That deputy looks worn down. I don't care how much you try to block it, seeing people especially children being evicted must be heartbreaking. I couldn't do it.
@Monica Jones Just By Looking At Him He Did Not Want To Do It. It Was Hurting Him Inside By The Way He Was Looking At The Children I Felt Really Bad For Them. I Hope They Found Somewhere To Stay.
He does look worn out heck I would be too. I don't think there are too many people who can really push it to the back of their minds. I lost my house after 30 yrs of home ownership! I was in my first home for 12 yrs then I moved up to a better neighborhood for my children. We were in that home for 18 years until I lost it at Sheriff's sale due to me being very sick and unable to work. Two days after the Sheriff's sale I found out I was approved for Social Security Disability.. 2 stinking days.. smh.. 😪 I'm totally spent now I feel like I'm not a part of the world or a part of society, I don't know where I belong anymore? The sad part is my home is still empty as I look for a place to RENT and call home, I will actually be paying much more to rent a smaller and distressed apartment or townhome. How does that work? Seems really messed up to me and I've worked all my life had money saved, I had a few 401k's a 403b; now I have no savings no safety net shoot I have no where to fall from so there's not much need for a safety net is there? You could say I am very disillusioned I just don't want my kids to lose out on anything because I got sick.
When I first bought my house in 1994 I Was approved for $300K but my wife and I knew we could not afford that big of a mortgage. So we decided to go for the base model house which we knew we could afford. Then 8 years later I noticed that the value of my house had somehow tripled. I had taken a real estate course and knew that something was not right. We decided to sell before the Real Estate balloon bursts. We sold our home in August of 2006 and thank God we did.
Unfortunately Central America is not cheap. The cost of living is pretty much the same as the states. Unfortunately the job I have that actually came from CANADA used to pay between 40-50K a year and I am forced to do that job and other jobs for $17,000 a year and that is before I pay taxes and medical insurance.
I moved to Central America in 2009 because my daughter was little and I did not want the Liberal's brain washing her mind in very poor public schools in NJ. I am now looking to move to North Carolina and hopefully will once the Tax Reform bill is passed. I am praying for the bill to pass soon so that I can go back to the USA. Central America is just not a good place to live if you have children. Extortion is rampant and crime is just not stopped the police and government our extremely corrupt. I am so ready to go home.
4:30 "Everyone needs to take responsibility, I pay my mortgage where I live so everybody else has too" ...what this "vulture" investor lady doesn't realize is that an accident, a major illness, loss of job, divorce, a death in the family can wipe out a family's savings and leave them unable to pay the mortgage and bills. For most it's not lack of responsibility but unfortunate events, I hope vulture lady doesn't find out the hard way.
Veronica C. She bugs! I used to be an auctioneer out there and she makes up a good percentage of who’s buying up the properties it’s sickening. Greedy much
@@RainsWorldVegasSlots Yeah, those type of people usually get filthy rich cause they have no empathy and no qualms about making money off the backs and suffering of others. Our government and corporations are now being run by such people, that's why Americans are no longer able to reach the "dream".
I live in suburban LA. Oct. 3, 2014, I was laid off from the clinic. I went home that night, woke up next day and went out the front yard where a man was there. "Your rental property has been foreclosed upon, you have a month to vacate." After nearly 6 months on unen-joyment, I finally have my first interview Tuesday. Wish me luck!
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” - Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)
Nobody owns property, they rent it from the government. Even if you paid your mortgage, but cant pay taxes, the government will kick you out. So much for freedom when you can't own your own home.
Yet countries like Cuba, the government gives you a home. O_O The government only takes it back when no one lives in it for a certain amount of years and there is no claim. It happen to my moms' childhood home in Cuba. When she came to the US the house was abandoned. No one claimed that property or house for 20years and the government just took it to give it another family. Houses don't go empty for long in Cuba. Every available house is given to those who need one. Some sort of housing program. You just pay for maintenance, everything else is paid for by the government. I don't know if that system changed since 2001 (when I last visited the country), but that system of "Government gives you a house, not take it away" is nice.
