For completeness, Redfin often displays two recor[/quote]

I haven’t looked at the trust-deed amounts here, but everything appears to be in order. After 20 days on the market in 2011, it went pending and closed 17 days after that for $400K (cash sale??)

I believe the amount required to cure the delinquent trust deed was so low because it was a second TD holder. We don’t know the amount of the first TD that this second TD holder had to take “subject to.” Perhaps they recovered all of their investment in this recent $400K sale and perhaps they didn’t. It was the smartest thing they could have done to recover whatever losses they could.
