"Back to Bene"
The trustee sales on these properties produced no bidders, and went 'back to the beneficiary'. The notice-of-trustee-sale amount is what's owed to the bank, and the published number. Normally you can only find out what the opening bid is if you call the trustee a day or two before the sale date. If we keep seeing the opening bids dropping substantially below the amount owed, you'll know that the banks are trying to liquidate right on the steps, rather than list on the open market later. When you see these come on the market, the list price should be around the opening bid, unless they get greedy:

Wasn't the Highland property the one where the house goes over the property line? Didn't the (previous) owner also buy the other lot so there would/shouldn't be an issue? Wyy don't they package them together?
