Hey, look at that. It’s a Deutsche Bank property. At least they’ve seemingly taken ownership of this one.

10 to 1 the inside is trashed.

Looks like yours for $21K. Foreclosure in late 2007.

80 Waverly St

Well isn’t that cute. On 3/11/09 80 Waverly St. in Providence, RI—located in the city’s west end neighborhood—was sold by Greenpoint Mortgage Funding (they’re in Georgia) to SB Holdings LLC (Tulsa, OK) for only $9250. It was then immediately listed for sale to the public at $40K.

SB Holdings LLC is a wonderful institution helping banks “dispose” of “unwanted” “assets” throughout all 50 American states.

Do you have code and zoning violations…tax foreclosures? At SB Holdings we work effectively with numerous major banks, servicers and outsourcers to help them dispose of problem assets. Whether the assets are aged, have negative equity, title issues, low value or a combination of these problems; we offer a disposal strategy that is both fast and economically feasible for all parties involved.

We are committed to full service buying of your excess or unwanted REO inventory. We can assume inventory fast and help your division meet months end qouta’s or end of quarter/year goals.

High sale in 2004 at $200K, foreclosure in 2006. Flopped, traded, dealt, flipped, packaged, and disposed of several more times between ’06 and ’09. If the paper trail is right, this is the second time Greenpoint Mortgage Funding has had its paws on this property since 2006.

Oh, and as of last week, 80 Waverly St. was just listed by the Rhode Island Department of Health as making the state’s worst-of-the-worst list for premises at the highest risk of lead poisoning. This makes it officially inhabitable for children under six. There are 30 homes on the state’s inhabitable list; 27 are in Providence, 26 of those are on the west side, 14 of those in the West End neighborhood (02907) just like 80 Waverly.

Wonder if fixing that lead problem is what SB Holdings LLC means by being the solution to foreclosed properties with code violations.

Yeah, they’ll probably fix that. Everything will work out just fine.

*Stump has seven more abandoned houses to post on just one block of Waverly St between Cranston and Dexter—we’re just getting started unfortunately.
