Bel air Neighborhood in Greeley is great central location- Close to shopping,parks,good schools,highway access, the Bel air neighborhood is a great central location in Greeley. Most of the houses in the neighborhood were built in the early 1970's and have different architectual designs. As opposed to the recent cookie cutter homes they build now. As an Inspector I have to watch for aluminum wiring and some asbestos products used in that era, but the are can not be beat. With the price of gasoline and crazy drivers, a nice centralized neighborhood just makes sense to live in.I have lived in this neighborhood for over a decade and really love it.

FHA financing is NOT available “Exterior trim needs painting. Remediate mold-like substance in the basement bedroom closet. Asbestos has been found in the textured ceiling and drywall and is currently non-friable. Basement was finished without a permit so the City of ...

160 and 166 N 1st Ave, Greeley CO $11,000 List Date: 03/12/2010    Bid Deadline: 3/21/2010    Investors may bid on 3/22/2010   I tried really hard to find some value here, but I’m afraid it’s a “scraper” (bring your bull-dozer). I’ve seen this property come up for sale for HUD several times.  I found the December 2009 listing where it was priced at $24,000, obviously that deal fell through.  This is 2 houses on one corner lot.  HUD did a good job of describing this property.  “ Mold like substance present, take appropriate action. Kitchen must be removed from accessory unit. Furnaces, plumbing & electrical are not in working condition. Roof, siding, walls, soffit, fascia, gutter system & window trim need repairs. Property has well & septic systems. It is located on 1st Ave, a busy traf...

This home is clean and in move in condition (except for the missing toilet).  It needs paint inside and out, but paint may not save the siding on the back.  I also have to question the roof construction… its “wavy” like it sagged in places, but I think that’s the way it was built.  If you don’t qualify for HUD’s Good Neighbor Program, there’s a better deal listed in Greeley ...

2907 W 12th St Greeley $102,000 List Date: 01/29/2010  Bid Deadline: 2/07/2010 Investors may bid on 2/08/2010 This is a nice quiet street of brick houses.  This house is in good condition on the exterior and has a large covered deck in the back.  The upstairs has 3 BR’s, nice wood floors and a savable kitchen but only 1 small bathroom.  There’s a second bathroom in the basement but there are signs of mildew in the basement.  The bedrooms downstairs do NOT have fire escape windows and I doubt the kitchen in the basement is legal either.  I give the basement little value as-is. “The plumbing system was operational at the time of inspection with the possibility of ice in the lines.” HUD Property Case#: 052-467786   Search for Colorado HUD Homes!

2220 A Street Greeley Colorado $77,000 List Date: 01/29/2010  Bid Deadline: 2/07/2010 Investors may bid on 2/08/2010 From the outside this is one of the worst maintained house on the street, but it’s not that bad.  The inside needs all new flooring, a good cleaning and painting.  There’s a missing kitchen drawer that’s going to be hard to replace and an illegal kitchen in the basement, but that’s about it.  The basement bedrooms do have fire escape windows and appear to be legal and the bathroom is okay if you don’t mind the washer and dryer in the same room.  If you can swing $23,000 more, you’re probably better off with 428 E 28th Street Lane Greeley $100,000 “Replace missing outlet covers..” HUD Property Case#: 052-122847 Search for Colorado HUD Homes!

2441 W 9th St Greeley $95,000 List Date: 01/22/2010  Bid Deadline: 1/26/2010 Investors may bid on 1/27/2010   Something about this house caught my attention. When I first looked at the poor condition of the exterior I thought: “Here we go another piece of...”, but I was wrong. Yeah the roof is going to need replaced soon, because the “new” asphalt shingles were installed right over the original cedar shakes. There’s already been a leak in the closet behind the chimney. I also question the condition of the garage roof, but the rest of the exterior stuff should be minor. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. The fireplace needs something to make it stand out but the rest of the house has character. The Bedrooms and large but I really like the HUGE kitchen. With the exception of the...

1725 5th St Greeley $68,000 List Date: 01/22/2010  Bid Deadline: 1/31/2010 Investors may bid on 2/01/2010     There’s a lot of square footage for the money here, but there’s also a LOT of work that needs to be done, but before we get into repairs let’s start with the basics; location, location, location. This corner lot is on a busy street and the entrance to a mobile home park. To make matters worse, the common mail box for the MH park is IN the front yard. If you’re okay with traffic, then let’s start working. The roof looks terrible, the rafters have sagged and there’s a large rotted spot near the garage.The foundation has freeze cracks and the basement smells musty. The basement has short ceilings, a scary bathroom and large holes in almost every piece of drywall. Although there is...

504 N 28th Ave Ct Greeley $98,000 List Date: 01/22/2010  Bid Deadline: 1/31/2010 Investors may bid on 2/01/2010 I have never liked Attached Townhomes. Here’s one reason: Who takes care of the missing shingles on the common roof? Well the correct answer is, unless there is a Common Interest Community (CIC or HOA) set up for exterior maintenance, each homeowner is responsible for his/her own side. To save money they should coordinate this at the same time but I have seen ½ of a roof replaced before! So much for my rant… This is a weird little floor plan. First, the winding stairs are going to make moving furniture difficult. Second, the main floor bathroom is also the laundry room. Third, there’s a 3rd bedroom downstairs but I’m not positive the window meets fire escape requirements. The...

330 E 28th Street Greeley $100,000 List Date: 01/22/2010  Bid Deadline: 1/31/2010  Investors may bid on 2/01/2010 Riverview Farm is a quiet neighborhood cut out of farm land just east of Hwy 85. The house was built in 2005 and is still in nice condition. The only strange thing is the exterior door in the master bedroom. I guess it’s a bonus if you need to let the dog out in the middle of the night? The other features I noted were a fenced yard, 30 year shingles and a full unfinished basement.

1117 4th St, Greeley CO $38,000 List Date 12/11/2009   Bid Deadline: Daily/all bidders. PENDING ~ Bid Accepted  1/20/2010 $ 34,000 HUD says, "Due to bowed foundation walls and uneven floors, a structural inspection of foundation is required." Well it might because someone went to a lot of work trying to expand the basement with a shovel!  They put in concrete footings, some posts and a beam.  The question is: was it done correctly?  If you can live with that, the house has character, wooden floors, wide wood trim and some columns in the living room, but you better bring your paint scraper (and see United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "Reducing Lead Hazards When Remodeling Your Home" because 75% of homes before 1978 have lead paint.  The kitchen is a mess and the one and ...
