Daniel Hatmaker from Dixon Team OC gives details of a great opportunity to own a single family residence in the Los Altos area of Long Beach. This 3 bedroom single family residence is listed for 9000 in a neighborhood where similar homes are selling for 5000. Why is it priced so low? It’s a FIXER and the seller is motivated to cash out. This home makes sense for property flippers, those buying to rent and hold or first-time homebuyers looking to get in at a rock bottom price.

Why are these units vacant? shouted Cynthia Scott, as she gestured behind her to the boarded-up apartments at the low-rise Lathrop Homes public housing development. Keeping these units empty, in the midst of an economic and housing crisis, is a terrible waste. CHA, open them up for people who need housing! Scott, a member of the Lathrop Leadership Team, spoke to 200 residents and supporters at a rally October 23. Under the Teams proposal, CHA could house families, including military veterans with children who need affordable housing. That would generate rental income, keep Lathrops buildings in good condition and prevent crime by leasing the units. Today, 600 of Lathrops 900 units are empty. In 1999, when CHA began its Plan for Transformation of public housing, it listed Lathrop as TBD to be determined. Nine years later, there is still no plan. Meanwhile, the CHA has refused to lease any new units. But many units are still in good shape. Leasing 300 of the empty units now would be a positive first step toward the long-term revitalization of Lathrop Homes, community leaders said. The Lathrop Leadership Team, a coalition of residents and agency leaders organized by LSNA to preserve the affordable Lathrop apartments, has championed a vision for the development as a mix of public housing, affordable rental and affordable home ownership without market rate.

This house was a major Oak Park fixer. It actually sold in 2010 for 00, which was the lowest sales price in all of Sacramento County for the year. There was indeed a reason why this one sold so low. It was unsafe, had a fire, and there were numerous code violations too. This house has been completely remodeled from the studs up as well as added on to with a permit and everything done strictly to Sacramento County Code and acceptable to FHA standards. This property was rehabbed in conjunction with the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) through SHRA. The sales price will be the appraised value, so you know you’re going to get a fair deal. The buyers have to be first-time homebuyers and there are income restrictions. Call Housing Group Fund for details at 916-548-2524. This video was shot by Ryan Lundquist of www.LundquistCompany.com.
