Calling all opportunistic real estate investors stateside and international:

Foreclosure.com wants to alert you to a 117-unit condominium complex in Miami Beach, Fla., which will be featured in an upcoming bankruptcy auction.

It’s a liquidation sale, meaning that it must be sold to the highest bidder. There is no reserve price and/or minimum bid.

Sound too good to be true? Well, it is … that’s the reason we’re passing the good news along.

The property comprises:

• Nine contiguous buildings
• A 117-unit condo project
• 53 unsold units
• 64 additional rentals in four buildings

We’re available to coordinate property inspections if you’re interested, as well as provide additional information and answer all questions on this awesome opportunity. This is your chance to potentially own a massive slice valuable Miami Beach real estate for a fraction of the cost.

Act now before it’s too late — the auction is scheduled for Dec. 2009!

Feel free to email our investment coordinator, Anthony Segrich, direct (aseg…@foreclosure.com) or call (561) 988-9669 ext. 7250. Serious investors only.

On Foreclosure.com, of course. Paul Owers from the Sun Sentinel explains:

“… there are many bank-owned properties here in Florida. Banks often offer reduced or no closing costs when these homes are purchased. All lenders are motivated to unload their inventories, so there are deals to be had out there. As far as financing, rates are still at historic lows and Federal Housing Administration loans allow for as little as 3.5 percent for down payments. You can contact different banks or check out websites such as Foreclosure.com.”

Inadequate property preservation is among the many negative impacts that foreclosures have on neighborhoods nationwide.

Broken windows, litter, untamed landscaping and green pools, among other deleterious side effects of abandoned/bank-owned homes, all affect nearby property values.

Banks, local governments, Homeowner Associations (HOAs) and even good neighbors often all do their best to stay on top of regular maintenance — it’s in their collective best interests.

However, when the volume of foreclosures becomes too much to handle — whether it’s because of a lack of financial or other resources — some towns and cities have no other choice but to get creative and find alternate, less expensive, solutions.

Such is the case in Wellington, Florida.

From the Palm Beach Post:

“Wellington officials are installing catfish from the Amazon in the swimming pools of foreclosed houses to see whether the 18-inch fish, called Pterygoplichthys and commonly known as ‘plecos,’ will be a cost-effective, eco-friendly method of cleaning stagnant pools…. The village has started a pilot program using the algae-eating fish, called Pterygoplichthys and commonly known as ‘plecos’ or ’sailfin catfish,’ in slime-choked swimming pools. Mitchell hopes the slime-eaters will be an inexpensive and eco-friendly way to clean up abandoned pools, an all-you-can-eat banquet of scum that’s the catfish equivalent of Cafe Boulud.”

The foot-and-a-half long scum suckers sell for $15 a pop and are expected to set Wellington back about about $700, according to the report. That’s about $6,300 in annual savings that would have been passed on to potential buyers.

The fish, unfortunately, are not included — the non-natives will be relocated or destroyed because they cannot be released into the wild.

Fannie Mae — among the largest mortgage lending institutions in the nation — has introduced an attractive financing program to “jump-start sales” of its homes in South Florida and beyond, according to the Daily Business Review.

HomePath.com, which includes all properties that are owned by Fannie Mae, will now offer homebuyers the opportunity to purchase foreclosures with just 3 percent down through its HomePath® Mortgage Financing program.

The report indicates that “buyers of Fannie Mae-owned homes can finance up to 97 percent of the sale price and don’t need to buy mortgage insurance, typically a requirement of low down-payment loans.”

Jane Severn, Fannie Mae director of new business initiatives, had this to say about the financing program:

“We heard from buyers that getting financing is one of their biggest challenges when looking to buy a property, particularly foreclosed properties. We are trying to be as flexible as possible for someone to buy a Fannie Mae home.”

There is a wide selection of homes currently listed on HomePath.com, including single-family homes, condominiums, and town houses, which are located in a variety of neighborhoods in all corners of the United States.

NBA stars present and past, Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning, recently joined the foreclosure fight in South Florida, taking part in a roundtable discussion and bus tour that highlighted the growing foreclosure issue and how it’s affecting Miami communities.

HOPE NOW Alliance sponsored the Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida (NHSSF) event, which was designed to raise awareness of the housing crisis that has gripped the region, as well as promote the free foreclosure assistance resources that are currently available to cash-strapped homeowners.

Here’s a snip from Wade via the Miami Herald:

“It hurts my heart. I know it hurts everyone’s heart in here. I’m here to help bring awareness to this and to let everyone know that there is an opportunity for them, and that there is hope.”

Wade plays professional basketball for the local Miami Heat and is currently among the top talents in the league. Mourning — who played for the Heat on-and-off for about 10 seasons — retired in 2008 and is the only player to have his number retired by the organization.

Their collective star power and celebrity undoubtedly helped garner much-needed attention for a problem that needs fixing fast to reduce the amount of residents in the area losing their homes.

In addition to the roundtable discussion, Wade and Mourning participated in a bus tour, visiting distressed homeowners and educating them about their options such as renegotiating the terms of their loans. The pair, naturally, also posed for photos and signed autographs for fans at each stop.

According to the report, “Miami was the third stop on HOPE NOW’s nationwide ‘Bringing Hope Home’ bus tour. Earlier this year, the caravan rolled through Newark, New Jersey, with Queen Latifah and Wyclef Jean, and Atlanta, featuring Mary J. Blige and Big Boi.”

Keep the wheels on that foreclosure bus turning round and round ….
