    I am so jealous, I am not a fan of squatting but since this isn't squatting the dude got a steal.

    The title of the video is a little suspect. I'm not sure the white neighbours are necessarily racist.

    And that right there is why you read your city and state's laws.

    This reminds me of my ex's mother, who lived in Caddo Parish, Louisiana.
    She became too ill (physically and mentally) to live alone anymore. She ended up in a nursing home (a horrible one, but that's another story).
    Unbeknownst to the family, taxes were not getting paid on her property.
    Some random guy figured out that there was a vacant property behind on taxes.
    He took it upon himself to pay up the taxes.
    Apparently, if you do that, you eventually become the owner of the house.

    Most states require the person claiming adverse possession require the person to live there for 7 years and pay all property taxes. Otherwise a lien will attach to the property, the government will take it and sell it. By by squatter.

    ^The guy above doesn't have any utilities on either. When he does turn them on, all water seals will fail among other things.

    Living in a screwed up house is still better than being homeless.

    That b---- needs to shut the f--- up and mind her own business, as a person who has studied law she has no legal Interest in the property. Just because she's stuck with a mortgage and this dude read between the lines. Good on your Sir and I am Jealous too:D

    For the squatter, yes. For the person or bank who has the title/deed to the property, and any municipality trying to collect taxes, not so much.

    He played by the system don't blame him for excising his rights blame the person who made the law to begin with

    If those other entities abandoned the property and he followed the law, I see nothing wrong.