@@LadyCoyKoi But look at all of the other issues they have. If Cuba was a good place to live, they wouldn't climb on rafts to risk their and their children's lives to come to America.
under the constitution income and sales/postal taxes negotiated by the people and individual state can be deemed constitutional...….4 core pillars of the constitution: land, liberty, freedom and happiness ...but property tax violates American property/land rights...……...any law deemed unconstitutional can be null and void.
What's disgusting is how they intentionally gave low income people mortgages banking on the owners to lose their homes and they could benefit from the owners losses. That just shows how evil money grabbers can be.
@keecefly lol......I have worked for AT&t for over 15 years. I was there when the first iphone launched. Believe me. People pay over a hundred bucks. Unless they are on a prepaid plan. Unlimited starter yes 65 but then add taxes and most Americans go on the Next plan paying an installment on top of their service. No they don't get cheap phones.
@keecefly I know there is but the vast majority of Americans are not responsible with managing money. Just wait until black friday and you will see the so called struggling out shopping. When stimulus checks came out first thing I saw going into Walmart for motor oil was those same struggling people walking out with TVs, game consoles, toys, etc.
Really even if pay off your home, you have a Deed, a Deed is not a Title, a deed is a contractional agreement between you and the state, county, ect. Really you pay for the House, you get the right to Manage it and pay yrly property taxes on it,, That's All you get the right to stay there, manage it and maintain it & pay taxes..
@@chrismorring3352 that's true you don't own a fucken thing ... the USA is a corporation corrupt government bankers regulations ..it's all by design to control. ..
I feel bad for the grandmotherbut it would have been less embarrassing and traumatizing if she was already moved out. She said she knew that they foreclosed on the house I think if I'm not mistaken. As far as I I know is that you have to be under supreme special circumstances to beat a foreclosure. Usually very low income people have zero chance of saving their home especially if they got no one to fight on their behalf I work close enough with them so I feel like that illegal foreclosurenotice would have been a heads-up that they are gunning for your house and stop at nothing to boot you out. Not to be insensitive but if you know you are way behind on your payments and you receive a foreclosure, the smart thing to do would be to at least start packing up some of your stuff in case things don't go your way. Start at least looking for affordable housing way ahead of schedule. And if you somehow by miracle from God, beat the foreclosure then you'll save yourself the horror of your grandkids & loved ones see you get put out. 😬
The US is such a loan-based soceity. I realized when my friends in the US said they bought a car, house etc...it meant something totally different. In my home country, you bought a house or a car means you paid full cash for it. This is why in the US, almost anyone can buy a house or car, when in reality they truly cannot afford it or sustain it.
Agreed. My mom 'bought' a 1k computer for my brother. On my grandma's credit card. Meanwhile I saved $600 from working to buy a laptop for school and personal use. At least I own my laptop outright. I can't imagine the kids that go to college every year on student loans they're gonna have to keep paying until they're 50. It's stupid and wasteful.
The worst thing that people can do in the US is, " the payday loans" or get to many credit cards, once you start borrowing or paying with plastic and you are not disciplined to pay your debts on time thats when you get in trouble.
whenever someone told me they bought something, the culture today is to ask whethere it is installment or cash. I think the good (or bad) side of being good at numbers, i could calculate in my mind sometimes how much i'll gonna pay installment vs cash, in the end i end up not buying, either the thing is expensive, or i sure heck not gonna pay that high interest that accumulates if i choose installment. Some people i know are fooled by ads showing low installment pay daily or monthly, sometimes i chimed in that interest is high despite low installment fee to give them another perspective, that low monthly/daily interest doesn't mean that stuff is cheap.
The home is yours if you don´t have a mortgage. Property taxes are mandatory and for the benefit of the State you live in. It´s the price you pay to live in the US.
Until you pay off the full 100% price of the building to your bank or agent from your own money, you cannot call the house your own home. It belongs to the bank where they are letting you stay. Get it straight.
cwmillern: you are right , it is just an illusion of ownership, and the people have to pay rent for the rest of their life to their masters either through mortgage or indirect through taxes , real slavery just with another name.
You need to see the most recent the Bundy ranch, as well as the making of the dodger stadium its property of the united state watch that house get bulldozed by the military U.S land not really yours. Worthless system yet many are blind a true ponzi scheme.
