Why 'Extreme Makeover' Contest Winner Got Evicted From Dream Home 

Yes!!!

Can’t sell it if you got a mortgage on it

@@benthehousedog6342 sure you can, you pay off the lender from the proceeds.

TDO lmao this should have 6,000 likes.

Since she doesn’t own the house, she can’t sell it

Jan Melsen yes she can. She just has to pay off the mortgage once she sells it

Byron Lad That’s the point. She didn’t own it even after paying the mortgages for a few years.

There’s probably a stipulation for being on the show that you can’t sell the property for a established amount of time. Otherwise these shows would be full of Chinese real estate investors applying for free renovations to flip houses. Shows like Bar Rescue or Kitchen/hotel nightmares have contracts that the guests can’t sell the property or such for a determined amount of time to prevent the situation I stated above.

@@WigWoo1 I said no offense

Exactly.

I don't think the house was gifted, it's house makeover which means it was her home, but remodeled

FACTS

Hey man they just remodel the existing house. The mortgage and whatever was already her noose even before they went to work on the property. Hell, she could've sold the vastly improved house for a fuckton of cash, although I'm certain there must've been some sort of contract involved that prohibited the sale of said property.

She probably didn’t own it.

Lu Just thinking about the maintenance, parts, insurance etc on a Ferrari is a no-go for me. I'll sell it, get me a cheap Honda, and keep the rest!

Alex Rodriguez 9 yrs of bliss tho. If it was really a problem, she wouldve been evicted 2-3 yrs after the makeover.

Alex Rodriguez yup

Alex Rodriguez no the want there house now since it looks better than it did

There’s not such thing as a free lunch. Take that to heart

That's ridiculous. They fix your house for free! The problem with these people is that they can't afford their homes to begin with. No amount of fixing is going to change the mortgage payments. The smart thing to do is take this nice, remodeled house and sell it. People lose their homes because they have no brains.

Mommy is right

Awful. Evil. The government is truly evil.

I wish some people would just plan ahead.

The new owner will be the bank and then once they sell it it will be put on auction and the highest bidder will be the owner. Please be polite to everybody who surrounds you. ©® May 24, 2021 @ 11:50 pm ©®

@@SOCORROSILVA-in7px my heart goes out to someone given a gift and then cant hold on to it. I think most people would have sold that house asap knowing they may not be able to afford the taxes. Thanks for explaining what may happen to the house. Please be kind to the people around you.

As it should be. It’s unfair and cruel

That’s exactly what I thought as I read the title.

She was able to afford it for 9 years the fact that she didn’t sell it when her money was near gone is beyond me

i agree .

Um she called them she should had asked questions about everything

It is not! This lady had a $30k mortgage. Where can you buy a house for 30k? The problem is she can't afford her property taxes. My guess would be she didn't save for property taxes. The monthly mortgage isn't enough to escrow the taxes. If she lived in the house more than 1 year she should know this, therefore it's her fault for not saving the money. The show has nothing to do with her taxes. If anything her newly built house could have raised the taxes for her neighbors because of the higher appraisal.

@@YC-dx5vl she is struggling to make money with kids at home dummy

@@ashlynthequietkid348 ive owned 3 homes. a 30k mortgage is usually the minimum you can get if you barely make any money at all. you need about 3k in the bank and make about under a thousand a month to be approved for the minimum of 30k roughly. they factor in all this stuff when you buy a house, your taxes and etc per month. she most likely knew she wouldnt be able to afford the house and did it anyways. 3,200 sq ft is huge. most families live in 1200-1800 sq ft. 1800 is more then enough room for a family. my house is 1600 sq ft but im a collector so i have a guest room, bedroom, and then spare room is my collectables room. and i still have unused space after that

@@MelodicsRareMusicVid Imagine the utility bills for a home that big

@@shereent3121 its gotta be ridiculous. i put 2 doors on my living room because i have a giant kitchen. so i blocked the kitchen off in the winter and blocked the upstairs off. have a furance upstairs and keep it off since heat rises anyways. when i go to bed turn the downstairs off and sleep in the cold . then i'll just turn the upstairs on maybe once or twice to balance things out so it isnt to dry

Steve Michael that’s called being smart. This woman is not that

That’s why more recent car and house give aways come with the taxes payed and an additional large sum of money to pay for any other costs. That’s why HGTV houses come with $100,000

Didn’t the show usually pick families that were low income and have special needs due to health reasons. Usually the makeover was not just to make a nice new house but to help out with their disabilities. I’m guessing that is why she stayed.

