Another Huge Auction Coming

As many of you know, in the early spring I attended the Real Estate Disposition Corporation's (REDC) house auction at the Washington Convention Center. There were over 9,000 bidders and I was able to snag 2 investment properties for my own investment group which we turned into successful rental properties. I wanted to let everyone know that REDC is coming back to town for yet another auction. The coming auction is on October 4th and 5th and will again be at the Washington Convention Center. It looks like they have about 450 houses to auction off, with most of them in Northern Virginia.

Looks like there is some good stuff in DC as well, in fact I notice there are big auction signs at the corner of 8th and K Streets NE in SOFLO (South of Florida Avenue). The exact address is 800 K Street NE, it's the big green monster on the corner that backs to West Virginia Avenue, NE. This house has been on the market a while. I have not shown it, but our Buyer Specialist Charlynne has and she tells me that it needs some serious TLC but that the bones are there.



Another one that caught my eye was 300 Oklahoma Avenue NE #201 over in Kingman Park/Hill East neighborhood. They have a starting bid on that OK Ave condo at 49K, not bad, I think you could cover rent on that if you got it under 100K easily.

For more information, be sure to see their website with all the auction listings at www.USHomeAuction.com. You will find auctions all over the country, the link to the DC listings are further down the page. Good luck, and if you want to know more about my auction experience feel free to call me at 202-369-9821 or email me at Michael@RealAstute.com
