THey tend to be more worn down. But this is usually only a problem with homes over 10 years. If a condo was built in 2005, how bad can it really be.<BR/><BR/>So for the most part, there is next to no downside, yet you get it for significantly less.<BR/><BR/>The next question is inventory. If you want a 1 bedroom and den, but there are no bank units available, but there are 2 regular units, what do you do? If you need one fast, then you have no choice, but I have my clients wait. yes I tell my clients NOT to buy. We then wait for the perfect unit and jump on it within hours.<BR/><BR/>We just beat out 11 other offers on a bank unit last week. Having an agent that lives in the building and knows what is coming before it comes... priceless.FRANK LL0SA Va Broker- BLOG.FranklyRealty.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647085935682292923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205263409889037080.post-49302695020995570542009-02-11T22:38:00.000-05:002009-02-11T22:38:00.000-05:00frankThank you for this website.What are the pros ...frank<BR/>Thank you for this website.<BR/>What are the pros and cons of bank owned units.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205263409889037080.post-71212039325917540462009-02-09T23:59:00.000-05:002009-02-09T23:59:00.000-05:00Hey Anonymous #1COndo fees on a 2bdr?

Great unit, but over the past six months a number of cracks have emereged in the walls and ceilings (in the sheetrock). I assume the building is settling, or perhaps it's vibrations from the garage below. Has anyone seen similar cracks on higher floors? I've discussed the possibility of repairs with my landlord, but I'm wondering if the problem is likely to subside or continue. I'm not inclined to ask him to make the repairs until the building has finished settling, if that is in fact the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205263409889037080.post-90266784342192314392009-01-05T12:04:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:04:00.000-05:00Hey Lynn,Station Square.I do know one person that ...Hey Lynn,<BR/>Station Square.<BR/>I do know one person that rented in 1021 waiting for his unit to be ready in SS. Once he moved, he was disappointed. <BR/><BR/>That building is also very scattered. There are multiple entrances and I don't think they have 24 security, but I could be wrong. <BR/><BR/>Their parking is shared with public pay parking. 1021 Parking is exclusively for the building.<BR/><BR/>Their pool is on the ground level, so all the 9 floors above can look down, and noise travels, so it isn't as good for parties vs a rooftop pool.<BR/><BR/>They were completed a year later, but purchased a year or two earlier. The purchased prices are much lower, so I have yet to see one foreclosed unit there. Therefore they haven't had the downward pressure on unit.<BR/><BR/>Unit sizes are up to 10% smaller for a 2/2. <BR/><BR/>All in all more expensive.<BR/><BR/>No monument views. (especially no rooftop views)<BR/><BR/>Pros: 1/2 block closer to metro.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps. Let me know if you want to visit some of them.<BR/><BR/>By the way, 1021 has a 1 bdr and a 2 bdr bank unit coming soon for $100k under other units. But you have to act fast on those.FRANK LL0SA Va Broker- BLOG.FranklyRealty.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647085935682292923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205263409889037080.post-85126310411531661902009-01-05T11:12:00.000-05:002009-01-05T11:12:00.000-05:00Frank: Can you add Station Square to the mix and ...Frank: Can you add Station Square to the mix and run a comparison to 1021 and other local complexes, pros and cons?Lynn Coccodrilli, Small Business Ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361348754668821576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205263409889037080.post-21291051597096286202009-01-03T19:44:00.000-05:002009-01-03T19:44:00.000-05:00Just craigslist rentals.
