      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.

      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.

    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.

      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. 😬

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      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?

    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.

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!

    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.

      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.

      @ 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.

    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.

      My neighbor's husband died and she went into the hospital for 10 days. When she got out the apartment landlords gave her a 14 day eviction notice, She tried to tell then that she had filed for her husband;s pension, annuity, and other things and it would be here soon. They kicked her out in the middle of a winter storm. We brought most of her stuff and stuck it wherever we could in our apartment. They we helped her fill out the paperwork she needed and drove her places to take care of some things. When you have been ill and suffered a loss it is hard to get yourself together, She stayed 8 months. I finally asked her to pay 1/3 of the living expenses. She thought it was too much. We saved this lady. I found out that when she moved out she had $10,000 inthe bank and was getting $2,500 a month tax-free. She is much better off than we are. We helped her start a new life for herself. I hve to just let that be ok.

      That's just it: the US government is NOT taking care of its military veterans. That is why so many veterans have trauma and disorders and are homeless. It went wrong in 1913, when the Federal Reserve (which is not a government institution) came into existence. Woodrow Wilson himself is quoted as regretting his decision to sign the Reserve into existence, for it has since basically enslaved almost all people with un-payable debt.
