Sorry folks,I have been busy. I will post the ending by this weekend. Thanks.

The price that I won at along with the 5% fee ended up being net below 30k or so of market. However, there's another twist to this story.  Here's a hint to the 4th and final part :I shall name it "Attack of the evil thugs at US Bank".  >:D.   

There's more to this story. I came in around 58k below market. Sorry, I was not clear in my last post. But the story is done yet..

The realtors that US Bank had hired weren't able to sell the house, so they sourced it to a private auction company.

The auction company didnt care how you financed this. In my case I had a loan approval with x amount down etc.  They only wanted 5% upfront since that was their total fee in the transaction.  This was non recoverable if you couldnt get the financing done.

With this auction you had to pay 5% upfront. The rest you finance ( I had my loan approved through John Wheaton) or pay cash, but there is a clause that you close escrow within 30 days.

He gave up 2/3rds of the way  :)

Martin and I did our homework before I showed up... ;)

Ok, guys, here's part 3 of 4 . Hopefully wrap this up in next few days. By this time the clock was ticking. We knew we had to be out of the house by May and we really had to do something. Before we hired Martin we had registered for Shea Homes in Brea, Toll Brothers in Yorba Linda and Las...

Folks, I just wanted to post my own personal experience here.. This is part One... By the way much thanks to Martin Mania( USC) and John Wheaton( Solvent Green) for helping me through this nightmare... About 15 months ago we rented a house in OC(not going to mention what city because most of...

We finally went by Lambert Ranch today. I can see why San Marino is not selling. Lambert was packed..the homes are nicely done. Landfill, cell tower and rest of all the negatives are not going to matter to many people. It's easy to walk into their models and get carried away.  I like the wok...

We signed paperwork and backed out  the following day. The backyard and mello Roos were the biggest issues we had with Las Ventanas.  The sfr bang for buck is the best in irvine but the MR is $5000.  The house we were getting has still not sold since early March. 26 seedling is the address.  It...
