Bankruptcy

This listing at 3rd Ave E in Spencer, Iowa is among more than 1 million records featured in our comprehensive nationwide real estate database.

What is a bankruptcy estate?

A property owner who is experiencing difficult financial issues will sometimes file for bankruptcy as a last resort. This is a legal proceeding (usually called Chapter 7 bankruptcy), during which a court-appointed receiver / trustee, like Carol F. Dunbar, will be assigned to determine all the assets of a distressed property owner. More often than not, a home or property is one of the most valuable assets that the court-appointed receiver / trustee will leverage to satisfy the distressed property owner’s outstanding debts. The contents of the home, as well as any other assets (e.g. cars, boats, etc.), are also often included in a bankruptcy estate. Carol F. Dunbar is almost always motivated to sell a property included in a bankruptcy filing very fast -- there is no real attachment to it other than to obtain funds to pay off debts. And the savings for a savvy buyer and/or investor looking to buy a house that's part of a bankruptcy filing for sale in Spencer, IA can be tremendous.

First Steps to Buying a Bankruptcy

In order to purchase a bankruptcy property, you will need to approach Carol F. Dunbar to pursue your deal.

Contact Carol F. Dunbar to find out if the property is for sale as part of the bankruptcy.  If so, request the terms for the sale of the property as well as any additional information regarding the condition of the property. This will help you understand the type of investment your are getting into.
