  What are the ethical ramifications of buying a foreclosed property?

  0 0 i see no problem in buying a foreclosure. many homeowners that have been foreclosed upon have been living in their house essentially rent free for multiple months (in some cases, up to a year) as they haven't made payments, and although they might be getting screwed by the banks, banks often try to meet homeowners at least part of the way, since the bank will usually be taking an even larger loss on the loan if it is foreclosed upon. also, although i don't believe this was the case for most homebuyers, some homebuyers did understand the risk of purchasing an expensive (for their means) home, and made the judgment that they'd be able to pay for their loan. just because some bought more than they could afford, you have no personal liability in that. it's likely that your taxes are already paying for their loan, after all. unfortunately, however, most people weren't in that boat. i recommend the book The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Tyagi for more information about lending practices by banks, and what you can do to help change the current situation. the one ramification that is very clear is that the house may be torn up before the current squatters leave. i agree with matt from denver in that you should find an experienced inspector before finalizing your loan. good luck and happy house hunting!

  0 0 Thanks for the great answer. I looked at the galaxy and I really like it. Also, doubletwist calms all my fears of horrible syncing with some rhapsody-esque program, so thank you for that! And thank you to everyone who answered my question, I have been debating about this for the past couple weeks or so, and still haven't completely made up my mind, but it helps to know there isn't one phone to rule them all that I'm just not seeing.

  0 0 I'm not against the stranger making money, but when there is no other option to buying it online (if you want a 3day prerelease ticket, online is the only option) and they are the only game in town selling the tickets, it makes it hard to understand why the cost doesn't just include the stranger's fees. the cost of a three-day ticket is apparently NOT $60, but $66. so why don't they just say that? I'm not against paying for the work, I'm against being nickel and dimed for fees that are unavoidable. Cook commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 if you don't already, you should reduce your trash pickup! my current two person household only has once a month trash pickup because we don't ever need more, for the same reasons you listed. Cook commented over 2 years ago
