    Default Next door neighbor's house burns...

    Kind of touch and go for a while, their house is only about 20-30 feet from ours...

    I was never in any actual danger, but we did get the Bug Out stuff ready to go, in case they told us to get out....

    Thanks for the concern!

    Smart move with the Bug out bag/Gear

    as a former firefighter I can tell you, Fire is a fickle beast.
    In the time it takes to say "Aw shit, it's shifted." Fire can take your house.

    let us know if you guys need anything

    Definitely will do. What freaked me out was just how fast it went from a small fire to fully involved. What's seriously jacked up is that when I was talking to the guy from the Red Cross, he mentioned that out of the last 80 or so incidents that he had been to, only my neighbors had homeowner's insurance...How the f*ck do you have a mortgage without homeowner's insurance?

    Didn't think you could have a mortgage without insurance. Hmmmm.....

    Glad the fire didn't get yours too.

    you stop paying your mortgage.
    which covers both mortgage and homeowners insurance.
    I can name 5 people I know off the top of my head who haven't paid in a few years.
    no chance of being foreclosed on either.

    You want to talk about why the recovery is a fake, there's a big reason.
    1. the banks don't have to recognize their losses
    2. it's a lot easier to buy shit when you aren't wasting $1500 bucks plus on a mortgage payment/rent.

    I'm with you Brian.
    I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop on this "recovery."

    You cannot have mortgage and no insurance. When you are in foreclosure and haven't paid your mortgage, the bank automatically 'force placed insurance' for upto the lien value. Since you haven't been paying your mortgage, you won't notice this as the bank simply add the cost to the lien - just like your missing payments.

    Glad everyone ok!
