[Simone Martorelli]

We're looking to sell a 2 bed / 2 bath condo in Tamarac, FL for $40,000 (negotiable). It's a distressed property with a HUD lien attached.

Property Details:

• City/State: Tamarac, FL

• ARV: ~$169K (based on recent comps)
• Taxes up to date through 2024
• 
  Important Notes:

• Property has a HUD lien for around $239K, from a loan tied to the original (now deceased) owner
• We purchased this through a Broward County foreclosure auction for $40K
  We hold the title, but HUD has not responded to negotiation attempts for lien release
• Unpaid HOA fees are pending (not yet negotiated)

This is a problem property, best suited for a creative or legal-minded investor who:

• Has experience dealing with HUD liens
• Can leverage lien negotiation or other strategies
• Is looking for a deep discount with upside

Our Ask:

• Price: $40,000 (negotiable)
