BP saved me $30,000.00 on my most recent Single Family purchase!

Tallahassee, FL · Member since 2013 · 108 posts · 55 votes

Just closed on my a single family home that I will add to my rental pool. Well, I was willing and eager to pay $30K more than I ultimately paid, simply because I followed the many post regarding the Hubzu process, and it worked!

Because this, I have upgraded to a Pro Account as a gesture of gratitude.

I received the link to this in the bigger pockets email and when I clicked to read it, it basically is a testimonial. There is no detail, evidence, etc.. This post seems to contradict the bigger pockets philosophy and seems awfully a lot like the real estate gurus - "click here to learn how you can make millions in real estate."

Why it share here for the greater good of the BP community?

    Congrats @Jay H.! That's awesome! 

    I have came across many properties in my area that are listed by Hubzu but most seem WELL overpriced for the market. Would it be possible for you to give a quick recap or point me to the post you used for your Hubzu buying process?

    Thanks! And congrats again! Send some of that extra 30K my way!

    Congrats! @Jay H. 

    @John Gambone  Put "hubzu" in the search and you'll find quite a few threads on them. I shared my experience in some good detail on a few of them.

    These are a few good ones:

    This is some really intriguing info. Thanks for the links @Matt Overbee 

    Hey @Jay H. 

    Any chance you could send me that spicy sauce as well? I have had my eyes on Hubzu for a while, but everything in my area always seems to be listed well above where it makes any sense to try and buy.

    Thanks for any help!

    @Jay H. If you would not mind I would like to know your secret as well. I have been put off by hubzu because I think some of the fees are a bit ridiculous.

    Thanks,

    I have not yet been successful with Hubzu.  I would greatly appreciate any extra help (and sauce.)  And I will go through and read all of the auction threads.

    Congrats to you and thanks for the help.
