4937 Hopespring Dr Goes into Foreclosure

[marspiter]

Sometimes,letting your home go into foreclosure doesn't really have anything to do with your assets or your worth. IOW, if your loan is 200k and your house is worth 100K sometimes it just makes more business sense to walk away .

Not sure if this has been talked about as I haven't read every post yet. If the Anthony's do a "short sale" they can still have a deficiency judgment against them for the difference owed.

 

[doogiesgirl]

I just had a terrible thought. What if this IS strategy on CA's part. She knows that DC could probably sink all of them, so why not separate from from GA (using the guise of losing the house/ or a real separation-take your pick) and then go cozy up to DC again to attempt to make sure he doesn't testify against you, your family, KC, or JB at trial.

Have I become to cynical? moo

Hmmm...I had just completed grueling treatment for Stage 4 (as bad as it gets) cancer and my husband had just gone thru quadruple heart bypass surgery with serious complications. We truly could not work. It took Bank of America 3 months to file foreclosure papers on us. In that last 4th month, I worked, not 1, but 2 jobs (my hair still hadn't grown back from the chemo) and my husband worked overtime and we got to keep our house. We did not go on cruises or wallow in self-pity. We worked our tail feathers off. I have no sympathy for these people at all.

Grrrr....

Will the Anthonys be "shopping" for a new attorney to handle the foreclosure? This isn't an area of the law that BC has much experience in, is it?

I doubt it as they would have to use actual "greenbacks" with another attorney.

I feel like an awful person to even think this way but the first thing that popped in my mind was... Did they do this (purposely) as a way to try and prove that they haven't made a lot of money off of Caylee's death? You know, gain some sympathy and hoping that some naive souls would "donate" some money their way?

Well, they threw away at least twenty thousand dollars somewhere... we know some went on a cruise but, cruises are not even that expensive right now. Especially a four day cruise.

Where is all the "unemployment" money going? Tax season is also here. Well, looks like someone needs to go back to work... IMO.

I am speculating here, but it is quite possible that instead of paying their mortgage they have been helping Casey by putting money in her Defense Fund. :twocents:

While I feel sad when anyone is about to lose or loses there home, There was no surprise.

I do not believe one iota that Anthony's were surprised that the Bank is Foreclosing on their home. The Mortgage bills have been coming in for 9 months without getting paid, the amount owing has increased each month they fail to pay AND they would have received a phone call and notices from the lender about their continued failure to make a payment and demand payment or additional action will be taken by the lender and a foreclosure will occur.

So sorry for you and hubby. You are a survivor and will continue to florish.

Where are they going to find a place to rent, cheaper than $785.00 a month..? Unless rents are cheap back there..here in CA..can't hardly start for $1000.00 for a decent place at least in my part of the woods..LOL

They should of taken that cruise money an applied it..But OH Wait they deserved that cruise..no sympathy here. they probably have money hidden somewhere to start anew when this whole thing blows over..

 

[Just Jayla]

9 months! Wow, BOA is lenient, it seems to me, that they even waited that long.
BTW, at $785 per month, the cost of living in Florida is sweeet! Wish I could find something bigger than a closet here, for that amount.
CA's wages can't have been bad, either, given the field she was in is a growing field in spite of economic downturn.
It is sad to see anyone go into foreclosure, especially after being there all that time, but they had to know it was coming.

 

[JBean]

Exactly, and how in the world could they have paid on the house since 1986 and not have it paid off yet? I cannot believe someone like Cindy knows nothing about paying down the principal. snipped for relevance.

The house was refinanced for 121,160k in May of 2005.

They usually have a reason to do the things they do - and this latest of them losing their home is no exception. It's not like George woked up one morning and said, "Cindy honey, I forgot to make the mortgage payments for he past 9 months!" They have an attorney and I firmly believe they have a plan and the first phase has been put into motion - getting more media attention! I work for a living to pay my bills, including my mortgage as you all do - I suggest they do the same instead of going on cruises...

