The son and DIL of my next-door neighbor in Asheville played that game for about five years, but I guess those are rookie numbers compared to these people.

My family is from a small town in deep south texas and there is 1 house in town left still owned by a family member. When they were cleaning it out a couple years ago they said they would put stuff out on the curb and it was gone within minutes. Every time. And mind you this is like a town of 4,000 people.

At one point they put a dresser on a towel to protect it from the grass and the MFs took the towel too

Guy in 04..06 time frame bought 6 rental houses made the first two mortgage payments then stopped. Took 5 years to foreclose on them all. But was collecting 2k a month rent on them for that time and had his primary mortgage paid off

If that had been me, the bank would have been on me before 60 days was up. I don’t have their kind of luck.

So, I could buy a home in Louisiana for say, $350,000 and pay $35,000 down, then not make payments for 7 years, collect $2500 a month in rents for a total of $210,000 less $35,000 in taxes and insurance, so walk away with a net of $140k?

What a deal!

That is just impressive.

16 years with no mortgage is a feat.

Not gonna lie, that’s pretty well done

Damn...if they had just put half their monthly payment into an S&P index fund until the foreclosure, they could have paid it off with coin to spare.

At that point couldn't they claim adverse possession if they paid the property taxes?

The bank probably force-placed insurance (added it to the mortgage payments) and they didn’t pay that either.

Can only imagine how fat my bank account would be if i didnt have a mortgage to pay for 16 years.


Yes, but I bet they didn’t save any of that money ?

Now that I think about this…if they HAD put the money aside, invested it responsibly since 2007, they may very well have enough to pay the mortgage off, even with interest and penalties included.

Interesting.

In Texas you I have heard and read that you cannot lose your primary home thru bankruptcy. Pretty amazing if true.
