The homeowner can not afford the house and should have sold it long ago. She has neglected repairs on the house and failed to pay taxes on it. By failing to maintain the property, she also caused the value of the home to decline. She doesn't deserve to be a homeowner. She couldn't even afford to buy it under conventional lending terms and had to take out two mortgages. This woman should have never been able to buy the home. She was put in a home she could never afford, no matter how many payments she made. Funny she made house payments while she wasn't paying taxes for the last three years, otherwise, Molly would be talking about the foreclosure on this woman's home, and not a tax sale. Putting poor people into homes they can't afford doesn't do ANYBODY any favors. And Molly needs to get off her high horse. That self-righteous BS doesn't float with me.

She was kicked out and left with nothing. She had been offered 6 million for the property just a few years prior. Preying on the weak and helpless is big business.<br /><br /> January 17, 2020 at 10:31 AM:<br /><br />If what you say is true, then that woman you "know" is just stupid, not weak and helpless. The stupid people will always be taken advantage of. Why would anybody in their right mind take out a reverse mortgage on a property worth 6 million, after refusing a 6 million dollar offer? Every mortgage company requires the homeowner to maintain the taxes on the property, and reverse mortgages are no exception. It's all in the legal papers that are signed by the borrower. Again, if what you say is true, she defaulted on the loan when she didn't pay the taxes. She was being PAID by the mortgage company, and there was no reason not to use some of the money and keep the taxes paid. Yep, just stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-88376922492012485862020-01-19T10:30:37.744-05:002020-01-19T10:30:37.744-05:00January 18, 2020 at 2:54 PM:

Like the old saying goes, "A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." Owning a home and retiring without a plan to pay for it and the upkeep (including taxes), is foolish and irresponsible. She should have thought of that long ago. But somebody built her a house, and now she wants someone to pay her taxes for her so she can keep it. Too bad, it won't be me. She should have SOLD her home and lived off the proceeds in her retirement, for the rest of her days, instead of letting someone else have it because she she wouldn't (couldn't) pay the taxes. And just because someone was able to "purchase" her home for a pittance because she wouldn't pay her taxes, doesn't make her any less culpable for her situation. It is a self-inflicted wound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-77090095776098640142020-01-19T10:13:36.882-05:002020-01-19T10:13:36.882-05:00Anonymous Anonymous said...

Seniors should not have to pay a dime to public education anywhere.<br /> It needs to be a reduction in our taxes. If you only owe a couple hundred dollars, it's more than been wasted over the years in the education system and should be let go.<br /><br /> January 17, 2020 at 3:54 PM:<br /><br />Property taxes go to pay for far more than just the education system, although the BOE is often the reason property taxes constantly keep going up (those overpaid teachers, with the great benefits, a 9 month work year, and a great taxpayer funded pension, need, no demand, pay raises every year). And ALL the businesses that pay property taxes have no kids either. I'm sure YOU think YOU shouldn't have to pay property taxes, and will think of any reason you can for not having to pay them. No kids is no reason for exempting anyone from paying property taxes. And rightfully so.

Property owners evern get notice of the sale. Not only that, but the property owner has the right to recover the property from the tax sale buyer, and void the sale, by just paying their damn taxes and all late fees and costs associated with the sale. Nobody would pay their property taxes IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO, under threat of losing the property. 74, or 44, matters not. Property taxes have to be paid. It is a cost of ownership. Most mortgage lenders require that the mortgage payment includes property taxes. Did she stop paying the mortgage too? If so, the property was going to be foreclosed on anyway. No sympathy here. Age makes no difference. And I'm a senior that is saying this. If I find I can't pay the taxes on my paid off house anymore, I will sell it and downsize to something I can afford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
