The House I'm Renting May Be Foreclosed

OK, so a woman just came knocking on my door asking me if I was "John Doe" (who is my landlord.) I said no, he's my landlord, and I'm renting the place from him. She then tells me she's there to inspect the home and asks me if there's any damage to the house. I then ask her "who are you with?" She tells me she's from the "bank." I tell her that there's no damage. She asks me if there is gas run to the house, and I said yes, we have natural gas. She then said "Thank you, that will be all." I asked her which bank she was from, but she said "that's confidential, but Fannie Mae is the lead agency." It all seemed very strange.

I don't know, but it sounds to me like the house I'm renting is being foreclosed upon. I called my landlord and left him a message, but he has yet to call me back. We have a lease here until June. So if anybody here has experience with banks or real estate....Does it sound like our house is being foreclosed?

It's a lot easier to evict a nonpaying renter than it is to fully foreclose on someone. Don't get too high and mighty. Remember that you are the renter and unless you have some unique clause in your rental agreement regarding the bank checking on the property they're financing, an eviction and break of rental agreement can show on your credit report.

I wouldn't have responded to any of her questions until you could confirm who she actually was.

Fwiw, while it could be a foreclosure, those are the same questions they ask when doing a refinance, except that they usually want to come in a do a full inspection. But the rules could be different since its a rental house.

And Dimbee is right, as long as you are living there, and the house is in reasonable shape, you should continue paying your rent. Even if its a foreclosure, those usually take a while and you might be able to live there until your lease is up.

OK, my landlord just called back and said that he doesn't know who that lady could have been and the house is not being foreclosed. He's going to call Fannie Mae and ask them why they're sending people up to his house asking questions about it.

That makes me feel a little better. My landlord has been pretty forthright with me since I've lived here, so I have no reason to doubt him. But I'd still like to know what that visit was all about.

She saw you, she had the hots for you, and made up some story to talk to you. :)

What was really interesting is she wasn't dressed professionally at all. She was wearing jeans, tennis shoes, and a faded Dr. Pepper shirt. However, she knew the owner's name and address and had an official looking checklist in her hand. She never came inside and only asked if the house was damaged and if we had natural gas.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
