Default A $330,000 home, for just $16 and some paperwork...

I'm not sure what you would think of this... But I just read this article...

It's about a man who, due to the details of a Texas law (called "adverse possession"), it appears is in the process of getting a $330,000 house - for just $16 and some paperwork...

Admittedly, he does have to "camp" there for 3 years... with no electricity or running water!

The house was in foreclosure for about a year, then the mortgage company went out of business too...

You can read the details here...

Best wishes,

Dien

That sounds like an invitation for us to cross the pond and move into a luxury home somewhere .... but how to identify the houses previously mortgaged by that company?? Hotsheet moment coming up, I think.
