Another Family Manages To Save Their Home!

Here is yet another story of a family who managed to save their home from foreclosure!

It seems that if you are subject to homeowner association fees, if you don't pay them then they can foreclose on your property. In this instance the family owned their home free and clear but the homeowner's association could foreclose on their property even though they owed less than $1000 on their homeowner's association fees! What makes this story even more sad is that the home, worth $300,000, was sold to a bidder for $3,500!

According to the article, "In Texas and about 30 other states, HOAs have the power to foreclose on your home if you fail to pay your home association dues, even if you own it free and clear". This has angered a lot of people and this particular story has brought it more into the light!

And then another fact included the fact that the husband was in the military. There is a federal law that protects those on active duty from certain legal and financial obligations, including foreclosure, without going to court.

But this story has a happy ending! The family was able to come to a settlement agreement with the homeowner's association.

Another Person Raises Enough Money To Save Their Home From Foreclosure!

Here is another inspiring story about a woman who was able to save her home from foreclosure. How did she do it? She sold baked goods!

While seeking help at an agency that helps people try to avoid foreclosure an idea came up as to how she could earn more money to help pay her mortgage.

It seems the woman loved to bake and so that is what she decided to do! She sold enough baked goods to be able to pay her mortgage payments and avoid foreclosure! What makes this story even more inspiring is the fact that a company decided to mass produce her baked goods and now she is selling hundreds of her own baked goods!

I think that this is just another great example of someone who did not want to lose their home and they decided to DO something about it! She took something that she loved to do and turned it into an income-producing thing producing enough income to help save her home from foreclosure!

Another Person FIGHTS For Their Home!

Unfortunately these current economic times are weighing people down! However there have been glimmers of hope from stories about people who are fighting to keep their homes!

I found another online article about just such a person!

He has an older home and has found that the cost of maintaining it has gone up! What's more (and unfortunately) the value of his house has gone to and it seems now that his home only worth half of what he paid for it! In addition one of his children has also become ill and that means that medical bills will further deplete any income that he is making. He said he is trying to find a second job but so far he can't find anyone who is hiring.

Determined to keep his home he has decided to go online with his own website and raise money to be able to help pay the mortgage on his home and keep his home out of foreclosure. According to the article he has so far raised $1000!

He is trying to remain positive and upbeat. He is also trying to keep his sense of humor. He is also determined to keep his home!