When I was really poor I had 3 priorities. The first was food on the table, the second was rent, and the third was anything else we could afford. When I see families now-a-day getting evicted from a house I see them loading a nice car with all kinds of stuff I could only have dreamed of having when I was in that situation. Draw your own conclusion as to what I'm saying.
In Dublin Ireland they have a grim saying :- " The rent eats first". Rent comes first in a cold climate where there is a lot of non-fatal but health compromising violence and practices when living on the street. People have been known to skip meals for weeks in order to make the rent because renters are only too quick to evict non paying or delaying tenants in our highly inflated rental market.
I would rather work 2-3 minimum wage jobs, before I would work as the person who has to evict families from there house. I would not be able to sleep at night.
There was a recent case in Ireland when a farmer was evicted from his house by a group of bailiffs from another jurisdiction because local people would not take on the job of carying out the eviction. Local people set the bailiffs vans on fire and torched the house rather than let the banks have it without pain. Similar incidents have happened with repossesed houses being vandalised before being resold after an eviction and potential buyers have been warned off from buying such properties. The banks got only a fraction of the money owed as a result.
NOW THEY WILL AUCTION OFF THE HOUSE FOR PEANUTS TO SOME ISRAELI INVESTER BUYING EVERYTHING UP WITH THE SAME MONEY WE GIVE ISRAEL 100 OF BILLIONS ,I SEE THE SCAM THEY PUT ON US AMERICANS
With almost 50 million immigrants and a population of over 350 million. We are nothing but a number. We are an endless resource that is used and taken advantage of for the betterment of the rich and the government. This country is good at killing people, locking people up and taking their money. Welcome to land of the free.
Fast Forward to July, 2019. I'm hoping that things have gotten better in the past seven years for Kenya and her children. In the meantime, I'll keep this family in my prayers.
The trouble with buying a house with a mortgage is: what happens to the mortgage if you lose your job???? When I was a boy, many Americans lived in small and shabby houses. But they were cheap, interest rates were low, and you had to put at least 20% down. So monthly mortgage payments were low. 1-2x a decade you were laid off for 6-18 months. The dole helped you pay the mortgage. Having to come up with a 20% downpayment proved that your act was together and that you could be trusted not to default on a mortgage. In the 1970s, savings & loans began giving a mortgage to anyone with a job. Around 2000, mortgage banks began giving a mortgage to anyone who applied for one. This was petty greed, because every mortgage application processed rang the cash register.
Right. Examples. 1. You can have a house bought and paid for...BUT you still have to pay property taxes..like forever 2. You can pay your car off...BUT you still have to pay for a tag and renew the license just to drive on the roads that YOU (The Taxpayer) paid for. Where's the logic in that?
I have enormous empathy for the family shown in the clip. From the little boys eating breakfast, unaware are the turmoil ahead to the woman's stare of disbelief, its got to be surreal and very frightening.
I owe my home.. but the property taxes are slowly going up.. in 3 years it's gone up by $10K. I'm in Texas, we have Californians coming with their millions and buying houses pennies on the dollar.. the Property Taxes in Central Texas were pretty low until recently.
Californians buying houses for 'pennies on the dollar' would LOWER your taxes, as available comps would be less.... local tax board should be looked into instead of blaming outsider investors.
Cynthia Hrdz-Fristo Texas has no income tax so property taxes are higher than they would otherwise be as that is where they get their revenue (some blue states do have income taxes but still have property taxes higher than TX). So TX is good if you earn a decent income. Why can the TX govt not lower tax rates so your tax doesn't rise so much? I mean if 3 years ago they could operate with $10k less from you, what are they now spending that money on?
This is actually very heartbreaking and scary to watch, I remember this time in the USA, it happened in small town USA too. I remember going to a garage sale and the woman told me, they where in foreclosure and needed to liquidate everything. I didn’t know her but I felt so bad for her situation. I thank God for my little house I bought and it’s not great but it’s my home and it wasn’t price inflated when I bought it in 2016. I live in Washington state, Bank of America is terrible for receiving a mortgage. This video shows another reason not to live in California.
