Bought at $401,314 and sold at $304,000 six months later. Property looks good from outside. Can some one throw some light on what do you think happened here?

Then 73 days later sold it to end (true arms length transaction) user (end user that is) for 215,000 so it looks like it was sold for 250,000 then 73 days it looks like it was sold for 215,000 when in reality it was only REO'd for 250 and then sold for 35K less @215,000
