Chapter 1420 1420. Picking Tenants (45)

Looking at the expectant children, Sophie said angrily: "They are looking for you, why are you stuffing me?"

Li Du said: "Aren't you going to take them to become an Internet celebrity? I will create opportunities for you, and I have other things to be busy, and I am very busy now!"

This is not an exaggeration. After reviewing the information of these manor houses, Luguan summarized them for him, and said: "Boss, these two houses are the most suitable, and one of them may be won by bidding for real estate. That way Prices can be low."

Li Du looked at the information and found that the two manors were located in satellite cities rather than in the Los Angeles area.

In addition to representing the largest city in California, Los Angeles also has a meaning. It is a large area, which refers to a large combined statistical area spanning 5 counties in southern California, covering multiple satellite cities.

One of the estates is in Santa Monica. This small city is located west of Los Angeles, but the distance between the two sides is very close, only 30 kilometers away. If you drive, you can reach the downtown area of ​​Los Angeles in 20 minutes.

In addition, the Beverly Hills where Li Du and Sophie went yesterday is also outside the urban area, it is located between Santa Monica and Los Angeles.

Li Du looked at the information of the manor. This manor was built 80 years ago and has a history of nearly a century. It covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters, which is 30 mu in equivalent!

There are two villas inside the manor, a small grape plantation, a small botanical garden, a small church, and some woods and grasslands.

Judging from the photos, this manor is well protected. The house is old-fashioned, but there is no damage, but it may have been unoccupied for a long time. The lawn inside is very messy, overgrown with weeds, and the small botanical garden has become a wild grass garden. It is estimated that There will be no shortage of wild animals.

There is no specific quotation in the information, only an auction announcement: This estate will be auctioned on July 20 this year. If you are interested, please go to the Santa Monica Housing and Urban Development Bureau to sign up for the auction.

Li Du looked at the auction information and said, "This manor is going to be auctioned? It's like a storage auction, right?"

Lu Guan nodded and said: "Yes, this is an industry similar to warehouse auctions, called real estate bidding. The government and banks will launch some foreclosure houses after a period of time. This profit."

Li Du knows this industry. This industry is closely related to storage auctions. Some second-hand furniture and home appliances often appear in storage auctions. Practitioners who compete for real estate bids are one of their potential next homes.

Practitioners of storage auctions are called treasure pickers, while those who rob real estate bids are called tenant pickers. As the name suggests, they make a living by picking houses.

Compared with treasure hunters, renters are generally richer. After all, houses are large items. Auctioning a warehouse may only cost a few hundred dollars, and auctioning a house can cost at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, to be a house picker, you must have sufficient funds. After you get the house, you may not be able to sell it quickly, and the funds may be suppressed. If there is insufficient liquidity, it is very risky to engage in this industry.

Because they are richer, even though they are doing second-hand goods trading, the renters think highly of themselves. They look down on treasure pickers and like to laugh at treasure pickers as garbage pickers.

Li Du recalled the information about picking tenants, and then looked at another manor, which was also located in Santa Monica, obviously Luguan was very optimistic about this place.

Luguan has a good vision. Santa Monica is a good choice for them. This small town is very close to Los Angeles International Airport. Li Du has a lot of overseas business, and his main friends are also in other cities. He must often go to the airport.

In addition, compared to Los Angeles, Santa Monica is also quite prosperous. Although it is prosperous, it is not as noisy as the main city. It has one of the most beautiful beaches in California. There is a pier extending into the sea on the beach, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. , with convenient transportation, it is a holy place for living.

The area of ​​this manor is about 15,000 square meters, with a small farm, which is older, it has been a century old, and the house is damaged, but the lawn and trees are well trimmed, and it is obvious that people have always lived there.

From the location point of view, the second manor is slightly worse than the first manor. The first manor faces the sea and backs to the interstate highway. Both the scenery and the traffic are great.

But the price of the first manor has not been revealed. The second manor is 8.9 million US dollars, which is less than 600 US dollars per square meter, which seems cheap.

In fact, this is already very expensive, because the real value of the manor is the housing, location and environment. The house in this manor is at most 500 square meters, and it is damaged. After buying it, it will cost at least a million dollars to clean it up. Do the math, maybe tens of millions of dollars.

In the United States, such a price is a well-deserved luxury house. Even buying a villa in the Los Angeles area does not cost so much. Li Du saw it when he went to Beverly Hills yesterday. There are many houses in Beverly Hills, which is famous all over the United States. Only a few million dollars.

Of course, these are houses or villas, which are different from manors.

The quotation of tens of millions of dollars was very high, but it was not unacceptable to Li Du.

He pondered for a while and asked Sophie, "Which of these two houses do you think is better?"

Lu Guan thought he was asking the question, so he cheered up and said, "Boss, I suggest that we go to the real estate bidding auction. The first house is obviously better, and its main body is well protected, which is better than the second house." Much, it looks unkempt simply because its lawns and woods are neglected."

"In addition, I checked that the starting price of this house at the auction was only two million dollars. I studied the results of the Santa Monica real estate auction, and the price doubled is already the limit, that is to say, we have a great possibility Take it within 7.5 million!"

Li Du nodded and said: "You are right, Lu Guan, you did a good job this time."

Lu Guan smiled: "Then I'm going to sign up to participate in the real estate bidding auction?"

"Wait," Li Du looked at Sophie and said, "Which one do you think is better?"

After looking at the two manors, Sophie raised her head and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy such a big house?"

Li Du shrugged and said: "The family is big and the business is big, there is no way."

Sophie said: "The beach manor is better, and the officer has already listed the reasons."

Li Du said: "Okay, Luguan, go sign up, let's go back to the old business, and go to the auction for a while!"

There are more than ten days before the auction, and Li Du has time to deal with other matters, such as the golden treasure he brought back.

Dealing with these Indian gold treasures is not an easy task. He has to prove the origin of the gold, and then sell it at a high price and find suitable customers.
