Property Description
Here is an awesome property that has it all. Just minutes from Houghton Lake, the possibilities on this 46-acre parcel are endless. The home is approximately 2,000 +/- sq. ft. with an open floor plan including 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Adjacent to the kitchen is a very large enclosed porch with Tongue and groove pine harvested from the property, large picture windows overlooking the pond, and a wood stove that will allow you to sit by the fire and enjoy the view. There is also a large covered porch that is open and has all rough-sawn lumber in the ceiling as well, which would be the perfect spot for some patio furniture. The pond has it's own dedicated well, which allows you to fill it if ever needed during those dry summer months and includes a windmill that runs an aeration pump. The windmill needs a little TLC, but the seller has all the components for it. The home also has a very large, fully finished 2.5 car attached garage with garage door openers. There is a very nice 30x40 pole barn with 2 large overhead doors and an additional finished heated bunkhouse that is approximately 20x30 and can sleep up to 16 people. The bunkhouse has a door wall leading to the pond in the backyard and would be a great place for guests to have privacy in their own space while visiting. The pole barn and bunkhouse are both plumbed and ready for wood boiler heat. Additional outbuildings include a horse barn with a taller roof for camper or boat storage, a single-car detached garage approximately 16x24, a chicken coop, a smaller stable that was used for mini horses in the past, and an approximate 8'x12' storage shed behind the bunkhouse. With a little TLC, this could be an amazing homestead for someone with all the buildings in a great setting. Minutes from Houghton Lake and approximately 4 miles from the trailhead, this one is in an excellent location. The property has some very diverse timber with a little bit of everything. Thick areas with lots of wildlife including Deer, Turkey and Bear. There are many different species of fruit trees scattered throughout the property including apple, pear and plum, the seller says approximately 25 fruit trees on the property and all are producing fruit. There are some perfect spots for food plots for the hunter and just to the south of the property is a large chunk of state land for even more recreational activities as well. It all that is not enough, as a nice bonus, there is also an active cell tower on the backside of the property that provides some nice annual income as well which is believed to be transferrable to the new owner. A copy of the lease can be provided to qualified buyers or licensed agents for review. This one has it all and surely won't last long.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