Fortunately we arent a socialist country. Or you wouldnt likely have the property. Banks & GM provide employment to hundreds of thousands of people. And they can repay through taxes & profits. Individuals are less reliable to repay or change behavior that caused their problem in the first place...
I hate even saying this. When you take out a loan you don't get the money from the bank you generate the money into your economy. If you fail to pay the agreed amount you will loose your dream home. Modest living is the way to go. I used to have a house I could cycle a bicycle around in and I did! I am ashamed of this but it's true. Tonight is my first night out of long term homelessness. I am so much more happier. As long as you're fed and warm the biggest challenge is patience! You will be ok. The future is uncertain and the end is always near. But let it roll
@@marcoAKAjoe The banks were supposed to give out low interest loans to people in payment for the privledge of being bailed out. rewatch the video. They didn't. They just wanted to get back to the way they were before, Nothing changed.
As soon as your late with a payment, they just don't give a dam. They just want the money, no hearts. I wonder how these people sleep at night. I could never be in the mortgage business. Property taxes are even worse, no money, you're house is just gone.
When you sign the contract, you accept the terms and agreement. There is no difference when leasing or borrowing money from a bank to purchase a vehicle. Borrowing money is not a compassionate business.
So many people with no where to go makes me sad, i cry watching these thanking God for what i have even if it is a !978 trailer, its mine. thankyou Lord for giving me the a roof over my head. You never know when it can be taken from you one way or another.
i watched this video cause of my curiosity,, we Filipinos thought America's never undergo this devasting situation. Watching people homeless makes me realize that I am lucky where I leave now. In a remote area where we can raise pigs, chickens, turkey in our farm. We can get and fresh fruit coconut juice in our farm.I feel really sad of this😭😭😭
FilipinaMeets Australian 2019 it’s a lot worse now. The goverment has created the opioid epidemic. Making it hard to get pills you need people are turning to street drugs
Omg this seems so recent. I lost my job while pregnant in 2009. I thank God for BB&Ts willingness to grant me a modification that allowed me to stay in my home and go back to school, becoming a registered nurse without foreclosure.
I will forever be grateful my parents obtained a home sold by the owner herself for only $70,000 in a decent neighborhood. We didn't feel the effect of the 2008 real estate disaster. This is just awful. I can't even imagine what it must be like to evacuate my home within 20 minutes and find somewhere else to live.
@@bentrishaleemartin926 That's OK when you get old living out your childhood again with a corvette. How many kids live in your RV? Did you watch the video? What happens if something happens to you what is the wife going to do?
You're missing one aspect of this picture foreign non-citizens buying up land and houses in America. Americans can't buy land in China Americans can I buy land in Mexico. Why is that not unilateral. When Chinese lady said "we don't have to invade America we can buy America" and that's right and why is that we can't buy land in China we most likely can't buy land in Iran Iraq and many other countries where they come here and buy land. Number one any one of the countries we consider enemies that we're at war with should not buy it be able to buy land in America non-citizens should not be able to buy land in America. A lot of these predators are Chinese investors. Why can they buy land in America when we cannot buy land there call your congressman make initiatives and referendums in your County's that non-citizens cannot buy land and homes and property on American soil.
You are so right i want to cry it hurts so bad why if you know this you mean to tell me our government do not know it so sad how greedy this world is sad
This is one of the easiet way to attract foriegn investment and boost local economy, however there'll be consequences as well, please don't blame Chinese or anyone else, it's your own goverment make it happen. Chinese people are just hard working. By the way, even China allow you to buy land there you probably won't do, because the land price is actually much higher and won't investment sense.
same here and unfortunately for my son too...too much greed on housing and pay scales these past 35 years..and im 61...never owned my own home ..just rented due to poor credit all my life..And i was raised in a house
Susan Rubinstein I hate it but same here. I’ve been in an apt forever and I hate it! I feel like I can’t even craft or make money with my hands n get ahead. I need a yard LOL and area to be productive. I’m just waiting to die but don’t have anything that’s killing me LOL despondency perhaps
Living in America and not knowing the English language is inexcusable.... Then asking the people you owe money to, to translate a letter is purely and simply dumb!