For sure... This was poor management of finances and property.300 a month is not much to maintain.weird

I also had that question. Certainly it was worth more now that what was paid for it. Take the profit and buy a smaller house, hopefully it will allow you to pay it off in full.

I am local. She refused to work, took a 2nd mortgage to buy quads and use for living expenses. Church put on a fundraiser and bailed her out. Took another mortgage to live off still wouldn't work, expected the church to fundraise again they said no and she couldn't pay.

Thats exactly what I thought too.

Delores Lola ...two words...property taxes. Has nothing to do with mortgage payments.

1 mil?? Hellll nah that’s at least gonna run you 200-300K if you live in the south babe 😂😂😂

Delores Lola her payment went to property tax instead of loan and the 30k over 10 years compounded to an amount were the bank could sell. So the bank got the house for 30k

True

Brenda Ferguson that’s totally true. They weren’t much help to her by doing that.

And a lot of cities do it because they want the property.

@@CareBear208 I was think the same

Then they aren't too bright.

Yes!!!!!!!!

She didn't get the home, she already had it. Her home was remodeled. That redo probably increased its property value and, in turn, the property tax. Note, her mortgage was based on the assessed value of the house before the remodel. So she was paying far less than what the house was worth. No lending agency would try to help her underpay the house when they could foreclose and resell for a higher profit - that's just sound business.

It was her taxes that tripled due to all the home improvements. No one informs these families that yes, indeed their taxes will always increase, as their home is no longer the humble home they once owned. The video didn't explain why she didn't sell the home, or did she try and there were no buyer's?

She coulda sold the home, at least she would get something.

Holt Michigan robs you blind in always doubling property taxes and such. I moved out of Holt because of this and live in the next county over now.

If you double or triple the value of a home your double or triple the taxes you pay on such property.

John Doe why blame the mortgage company? They gave her the money on the promise of repayment. Crappy things happen to good people all the time. Instead of clinging to something she couldn’t pay for she should have sold it for a huge profit. It sad they waited as long as they did, but it’s not the mortgage company.

Clare Mfantse the show doesn't control property taxes, which is what she failed to pay and why she's losing the house...

The expenses for the home were the same after the makeover. The owner of the house didn't pay for the makeover.

@@patriciahall5395 Actually the homes value is appraised then the property tax is calculated using the new homes’ value. So the show put a house worth $800,000 there making her property tax go from $2,000 to $9,200 (rough estimates). She missed a few years I’m guessing of property tax (unless she opts to pay monthly, then she missed a few months) and they evicted her.

andddd the taxes is what killed her not the mortgage...

51Saffron WELL SAID! Totally agree smh 🤦‍♀️ so sad 😞

Increasing the homes value increases the property taxes you have to pay as well. If they didn't have the money to pay for their house increasing the value of that house is going to further exacerbate the situation. The money spent fixing up the house would be better spent fixing the house to reduce maintenance costs for a time. But that doesn't make good TV.

MBLR Studios It doesn't matter when you cannot afford to pay your mortgage. Renting this massive house out and finding a cheaper place was her best choice.

MBLR Studios It's better than buying a house only if you want to save.

MBLR Studios rent is not actually throwing your money away, yes it may increase your taxes (idk), but you get free and it is easier and faster to move out of a rental house.

Descaas Tribe Proud Exactly what I was thinking. The government is literally kicking her out of her home because they didn't get paid, a situation that would not have been the case had the house remained in the poor shape it was before. Government greed and overreach at its finest.

