Southern Oregon REO properties, Bank Owned properties, forclosure & Short Sale

July 14th, 2009 by Michael

listsI made mention of my River Properties list in another post. This post is discussing my latest project.

I am now publishing a list of REO (Real Estate Owned) also known as Bank owned properties. Yes, a quick search of the internets shows nearly everyone is doing so.

What makes my lists any different?

Rogue River Hwy from Hamilton Ln

If you have traveled Rogue River hwy out of Grants Pas headed toward the town of Rogue River you have notice there is quite a facelift occurring. What a difference this will make when completed. Sidewalks, bike lanes, center dividers, turn lanes and lots of shrubs, trees and lighting. This old part of town has looked a bit haggard but not much longer. I believe everyone will benefit from this project.

Grants Pass Grower’s Market and the Artisan & Crafters Market

June 8th, 2009 by Michael

GP Market InformationIt is early June and the Grants Pass Saturday Market is in full swing. We headed out early to pick up some fresh foods for the coming week. Large brown eggs (and I mean Large!)  from White Hair Ranch, then it is over to Berry Berry Good Produce for some lettuce and onions.  I’m getting a bit ahead of myself though…… First stop is always Maria’s Tamales for Pork and Spinach Tamales. Wouldn’t be Saturday without them.  After the tamale and stops at our favorite stands we move on through the rest of the stands to see what else we may want to add to our bounty.

May 6th, 2009 by Michael

Many dream about owning a water front home along one of Southern Oregon’s famous rivers. There are several things to consider before purchasing one. For example it is very important before you sign your name on the dotted line that you know the relations ship of the house to the flood plain.

“The Rogue River is Grants Pass’ best known scenic and recreational feature. But heavy rains can turn our normally peaceful river into a raging current that can – and will – reclaim nearby low lands as its own.”

City of Grants Pass: Floods are a part of our past, present and future.

Being informed about such things beforehand is one of the most important parts of the search for that special river property in southern Oregon. Read the rest of this entry »

savage-rapids-5-4 May 4th. 2009 AM.  I was driving by the Savage Rapid Dam This morning and noticed s0mething just didn’t look right.  This is what I saw. The Coffer dam built out of rock and sand has a spot where the turbulent water has cause some of it to slough away. It will be interesting to see what happens next. The Spring Chinook are just getting started on their migration up the Rogue River. I would hate to see them have to hold up the run again.
