Let’s say that you buy a home in cash and have 100% paid off. Could you still lose it somehow?

    I feel like you had additional context to this question that you meant to add, but just totally forgot.

    As it stands, yes of course. If your house in condemned or otherwise subject to eminent domain, if your house is seized to pay creditors for non-mortgage debt (in some states), if somebody else has superior title to your home and you aren’t protected by being a bonafide purchaser, etc.

      Natural disasters and other “acts of god” are becoming more relevant - especially as some states, like Florida, have more insurance companies pulling out. Flood insurance is often unaffordable too.

        Which really highlights how stupid and funny the “act of god” line is

        So has he just randomly decided recently that he wants to spend more time fucking up people’s houses or is it maybe that it wasn’t just collateral damage of some benevolent beings plans and maybe there’s a a more concrete basis for why these weather events occur.

    Setting aside all the legal reason people have outlined its important to rmeber this is America.

    If a rich enough person wants you dead they’ll shoot you in the head on the front porch of your home in broad daylight in front of your neighbors and then the cops will say no crime happened and the news will say that person always lived there.

    Rich people can and do act however they want without consequences and our entire judicial system is just set up as a smokescreen to point to to tell poor people that isn’t the case.

        Liberals stay dumb as fuck.

        Ask the BLM organizers who committed suicide by shooting themselves multiple times and then setting their car on fire how secure they feel.

        Or the person who published the Panama papers, whatever happened to that guy.
