<\/a>It could use a good scrubbing- but this place is way cooler than the pictures suggest.<\/p><\/div>\n
It must be loft week. Hot on the heels of Unit #501 at Cliff Street<\/a> coming on the market (multiple offers this weekend, I’m curious to see how much it goes for) this awesome 1 bedroom loft at The Bridge<\/a> just came on the market for only $118,900. This is government owned so it will probably need a good scrubbing and some foofing up- but use your imagination- it’s awesome.<\/p>\n This building does not normally qualify for traditional financing (if you don’t know what I’m talking when I talk about condo financing check out my video here<\/a>) but in this case the owner is Fannie Mae. The cool thing about Fannie Mae is that when they sell their foreclosed units they provide financing for them with only a 3% down payment. Which brings us to the pros and cons:<\/p>\n Gas stove, cool island.<\/p><\/div>\n If you qualify for Fannie Mae Homepath Financing you can buy this bad boy for only $3,540 down<\/li>\n This is a really big private deck.<\/p><\/div>\n Even though YOU can finance it no one else can, so between when you buy it and when you sell it you better participate in the HOA<\/strong> and work to help the building become eligible for financing so prices can go up (if you’re still confused about this financing talk- seriously, watch my video<\/a>)<\/li>\n This unit is a big open space with a huge wall of windows overlooking your private deck, a nice big kitchen with a gas stove, and room for a full size set washer and dryer. \u00a0Also, it’s in the St Helens Neighborhoods, which is one of my favorite places to live. This unit is half a block from Opera Alley, home of the Downtown Tacoma Block Party<\/a>, Tacoma’s Gay Pride Celebration<\/a>, The Grand Cinema<\/a>, and The Pantages.<\/a> In other words, right in the middle of awesometown.<\/p>\nPros<\/h3>\n