Another thing crossed my mind too - do you think they are worried about bad credit. No because they already have bad credit so losing the home probably isn't bothering them. I'm sure it's not going to bother the neighbors either when they have to move. This is just another way of them getting out of paying a bill probably. I'm sure they have some cash stashed...

 

[believe09]

I use to have a friend that would blow her own money on *optional purchases* and then cry to mommy when the lights were going to be turned off and the rent wasn't paid.

She would say outright that mom wouldn't give her any money if the basics were covered, so she just made sure that was what mom was writing the checks for.

Most people do not follow this case closely. They are just grieving grandparents with a daughter facing execution. 785 x 10 plus attorney fees, probably barely breaks 10k. This will get paid for them, who knows maybe the note will be paid.

People sent Casey canteen money. If they are willing to pay for her poptarts I can't imagine how many more are willing to pay to keep these poor grief stricken, unemployed, disabled, tragic figures in their modest home.

You are right-I mean spot on. There will be an influx of checks from the general public to the Anthonys or to Caylee's fund.

They are grifters if this happens. JMO.

 

[shivs]

WoW! This is one of the stupidist things I've seen George & Cindy do yet.

They probably want out.. I could'nt stay there.

 

[Intermezzo]

Honestly if it was me and I had lost my precious granddaughter at the hands of my daughter I would be so distraught and devastated I would probably forget to pay my mortgage. I think in the privacy of their home their insides are rotting away. Their public persona is all just for show. IMO

I would agree that in a distraught and devastated state they could have easily missed or forgotten to make mortgage payments in 2008, say between July and Dec.
But they stopped making payments in June 2009, 1 year after Caylee was last seen and 6 months after her remains were found.

GOD BLESS YOU!!!! You are the salt of the earth, hard working, steadfast American taxpayers that I hope will be on the jury. We can expect the Anthony media deal to be divulged any day now...and this little stunt is just so they may claim they had no other option. I do fully expect a divorce well before the trial gets here in a year or two, with this ...maybe sooner rather than later. I believe it is the best chance for us getting justice for Caylee... for them to go their separate ways and George to tell the truth on the stand. Cindy, imo, never will.

The link is up now:

From Conway:

Many had speculated that the Anthonys were profiting off book and movie deals, but their attorney said this foreclosure proves that never occurred.

Oh really? See Cindy's Deposition part deux, Pgs 479-481.

She got a check for $10000, $3000 of which went to BC. She claims that after taxes it came to $5000. Istn't that 5-6 mortgage payments? She also talks about Lee moving home to contribute to the household and says that her disability payments are paying the bills.

http://www.wftv.com/pdf/21310288/detail.html

George also says in his Depo that he got a "few thousand" dollars from ABC.

IIRC Lee, when asked, was very vehement about the fact that he would never take any money from this situation.

 

[strawberry]

People say with an upside down mortgage sometimes it makes sense to just walk away. Doesn't foreclosure ruin your credit rating?

 

[notthatsmart]

They refused to work, they got a 20k payout for nothing for a tv show, if they chose to pay for Dominic's internet searches and nonsensical accusations that is their own stupidity, we don't know if they are depressed, and george already did the fake suicide thing...so... what's your point? Trying to make people feel pity over something that has not happened? For what reason? Nice try...but again, your agenda is clear and not consistent with what we know about the Anthonys.

Agenda? I was just pointing out my own opinion as others have. I am not trying to make people feel pity, that would be an impossible task obviously.
Whatever happened to attack the post as others have instead of attack the poster. I feel bad for these people. They did not commit this crime. That is my opinion and I have a right to it. Lets stick to attacking the post. That can be good debate, but lets try to be kind to each other.

Looks like the Anthony's have a property tax payment due today for: $1,253.94

ETA: Looks like I may be reading the information incorrectly.

 

[passionflower]

IIRC the family had financial problems before Caylee went missing.
Also no one works anymore........right?
They have been living off baby Caylee's pictures etc.
I personally do not feel sorry for the family at all.
