Mesa, Arizona home. They paid $114,000 for it in 1993. By 2006, the mortgage balance should be down to at least $100,000? They refinanced in 2006 at $234,000. That means they should have $134,000 for home remodeling? Let’s take a look.
Here’s how the house looks in 2012. They sold it as a short sale. Did they remodel the kitchen? Original cabinets. New lighting?
Carpet looks original. No remodeling done here.
New flooring in the dining room? No.
Remodeled bathroom? No.
How about this bathroom? No.
Junky bonus room.
Master bedroom.
Other bedroom.
Neglected bedroom.
If you’re asking the bank to forgive your loan, wouldn’t you want the house to look good? “Look, we took the $134,000 cash and didn’t spend it on the house, but we’ve made the house look really nice and clean so you can sell it at a better price.”

I’m guessing he got the house in the divorce, she took the good furniture. He bought a Harley and hasn’t looked back since!

HA!!! So busted!!
LOVE it when you post these!
I am tired of all these people, (some of them our friends?) who blame
the banks,
boohoo, they won’t work with us!!
At least one has paid cash for the new house,
more than one has bought another, then walked away from the last one.
arghhhh

It looks like these people are really poor. They should never have refinanced it. They couldn’t afford it to begin with.
