Years ago, in the middle of the melt down, my partners and I ran a "Distressed Property Tour." Once a month, on Saturday morning we would meet at the Thunderbird office with whatever clients showed up and caravan around town to look at REOs, short sales and fixers. I may be odd, but to me, it was kind of fun. We ran into all kinds of strange architectural phenomena. More than a few times, I heard the question, "Why do you think they did that?" I enjoyed interacting with the bargain hunters who were willing to give up their Saturday morning to go traipsing about in hopes of finding a diamond in the rough. About 2 years ago, the number of bank owned homes started to drop off dramatically (a good thing) and we didn't have enough properties to show, so I reluctantly called off the tour.. Ever since then I had in the back of my mind that I should video the tour and let people see these homes without having to get off the couch. This is the first in what hopes to be a series of posts, videoing properties. I will be walking through the homes just like I do when with a client. I call it as I see it, making comments about the good, the bad and the ugly. I am not going to be deliberately negative, but I will mention the power lines in your view, the noise level and any other features not mentioned in the advertising. The video quality is a little rough. It is just me with my phone walking and talking my way through the house. If you are prone to motion sickness, look away from time to time to protect your lunch. I hope you enjoy it. I will get better as I continue. I would really appreciate your feedback.