I'd imagine you would feel the same if the tables were turned. Sure, she doesn't speak English in a country's majority of English speaking citizens. However, she did her due diligence and was in contact with the bank in attempts to save her home. Yet still, the the Bank sold her home (possibly illegally). Furthermore, according to the video, Bank of America even agreed they made "mistakes". After this fall-out, she took action and volunteered her own time to help improve this process and help others. Yet here you are, faulting her for not speaking English and being "dumb", while she has taken action and volunteered her own time to help others not be victim to the same. She's taken more action than most people would, doing a service to her community. Why must people find the smallest faults in individuals taken advantage of? I'd also like to point out, when you run a Nationwide multi-million dollar business, it is your duty to ensure you have the necessary resources available to meet your customer's needs. This includes the ability to communicate to your customer's. Again, it's your business you expanded over all 50 states and the world. Why would a business serve a customer knowing they are unable to effectively communicate to it's customer? The responsibility lies on the provider here (i.e. the bank). They took the customer in. It's their job to ensure they can service said customer. Yet these corporations lack the resources and support to serve other languages to save money. Thus, the blame here is on Bank of America. Not some woman, most likely not making much, doing everything right only to be lied to and screwed over by some multi-million dollar corporation.
Tyler Me calling her dumb does not detract from me believing the banks are money grabbing soulless parasites. I agree with everything you said about the banks. However, this woman lives and works in America and has not seen it fit or necessary to learn the language. This is idiotic and lazy on all levels. Aside from the fact that she is now helping others (which i agree is commendable) I highly doubt that someone who hasn't been bothered to learn the universal language has anything worthy to offer...
+Tyler the Banks mistakes could have been discovered had she been able to read those letters. The bank took advantage of her, and she didn't even know. She might have put a stop to their illegal acts if she had known it was coming. It's really very sad.
When I was looking for a house I wanted to buy a 35k house. Where I live you can buy a nice house for under 40k. Mortgage companies will not finance homes with mortgages under 60k. I do not want to be house poor. Instead I saved my pennies and bought my house for 25k cash. My property taxes are only 600 a year.
@@V.E.R.O. Depends on your skills. There are blue and white collar jobs here. More blue collar. If you are willing to drive an hour or two to work then there are a lot more jobs available.
I agree. When I bought my house (took a mortgage), people congratulated me on my new home. My response was "well, what I got is a mortgage, now I need to work to get the house from the bank"
The American dream of home ownership is just that a dream because its unobtainable for the average working man. How can you buy a home when you live paycheck to paycheck?
America is great! Anyone can own a business. It is so easy to own a home here that over 60% own their own home. America's standard of living is very high. You can tell a great country by how many people what to move there vs how many want to move out.
@@Scott-by9ks how many can afford to move out though? Want to move out & Do move out are 2 completely different things. Besides that, most people do not fair well to change. Also, most that want to move out are those that have enough money to travel the world and seen with their own eyes how people live in different countries. Majority of Americans think going to Hawaii is going to a different country.🤦♀️ Oh excuse me, just seen your statement properly. "Want to move there". Oh, that's all because of the movies & television lol. Or they have vacationed there and forget (or dont know) to vacation somewhere is not the same as living there. 😊
@@Skankhunt-mv4vd from experience I've met those that stupid and seen them with my own eyes! And tried my best to talk them out of it! Some listened some didnt.
so simple - buy a house when you have the money for this - save money, cut your living space - nobody need plenty of living space - never take a mortgage accept for a study loan - drive used cars, cut your shopping habbits - buy only what you really need
@Snappingturtle 267 a great percentage of the population cannot pay tuition out of pocket so cash is out the question. college should just be free or not as ridiculously expensive
I was horrified when President Obama bailed out the banks, and did very little to rein in their nasty practices after they had received all that Federal $$$$. I realized then that he was an eloquent speaker, good at mouthing pretty words and happy slogans, but with no real gumption. Kudos to that housing activist and former Cabrini Green resident, for trying to help. He is also a very smart guy, to see right through the political b.s.
And that is exactly what the Banks want. They want people to gamble with Mortgages, the Bankers know perfectly well that people will not be able to pay during the 30 years, Bankers know that people will have issues during the 30 year debt and that is how they make their profits. Sad but true.
