Whats the deal with this nonsense. I have read alot in the last few weeks about people squatting in homes that have been left by previous owners and that do not have a mortgage company claiming ownership of the property either, and they are able to secure the house by paying the back property taxes and filing paperwork in the county it is in.

This was happening a lot in Florida as they have abandonment laws there, but all of those folks were kicked out to my knowledge. Just because they are squatting and attempting to take a house doesn't mean that they will be successful.

So is it better that they sit empty and rot. While bankers get bailout money (TAX PAYER) backed by the sheeple.

We have a corruption problem in this country that is beyond belief. And you all harp about a guy wanting a home. Which is a legal means of procurement.

Get over the jealousy and greed people. Direct the blame where it belongs.

We live in a Corrupt country. BANKERS RUIN THE WORLD.

Greed ruins the world and regular people are greedy too.

I have yet to see someone try and procure a home buy these means that was determined to be legal. Scammers are just bankers.

It isn't legal yet. It is in process. That's what I am saying. All these people that tried have failed so far. All he has done is kick started a legal process.

Oh please. Are you that person that takes someone's things that they forget at the health club rather than turn them into lost and found?

That's all fine and good, but they aren't going to be able to afford to keep it up, make repairs and buy insurance. Not to mention making the neighborhoods into sh*tholes and destroying property values for everyone.

They'll end up abandoning the property in a year or two anyway.
