I have a feeling they are foreclosures though and not reverse mortgage situations because I believe when you contract a reverse mortgage you actually sell the property to the company providing such so there would be no question of ownership or how it can be disposed of. They in turn would want to sell asap to limit their exposure on the property and the carrying costs involved.

You guys needed to drive down Schwartz Blvd and see how many are down there as well. Also, drive up around Orange Blossom in Silver Lake. It's a mess. There is actually a house on my street that hasn't been lived in for 3 years. The inside is so full of mold and old dog urine, in order to enter, you have to wear a mask. The odor is noticeable from the front of the house. Health Dept has been called, Deed Compliance and even the Lady lake Police. Nothing has been done...and probably won't be. In the meantime, how easy will it be to sell my well maintained house when 8 doors down is this house?