Descaas Tribe Proud the sad reality is none of us actually own our homes. maybe the stuff in it. but the home itself and the land it sits on is allways owned by (the queen) government. atleast atleast here in Canada. if something goes down like a war, or extreme terrorist attack and if they need your land for whatever reason your out. alot of people will say I don't know what I'm talking about. but I know things that aren't common knowledge. things they hide from the public. 1500 slaves had it better then us, because atleast they had nothing . we work to have everything, and in a flash it's down the toilet

Her taxes were probably wrapped into her mortgage. It's not uncommon.

Descaas Tribe Proud You realize most mortgages include the property tax. Therefore, if you don't pay your mortgage you do not pay the property tax.

She should have put in on the market to counter the property tax. It's sad tho

May have mortgaged it again after its value increased! But she said the taxes was the issue! I feel like we pay our whole lives and nothing is really ever ours!

They did quite a few times, but not all. I'm not sure it was even the mortgage. They build such grand houses that the property taxes go from a few hundred to a few thousand a year. People have an extremely hard time paying those.

wow really whats the point of not paying it off

They pay off some of them. Or setup a fund to payoff the mortgage. I know they setup a fund for this black couple. But, then the man took out a loan on the house to start a bus. That failed. He made ALOT of BAD decisions, that ultimately, caused them to loose the house.

@Valetta Steele As a homeowner you can’t be forbidden to sell your home, however there could be some sort of a penalty stipulation such as a contract stating that if the home is sold before a certain amount of time the amount of the makeover could be taken out of the proceeds. However, I don’t believe that is the case. They do not pay the balance of the mortgage on this show and a lot of what is done is donated.

True fact.

Yeah, we too almost lost our $300.000 house, over 3 last due mortgage bills that at that moment we couldn't afford at all (we both lost our jobs 3 months earlier, and not by own choice but by sudden bankruptcy of the companies we were working for). On the very last day - and I really do mean the very last day before eviction - the bank finally gave in - we went above and beyond to convince them - and they gave us a new small new loan with easier terms, that we were able to pay off without a problem. But if the bank had said no that last day an entire family - including an 85 year old woman - would have literally been put on the streets without any shown remorse. WE were one of the lucky ones, but millions of other people aren't that lucky and end up in the system without knowing what their future will look like.

Carolynska S yes she lives there for 9 years and she’s getting evicted. Once she got evicted the house will increase the value according to today’s market and currency

That’s not how property values work. No matter what she pays for the house, the value is always changing and keeping track with similar homes in the area. If she knew she couldn’t afford it, she should have sold it and taken the equity to buy a smaller, more manageable home.

Yes the financial company knew they can sell that house for much more. Besides it was a very expensive bold gesture to remodel, did u see the before pics? Those pics alone say she could not afford this elaborate remodeled house.

You wouldn't be wealthy for very long with that mentality. That lady was dumb and lazy.

i know that is true but I don't know WHY that's true. "Hey you fixed up your house, nice. We're gonna raise your taxes now"

@ I used to not understand that either. The WHY is because the improvements either raise the value of the property i.e. a swimming pool, OR adds square footage to the house, i.e a larger bedroom or second story. Anything done INSIDE the house that doesn't change or add to the outside structure like a kitchen renovation wont raise the property taxes. In some states even adding an outside awning can raise your property tax. Before you add to your house ALWAYS find out what your county conciders a structure or a structural change. This happened to my uncle. He bought a house without a pool. He added an in ground pool. His property tax went through the ROOF. But to be fair we live in California where they squeeze every dime they can outta you.

@@destineeherrera well that and she had several unexpected emergencies she said as well! Majority being health reasons! This just shows how much this country values MONEY over our HEALTH. Not to mention, over it's own people this country will choose money, everytime. They show it clearly when she asks the judge if health reasons would be worthy enough to counter the eviction.

Stephen Moreno 😩😩😂😂😂

Stephen Moreno LOL

😂😂😂😧😧😂😂😂

wooowww

If you read more recent posts there's a guy on here who said she didn't pay the house note for 6 years before the bank took it.

@@kerirobicheaux6629 so in order words, his comment makes sense lol lol

🤣

9 years?? it didnt triple the property tax in the 1st year you jerk. yeah lets just forget her husband gave his life to save others and not try to take care of his family.

