
The current issue of reviewing the legality of banks foreclosing on borrowers is going to be a very long mess to unravel. Bank of America halted their foreclosure activity until they can review their procedures. Wells Fargo Bank is also reviewing all its pending foreclosure properties and those that it recently acquired. Does this mean that Bank of America and Wells Fargo are the only banks with liabilities to review? Heck no! Every bank is scrambling on how to best manage this mega mess. The Title Companies are sweating this too. And the real estate attorneys are salivating.
This will have a major impact on the market because home buyers and investors will not have certainty on a large segment of the housing inventory. This segment - bank owned homes in California - accounted for over 43% of sales in the last year!
A winner in this mess will be new home developers and owners of homes that have not been foreclosed on. The short sellers will also benefit because the banks will give them more time since foreclosure is essentially off the table for now. Short sellers may be cautious too because they will be dealing with banks that have more on their mind than the short selling of one person's particular home.
And this too shall pass, but when, that is to be seen...
What do you think this will do?

Commercial REO & Non-Performing Note Sales
The commercial real estate bank owned opportunities will not materialize as did the residential REO market of the last couple years. Most commercial banks have taken a completely different strategy to reducing their bad debt. Few commercial banks are even starting the foreclosure process because they do not want the bad commercial assets on their books. This necessitates increasing cash reserves to offset the bad debt. In lieu of this, the banks would rather sell their non-performing notes to investors, who then can foreclose on the properties without incurring FDIC triggers.
The commercial distressed property opportunities will be even more attractive to investors than the residential deals were. The challenge is how to participate in these opportunities.
My partner, Julie Duong and I have the solution. We are pairing investors with banks to facilitate these transactions. Call us for a consultation so that we can deliver to you the best deals available.

Bank owned commercial office condos
If you are looking to own office space for business use, this is a very good time to be shopping. As was the perfect storm for residential condos that were built in the last 5 years, the same is true of the commercial office condos that were built at the same time. A lot of new product came on line in the last few years - essentially commercial developers created a new type of office building, parceled out to sell as condos. This was a great concept to provide new office space in small sizes so that businesses could buy their own space. The problem was timing. Some of these developments hit the market at $400-$500 per foot. Now developments in Santa Clara county are selling for the $100-$200 per foot range. We are tracking very good deals in Fremont, San Jose, Sunnyvale and Mountain View to name a few.

San Jose Bank Owned Homes
I just did a search of future San Jose Bank Owned Homes based on a 5 mile radius scan of Notice of Trustee Sales. The parameters were, 5 mile radius of my office at Intero Santana Row and NTS within a 60 day period. The return was 775 homes scheduled for trustee sale in the next two months. Of course, many of these will be postponed due to short sale offers, bankruptcy filings and mutual agreements with lender & borrower to work through loan modification, etc. This is a very large number given the comparison to the approx 3,500 homes on the market in Santa Clara County. An additional 20% REO or short sale inventory will have a significant impact on pricing. Banks are being cautious not to flood the market. Although, some banks may decide to sell their inventory first at perhaps higher prices than waiting it out.
