FYI, Lents purchased his home (we live 10 minutes away) in 1998 for 350K; subsequently mortgaged it for 750K and then 950K. He stopped making payments in 2002. He's still in the court systems fighting the foreclosure. I do not lump him into most of the people out there, myself included, who are truly struggling and want to stay in our homes, not for free as he is doing, but who are either current and struggling, or behind a few months and struggling. Not expecting a free ride, the ability to stay in a very expensive home without paying the mortgage. It's just plain and simple WRONG. Even IF the bank lost the original note. What about loan modification, short sale, SOME payment. Not to mention he has not paid real estate taxes. Not a hero in my book by any stretch.