@@bluebacon1607 what

Merlot M 3000 square feet isn't a mansion.

Water Bottle 3000 sqft is huge...It's way more than majority of people could ever need.

Lmaoo 3,000 sqft is no Mansion by any means at all. That's small. A mansion would be 11,000sqft+

Young Travels -I know, it's still not a mansion.

This country needs to have a revolution.

I completely agree. I know people who weren't foreclosed for 10 years, living mortgage/rent free all those years.This woman could have rented rooms or sold the house, bought a smaller house and save the rest of the money for emergencies, kids education, etc- there's a lot to this story not being told

As far as I know, I believe she was evicted because of Taxes. She was paying the mortgage but the new property tax was beyond her scope of affordability.

Not true, different jurisdictions have different laws. Different mortgage companies have different policies. Technically, you can foreclose being just 1 payment behind.

@@MosiJae in what state do they foreclose after one payment? it takes a while. there's a process and it takes time to even get a court date. Even renters. they can start eviction, but they must give a certain amount of 10 days - 2 weeks before the landlord papers can even be admitted in court.

Exactly 💯

God Emperor 350$ a month, even at loan shark rates.

I’m wondering if she borrowed on the equity in the house and couldn’t pay it back? Something’s not adding up with this story.

Ella Marie they said that the taxes went up, that’s why she fell behind. Once those taxes start rising, if you’re not ready for it, it’s easy to fall behind on payments.

Joy Holmes but a $30,000 mortgage over the course of 10-12 years?? Tripling taxes wouldn’t yield more than a $50 increase in monthly payment. You could work at McDonald’s two days a week for a month and still cough up enough to make that payment.

Her gofundme says a car accident put her behind on payments, says nothing about taxes being an issue. The house was foreclosed at 30k mortgage in 2017 and apparently she tried to buy the house back at 100k, turning to gofundme for help, but lost it again. I feel for her, but I think this is someone who relies heavily on luck and the kindness of others.

Rusty Beedle Pay attention and comprehend what this woman is saying.

@@sparx180 Yeah but she should've seen that the property taxes were rising. The smart move would've been to sell the house for a high price and then move to a smaller, fully paid-for property.

@@sparx180 Every year property tax goes up...she should let the" BIG HOUSE"go and get a smaller one she would have a better story to tell ....am sorry to see what happen to them hope their situation is much better.

That's what I told my ex. We split up because of money. He had the nerve to ask me for $100,000 loan after I had only been seeing him for 2 months. He told me he was trying to buy his house and I said well if he can't afford to live here anymore, you need to move. His excuse was that he had a whole bunch of stuff in his house from when he used to own a comic book store. Okay, so you put that stuff in storage and move. I think he was too egotistical to move out of that house. He just wanted to be able to say that he lived in this nice house with all of his material stuff. That was a huge turn off.

Ya'll live in a sad place if you can't afford something you already own.

If that’s the case then it has nothing to do with the show or her property taxes. It would be completely on her to take care of the responsibility.

Should have went to her local court and look up the lien holder. Call them and they will direct her to the servicer. It’s half a day’s work.

Ahh, thanks for giving us further info; I knew there had to be more to the story. Yes, she could have done what should have been a small amount of effort to get the address for the new mortgage company, duh. She seems to have been being an ostrich with her head in the sand in more ways than one. That said I do have compassions for her; I pray she learned from her mistakes and is physically, mentally, and emotionally in a better place today.

Lol saying you didn't know the address for the mortgage company so you didn't send it is like saying you didn't know the speed limit so you went over it. 😂

@@WOok2a She could have looked at the return address on the envelopes they sent her asking for payment.

Because, unfortunately, this woman doesn’t have much wisdom

She was waiting for another bailout you can tell when she talks

@Olga Williams She should have filed for chapter 13 problem solved.

Get Lost Sentimentality delayed her action. She was better off in a very small house.

@@sct4040 She could have found a house that was just as nice but smaller...

Yeah. I hope she finds a great apartment that is near her original mortgage. God Bless her, her children, and their father.