@@richardsanchez9190 doesn't matter if you can't pay one, how do you think you can pay several?You also have problems paying other things like water, electricity, municipal taxes, food etc.
I work in a foreclosure law firm and I can tell you the major problem was not that people just defaulted or they failed to put down 20% but the ARM loans where they were paying about 5% for 10 years then the crisis happened and their rate skyrocketed to 10% adding nearly an extra $1000 a month. Then the property taxes went up and in places like Nassau County where the taxes are already 15K a year for a small 3 bedroom cape, it became unaffordable. Some ppl tried to modified their loans to get a lower rate but the problem was the banks made it mandatory for you have defaulted on your loan at least 4-5 months in order to apply for a loan modification. Yes we have ppl who just stopped paying but 80% of the homeowners were blindsided by the interest rate hike and the Property tax hike. Then hurricane sandy happened and some ppl took out second mortgages to fix the damage because alot of homeowners insurance didnt include flood insurance and those loans came from mostly private investors who jumped on the fact that bigger banks didnt want to give these loans out. Now these homes that were foreclosed on are brought by corporations or chinese property investors who then sell the previously 200K homes for 500K. What happens when nobody can afford homes and people just stop buying them.
My ex wife and I lost our home during the 2008 recession, but I can't blame big banks or our government. We were grossly irresponsible with our money. It took me 7 years of working o.t. and paying off all my debt, and I'm happy to say that I've bounced back and now own another home. As far as the bailout goes, I didn't like it at the time but I can see now how it was the quickest way to stop the bleeding. I'm wiser now with money and I still believe in our great country America.....I'm sure Al Jazeera tv will not like my comment.
The adults in that family should have been aware that they were going to be evicted, but they just left it. Lots of suffering for the kids could have been avoided. I bet that’s how they’ve always lived their lives and it invites chaos. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Same in UK ,the last terrace house in a drug area are expensive. Minimum wage is about £7 then u get taxed on it ,have to pay government tax everyweek to the local council ,if u don't pay they sell the house to get there taxes. You really have to have your act together To just keep afloat. I'm 61 and work 7 days aweek . I need £500 aweek just for rent ,taxes utilities and basic stuff.
We stayed in a flat that had a rental agreement where rent would only increase with inflation. Then the area became highly sought after and the landlord knew he'd get a fortune for the property. Within two months, we were out, we had no arrears and no complaints, it was just the economy. There were no affordable flats to rent in the area and we have kids, so now we're with the council. Thank God for public housing, otherwise this would have meant uprooting work, university and the children's schools. Homelessness is not always your fault, economic factors play a big role.
Joshua Collins, California is a place to visit. IMO Not a place to live unless you are rich or have an upper middle-class income. Housing is too expensive because there is no land space. I met a lady that came to my church in Oklahoma City she said her house was about a thousand square foot home in California which cost her around $400,000. I thought that was crazy. She said she came to Oklahoma and paid cash for a much bigger house and had lots of money left over. Oklahoma is a great place to buy a nice big home with a big yard really cheap. I think that's because we have a lot of land. The cost of living in Oklahoma is also very good.
@@teresawicks-kq3bq There is plenty of land in CA. The wonderful weather is what attracts the people to CA. Lots of Asians are coming and bringing cash and that makes the prices go up. Also, lots of Russians are moving to CA and they too come with money. In top of that, this is a sanctuary State, so our taxes are much higher. Too many illegals getting freebies. It´s almost impossible to live in Orange County or the Bay Area unless you have a six figure income, the rest are struggling.
I wouldn't wait until the last minute to move out. Move out way in advance and so spare your kids and yourself the great heartbreak of a forceful eviction.
+scriptorsilentum: Unfortunately that is often true. Thank "w" and his empty declaration that most Americans become home owners.

+Bochanable ohgod. please. no. didn't banks encourage pople to buy mortgages they likely couldn't afford but insisted on variable rate? finding a fixed rate deal each party could live with i'm told was REALLY difficult. i wonder if the banks - spare me, great zeus! - didn't actually "set up" deals to fail...? comments anyone?
