So someone help me understand this: I can just go find a foreclosed home I like, go to the court and get a $20 dollar form to say I want it, and just go set up camp? This sounds too good to be true.

It is too good to be true. It will take him 10 years of adverse possession to own the house. I can't believe they did this story without talking to a real estate lawyer.

Typical media, have to sensationalize their stories....I mean 3 yrs to own a 300k house sounds better than a decade.

I don't think what he did was legal
but if there is disarray in the company that should be forcing him out of this home then he might wind up staying there for while
his statement that he "found" a key is just way of saying that he likely forced open the lock box on the front door and then changed the locks

Trust me, he's not going to get away with it...Someone owns that house, and if I came home and found a stranger in my house.........He would get a bullet in the skull real fast!

Not sure why the other thread was closed and I didn't get a chance to reply to a reply that quoted me. And the chance that he legally "found" a key? Yeah. Uh huh. I am quite interested to see how all of this turns out.

I was going to post in the other thread but I guess CD closed it.

anywho,

It looks like he may only stay there a few months, Bank of America, the note holder is proceeding with the foreclosure of the home now. Because of the national attention of this case, they will likely foreclose sooner than they have on other homes.