***** Amen

ItsMyDank747-400 747-8i is better😂😂😂😂

harry potter channel TRUE 😂😂😂

Apartments just as expensive as houses nowadays. I pay $1100 just for a 1 bedroom

I've got my answer. I always wondered what happened to the people who couldn't do the upkeep and everything on these houses. Some of those contestants I knew would have trouble doing. They didn' t consider the income these people had , opposed to the upgrade of the house. I thought house taxes, but I didn' t know they had to do a mortgage.😪

My coworker told me her classmate had won a few years ago and they were on the local news being evicted here in Georgia. Seems like the show was counter productive. Blessing and a curse.

Wow! Seems very predatory. They put a lien she can’t pay off easily and then go behind her and take it. So you can’t trust a “helping hand” from just anyone. They made money from airing that show but it seems the funding arrangement was never in her favor.

That show has had so many complaints filed against it and watchdog groups speak out against the shows policies and practices that I am surprised the show has remained so popular. I stopped watching when he redid the house for the family with all those foster care children. I just couldn't stomach watching another vulnerable family potentially going south. It just took the fun out of knowing so many have played Russian Roulette and lost.

@@alicemccallister16 it’s the property tax once a year have to pay a property tax and that property tax was probably ridiculous they had people with log cabins on properties almost going bankrupt if you buy land u have to pay the property tax every year

Tango two 4 People think they’re more fun.

Jonathan Cineus sort of

Tango two 4 SAME!!!

Tango two 4 because you click on them

Because RU-vid thinks its fun to recommend sad things to us!! Hmmmmm Wait thats RU-vid for ya

No one else had that problem. She could have sold if she couldn’t afford a 30k mortgage over 30 years but she didn’t. Sounds like bad money habits.

Jenny Sands That's a bit harsh everyone makes bad decisions sometimes. I do get your overall point though.

Jenny Sands Overall I agree with you. You seem like a person who really takes responsibility for their actions. I admire that! It's an attitude I need to adopt more.

Jenny Sands Thanks that's very kind.

Well, that de-escalated quickly.

$30k a month!????????

the $30K mortgage was her mortgage left on her old home before the makeover. She got the new house for free but the show doesn’t pay off your current mortgage. The lady fell behind on her monthly mortgage payments on her old loan and now she lose the new house .

@@TheCompton1963 In total. She was probably paying like 400 a month.

How could you loose your home for 30 thousand dollars? I would’ve worked 2 jobs to pay my bills. It just doesn’t make sense 😏

frankizl1 true

your point

I mean what is your point

ArkainKnight it's obvious

I don't understand please explain

That is just crazy. Some people don't appreciate the help they get or become "too comfortable" to the point they stretch it. I always help people and will continue to do so. I just no longer give out money. Instead when I have enough funds I try to create little care packages for the homeless around Summer & Winter time. If someone short of change I always step in to pick up the rest. I don't mind helping in those ways. It's just nowadays you have to be careful.

YouReallyMadHuh damn you sound like a depressed person!! I hope you don't commit suicide

Oh no im not depressed lol, I just had alot of bad things happen in my life but I am moving forward and making the best of life. I'm just trying to live that's all, but never suicide.

plague1313 yeah and after you get convicted for arsen you get a place to live...called jail

tractorman MIKE it's not arson when it's your house and call it a camp fire.

it's not your house. if you have a lien against it it's yours and the banks/lender. when the house gets foreclosed and "mysteriously" burns who do you think the fingers will be pointing at. I've seen it happen, it's a good way to make a bad situation worse

tractorman MIKE why so serious?

Tractorman Mike sounds serious because it is serious. THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT) Act 328 of 1931 750.73 Second degree arson. Sec. 73. (1) Except as provided in section 72, a person who willfully or maliciously burns, damages, or destroys by fire or explosive a dwelling, regardless of whether it is occupied, unoccupied, or vacant at the time of the fire or explosion, or its contents, is guilty of second degree arson. (2) Subsection (1) applies regardless of whether the person owns the dwelling or its contents. (3) Second degree arson is a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years or a fine of not more than $20,000.00 or 3 times the value of the property damaged or destroyed, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine.