This is heartbreaking and a moral travesty that the every day common man cannot live in an affordable home in what is supposedly the greatest land in the Country.
We have similar problems in England. The word that connects the two countries is , greed. A home should be, to give people a sense of security, raise a family and give working people a decent place to come home to. Financial institutions, speculators , estate and letting agents are the main culprits in the housing mess that is causing so much distress for so many. Until governments enact policies to protect people from the greed of others, this madness will continue !
Don't forget also in the UK the one-and-a-half million properties of all sizes, private or publicly owned , that are left unoccupied deliberately with no legal means to ensure their occupation.
Nothing is your's till you pay it off, everyone knows this. Cars bikes shoes.. it don't matter. Then you have the upkeep which ain't no joke either. How anyone expects anything to be free is beyond me. Imagine the medical bills that have never & will never be paid off.. credit ruined automatically! These are the facts of life. There is no way to change them no matter where you live. You want something - you pay for it. It's common sense, not common cents.
This happens to a lot of people everywhere. They dont have to give lots of notice to evict you. There are some people know they are behind but will spend the mortgage on $500 shoes.
Ive always wondered if the property was always paid off, but the landlord never reduced the rent basically faking that he had a mortgage to justify overpriced rents
I had one friend who made an agreement with the landlord that they pay the mortgage directly to the mortgage company and the reminder of the money they gave her in a check.
@Patriot Jefferson corporatism make life unaffordable, FTFY Get some accountability or get taxed, Thats how it works and thats how life works. Grow up.

My brother in law who happens to be disabled is being evicted from his apartment. He has always paid his rent on time and never missed a payment. But the man who recently bought his building wants to renovate it. So he's evicting him so he can renovate and rent it for a higher price. We are trying to get him into elderly assisted living.
owning a house is not a dream.. its just an illusion,you sleep in a bed or sleep in a couch, its still the same thing coz you sleep, you watch a film in a living room or watch a movie in your laptop or tab, its still the same. So dont get fooled on luxuries
I had a hernia operation and had to pay 60,000 because I owned my own home that the hospital used as leverage against me to pay. I had medical ins. at the time and was paying huge monthly payments. I was only making 25.000 a year at the time. My friend who rents in a mobile home park had a similar situation, but was let off from paying their bill because they are renting and had no leverage against them. If you own a home you better be healthy, otherwise rent and nobody can take your S**t. You get more gov. breaks and discounts by renting than owning.
@Ed Judd Yes and no. I bought my home for 80,000 when houses were at an all time low in 2000 and now it is worth 240,000. I could sell it and buy a new RV and hide somewhere and live off the remaining cash and travel the US and work side jobs.
I wish there was more info to the story. Was she unemployed, having no where to go? Or did she get behind on payments and think the bank was joking when they said she has to leave? I'd move my ass into a cheap apartment the second I got a forclosure notice.
+Christopher Digital Why do that when you get a free house for 6 months ? That is like someone giving 10 grand. These fat obese baby factories are not as stupid as they look.
But wait, they have all kinds of programs now to help the homeowner like forbearance, loan modification, repayment plan, and then if worse comes to worse they can do a short sale or a deed-in-lieu. they have plenty of time and they are given plenty of warning to apply for those options if they are being forced out like this it's because they were being stubborn and wouldn't listen and didn't apply for any of those programs or didn't do it right and got angry when they were told that more documents were needed for the application process. There's so much more help out there for homeowners than there are for renters to the point now where if somebody is being evicted like this it is their fault.
amella 1 THANK you for the most sensible comment here. That lack of awareness, lack of preparedness are the traits that got people in the mess in the first place. Back in the 1990s /2000s when some "banker" put a shiny, amazing deal of a mortgage under their noses and they signed them without so much as reading the details, they were being irresponsible and lazy. Sure the loan offers were scummy, but a CON requires the greed or willfull ignorance of the victim in order to happen.
Adjustable rate mortgages is the Trap when I was working in the mortgage business and I found out how it really goes and my brother told me people's lost is our gain. I couldn't even do the job anymore and went back to remodeling homes my conscience wouldn't let me take part in the evil mortgage business...
Arthur Ralston@wake up black people Nice to hear that some of us still have a heart. Thank you for your compassion. I thank you for all of us that also have heart. God bless you and yours.
