Blight moves in after foreclosures

[betting on fall]

I think the real danger is if enterprising crooks (or out of work contractors) go into these homes and steal copper pipes, sinks, faucets, wiring, etc. I am sure several thousands $$$ of stuff can be ripped out of a home and sold pretty easily. It then would be far more expensive to replace it, and I don’t see the banks being too excited to pay for it.

I could swear the standard advice from an attorney once the property enters possible foreclosure proceedings is to stop sending in rent checks? Haven’t there been threads to this regard around here? I might be mixing up two different situations.

I wouldn’t assume the person in that situation has it easy they will have to up and find another place most likely at some undetermined time.

“Those people that you watched make thousands on real estate; it is not their fault you are in the situation you are in. They made money, you did not, I did not, and others did not. Don’t blame others for opportunities missed.”

They didn’t make thousands of dollars they took out thousands of dollars of equity! I don’t blame them but we all fall into situations that either benefit us or do not. And it is time pay up for the ARM suckers and I have thousands in savings from avoiding an ARM to buy an over hype and priced home a few years ago.

I do appreciate your suggestion and agree that if a home is just sitting there and you drive by and see a foreclosure sign doesn’t mean move on in! However this will happen as the article has implied.

I have a legal contract and the home is not offical in foreclosure yet.

OC Scam it doesn’t matter to me how or why it is done. You want to classify it as a victimless crime then that is okay.

Look, I am not a big morality player type of person okay. I have plenty of missed opportunities in my life as well and watched many many people get plenty rich. It is what it is. It grates on me but I am not entitled to anything, period. Your original posting SCREAMED of entitlement and vindication; which is what prompted my response to you. Read your own post and tell me that if someone else reads it besides yourself, could they get the impression that I got?

Whether what you are doing hurts or does not hurt anyone or anything is not the question to me. It is not how any functional society could or should work. I think that you are by far the exception to the rule. I really do not believe many squatters take care of properties like you do and that there is much more indigent behavior that is associated with squatting then is not.

Fine if you are not exploiting someone then great; no I cannot find that exact person you are exploiting.

By your logic there is absolutely nothing wrong with ANYBODY finding foreclosed homes that are unoccupied and living in them. No victim right?

OC –

I was under the impression that the bank already owns the home.

Whether or not you choose to pay your rent is up to you. Does it say somewhere in your lease that the owner is obligated to pay the mortgage?

I am not an attorney by any means so if your lawyer believes that you have a case then so be it. Once the property is returned to the lender then I am sure that between your lawyer and the lenders lawyer it will all get figured out.

In no way does it change my views on squatting whatsoever. Nor does it matter to me if there is a victimless crime or not.
