Reviewed current public MLS-derived inventory in Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Waterford, Commerce Township, Rochester Hills, Lake Orion, Clarkston and Grand Blanc; also searched Realtor/Redfin/Zillow/Homes.com keyword results, Auction.com, Hubzu, Oakland County auction pages, and HUD Home Store. HUD/FHA REO was explicitly checked by ZIP/city and statewide: no exact Auburn Hills or Grand Blanc HUD inventory, but one eligible HUD home was found about 12.9 miles from the 48326 ZIP center at 3302 Newton Rd, Commerce Township (case 264-397437). Auction.com, Zillow, Redfin, Realtor and Oakland County pages blocked direct automated access; Hubzu exposed no usable listing data. Ten active candidates are included. Portal automated values in notes are screening signals only, not ARVs; all ARV and repair fields remain null pending comps, inspection, and contractor scope.

Searched current public Redfin MLS fixer-upper inventory around Auburn Hills/Pontiac/Waterford and Trulia/Zillow-network listings in Grand Blanc; also checked indexed Realtor fixer pages and attempted Zillow, Homes.com, Auction.com, and Hubzu queries. Realtor returned HTTP 429 and Zillow/Homes.com direct pages returned HTTP 403; no independently verifiable Auction.com or Hubzu candidate was added. HUD/FHA REO was checked directly by retrieving all 30 current Michigan HUD Home Store listings and filtering by distance: three were within 20 straight-line miles of 48326, two were open to investors/all bidders and are included, and one Macomb listing was owner-occupant/nonprofit/government-only and excluded. No HUD listing was in Grand Blanc. Nine candidates posted; ARV and repair fields are null because property-specific sold comps and contractor scopes were not verified.

Checked current public MLS-fed city and foreclosed-property pages for Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Waterford, Lake Orion, Clarkston, Troy, Rochester Hills, Rochester, Bloomfield Hills, Utica/Sterling Heights, and Grand Blanc; ranked active residential candidates using explicit distress/rehab language, price cuts, days on market, and low $/sqft. HUD/FHA REO inventory was explicitly queried on HUD Home Store for Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Waterford, Lake Orion, Clarkston, Troy, Rochester Hills, Grand Blanc and returned zero properties in each location. Direct Zillow and Homes.com requests were blocked (HTTP 403), Realtor returned HTTP 429, and browser automation was unavailable; public Movoto MLS detail pages and HUD endpoints remained accessible. Automated Movoto values are included only as screening indicators, not ARVs; no repair estimates were invented.

Searched active public inventory across Auburn Hills/48326, Pontiac, Waterford, Rochester/Rochester Hills, Lake Orion/Orion Township, Oxford, Clarkston/Independence Township, Commerce Township, nearby Oakland County, and Grand Blanc. Sources checked included current Redfin MLS-feed results, Movoto Grand Blanc inventory/detail pages, HUD Home Store/FHA REO statewide inventory and property details, plus web-index checks for Realtor, Zillow, Homes.com, Auction.com, Hubzu and county/foreclosure sources. HUD/FHA REO was explicitly checked: 3302 Newton Rd, Commerce Township is directly verified in HUD Home Store as active/extended, all bidders, IE/203K eligible; 151 W Sheffield Ave is active in the MLS feed and described as a HUD Home, but HUD's direct case lookup returned 'Case Number Not Found,' so availability/bid eligibility must be reconfirmed. Commercial portals were intermittently blocked or stale; only independently active candidates are included. Grand Blanc land-lease/manufactured-home outliers were excluded. No comp-backed ARV or inspection-backed repair estimate was available, so those fields are null.

Searched current MLS-backed residential inventory around ZIP 48326 (Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Waterford, Rochester Hills, Lake Orion, Troy/nearby Oakland County) plus Grand Blanc, and checked Hubzu/foreclosure inventory. HUD/FHA REO was explicitly checked on HUD Home Store for Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Waterford, Rochester Hills, Lake Orion, Troy, Clarkston, Bloomfield Hills, and Grand Blanc; each city returned zero available HUD listings. Best findings are nine active MLS-backed value/fixer leads plus one scheduled Aug. 25 Oakland County value-based foreclosure with no disclosed bid. Movoto automated values in notes are current-value models, not ARVs; no repair or ARV figures were invented. Limitations: Auction.com returned an Incapsula block; Zillow and Homes.com required bot verification/access was denied; Redfin rate-limited; Realtor pages rendered empty; county pages were blocked or unavailable. Accessible Movoto detail pages and Hubzu's public inventory/API were used for candidate verification.

Searched a current Redfin MLS-feed scan covering the 20-mile Auburn Hills radius (2,421 unique records fetched; 1,346 active residential records passed the radius/status screen), a dedicated Pontiac feed, Grand Blanc listing sources, Yahoo/Bing-indexed listing pages, VRM Properties, HUD Home Store/FHA REO, Hubzu, Auction.com, Realtor, Zillow, Homes.com, and Movoto. HUD/FHA REO was explicitly checked via HUD Home Store's live Michigan inventory (24 statewide properties): no exact Auburn Hills/48326 or exact Grand Blanc HUD listing was found, but 3302 Newton Rd in Commerce Township is an investor-eligible all-bidders FHA REO about 13.9 straight-line miles from 48326; 10537 Byron Rd is about 16.9 miles from Grand Blanc but was excluded because the current Exclusive period restricts bidders to owner-occupants, nonprofits, and government agencies. Realtor returned HTTP 429, Zillow and Homes.com returned HTTP 403, Redfin's page UI later rate-limited, Auction.com returned a blocked/challenge shell, and Hubzu loaded only its application shell; accessible live MLS, HUD, VRM, and search-index data were used instead. No repair figures are provided without inspection-based scopes; the sole ARV value is explicitly the midpoint of a seller-marketed range, not an independent appraisal.