Heartless bankers and judges. The Sheriff is totally a robot. What if we did the same in healthcare? What would happen to the sick people? Should we tell them, "Hey, since you don't have health insurance then you have 15 minutes to get out of your bed and out of the hospital." The Sheriff's INHUMANE.
Ninja 87 I hope for those babies sake that she was squirreling away at least some of those unpaid mtge payments so they could move into a little rental apartment.🙏
@@KM-nq7ez do you REALLY think when they find out she GOT THROWN OUT (background check, phone calls), she's going to be able to move ANYWHERE? Well, she should have thought of all that before having kids she obviously can't afford. Where is her husband, the kids' father, btw? Tired of it, myself.
So many people think they can just stop making payments to their lenders. Its always fascinating what the "victims" have to say as to why they think they don't have to pay. When applying for a loan, the lender makes it very clear to the borrower the payment plan. I pay my monthly bills, and never borrow what I cannot pay back or live above my means. It is very simple.
When applying for a loan, the person needs to ask questions such as "what if i loose my job?", so they know if there is or is not a deferment option, and if so, it's length, interest rates, et cetera. if theyre too "harsh", walk out the door, find a better lender, or simply dont apply for a loan.
Most important thing is that insane loans were offered to people had little to none understanding about loans and banking system on purpose. People like that were targeted by agents going door to door and explained it in twisted way to make it look simple and straight forward. Banks knew that these people won't be able to pay in long term and benefited from it.
Not to be heartless, but you'd have to leave. Someone is renting , they give 30 days or quit. With a mortgage that give you 6 mos.. with is a lot of time to make it up..If you don't pay your car note, light bill, etc.. they come for you.
"Do we bail out the banks, or bail out the people? We bailed out the banks, and now the people are paying the cost. If we had bailed out the people, there would be no foreclosure crisis, and the banks would've been ok" ... and I would add, we would still have a middle class in America today. So much for Obamanation's hope and change!
@ Kevin Diaz-Lane - I'm sure you understand that TARP was passed under the Bush administration, with full bi-partisan support. Don't you? BUSH bailed out the banks...one of the last legislative acts of his administration. The initial bank bail-out money was recouped by the federal Government within 4 years....though that was in part due to interest because some of the smaller banks did not completely repay (apparently) - this according to most fact-checking websites, like Politifact. The problems of the 2008 Recession were laid over decades with irresponsible legislation that essential;y allowed banks to go rogue. Repealing the Glass-Stingle Act which created barriers around financial institutions, disallowing banks from speculating, was a huge mistake, and again, it enjoyed bi-partisan support. It paved the way towards the sale of "derivatives" - packages of investments which included sub-prime debt. Let me agree that it STINKS what happened to many of the people who were lured into buying sub-prime mortgages, but of course banks need to be solvent to protect the larger society from a depression. How would you have felt if you had lost your bank deposits at the time? Also, if the mortgagors in foreclosure had been "bailed out" - what exactly would that look like? Would they be entitled to having their entire house loans paid off? If so, can you imagine how every American with a mortgage NOT in foreclosure would react? The rejection of such a program would be immense and swift! And if the solution should have been to give money to all those in foreclosure - say $5000 - $10000 each - how long would that have postponed the inevitable if they could no longer afford to repay their loan? Maybe it would have bought them 6 months, a year? Come on! I'm not a person who blames victims, because people were actually victimized here; but many of them also share in the responsibility for their victimization. Most of us know when we can support a debt; most of us do research first and are careful about taking on big debt. As sad as it was for them to lose their homes, I think it is not fair to also recognize their share in the responsibility: at best, they made ill-informed choices. NO DOUBT the banks were predatory and sold them a bill of goods, but many of them were foolish in their decisions. Complex matters deserve complex analysis; not sloganeering - like you're doing - because, I assume, you want tRump reelected and spreading falsities has become par for the course.
the little guy and gal is being played for a fool......your home is never going to be yours some day the property taxes will eclipse the price you paid for that house on a yearly basis ...... governments use your tax dollars to float corporate debt who they depend upon to reflect them......we are suckers.....
