分享一下這個 Condo 投資實例 （多圖）
Condo 是 2003 建的。 整個 community 有 300 個 unit 左右。
這個 Unit 位於一個很不錯的 community， 離一些商業中心也很近。community 還有 Playground, swimming pool, gym, 網球場, 沙灘排球場 ,Office …
這個 unit 是 one bedroom one bathroom， with 788 SF heated area， 865 SF gross area （可能包括 balcony 吧).
前房主在 2006 年 2月的買價是 $139，900。 去年12月 short sale 的 asking price 是 $49,000, 我 wife offer 了 $45,000. 她昨天以 $45,000 close了這個 purchase。
每個月的 association fee 是 $140， 去年的 property tax 是 $2，264 (about < $200/month). 現在有一個 tenant， 一年的 lease 到 April， rent 是 $800/month. Tenant 還想到時 renew lease。
不明白為什麽原房東這麽低的價格賣呢？還有人給繳著房租？
This is the situation: The owner (a couple) is from Orlando, and they bought several condo units in Tampa (at least three units in this community) in 2006 in a very short period of time, hoping that they can re-sell them after the value become higher, and make some good profit. At that time the market was still going up (early 2006). But as we all know the market turn back probably in the middle of 2006, and now is much down from the peak. With the current market value of the properties much lower than what they have borrowed from the bank, you know they can no longer afford to pay the mortgage any more with so many investment properties.
Same thing is happening all across Florida. Some investors have to walk away from their investment properties because of the current market.
