Foreclosure bulldozer: Man demolishes house rather than losing it to the bank

If Terry Hoskins can’t have his home in Moscow, Ohio, then no one can.

Hoskins claims that he used a bulldozer to raze his house after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) placed liens on his carpet store. He apparently used his home as collateral, according to The Washington Post.

So when the IRS came to collect on its insurance policy, Hoskins did what any normal red-blooded American male would do (sarcasm) and knocked it down with his oversized tractor.

The report indicates that he still owes $160,000 on his home loan.

But chances are once the lender, RiverHills Bank, requests a Brokers Price Opinion (BPO) to estimate the current value of the home, the number will be considerably lower.

And it’s probably too late to ask for a loan modification.

The Hollywood Hills home of former “Beverly Hills, 90210″ star, Brian Austin Green, has fallen into “strategic” foreclosure.

TMZ.com reports that the man also known as David Silver has failed to make recent mortgage payments on his 3,374 sq. ft. four-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 7387 Woodrow Wilson Dr.

To check out the preforeclosure listing on Foreclosure.com click here. For more pics click here.

Green, who has had the “charming” English Tudor-style home on the market for around $2.3 million for most of 2009, has apparently coordinated a short sale while not paying his mortgage.

Mr. Megan Fox, as he’s often referred to these days because of his super successful girlfriend, is reportedly behind $71,000 on a $2 million loan from SunTrust Mortgage Inc., which isn’t likely all that much to afford for the couple.

Nonetheless, he’s on the hook for the balance and/or the successful sale of the home. The good news is that there is currently no auction date set.

Plaxico Burress house in Florida could be lost to foreclosure

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress could be headed back to the courtroom, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

Only this time it will be because of a foreclosure and not illegal weapons charges.

Burress — who is currently serving a two-year prison sentence for accidentally shooting himself in the thigh while reveling at the Latin Quarter nightclub in New York, N.Y. — is apparently behind on a $2.9 million mortgage for a 6,872-square-foot waterfront home that he owns in Lighthouse Point, Florida.

The report indicates that he purchased the home in 2005 for $4 million and then relocated to New Jersey two years later when the New York Giants signed him to a six-year, $25 million free agent contract.

In 2007, the former first round draft pick out of Michigan State University caught the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLII.

But his celebration was cut short — just a few months later when he was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment. He agreed to a plea deal, which will ensure he is released in early 2011.

His wife, Tiffany, and their son continue to live at the New Jersey home, which is located in Totowa.

Casey Anthony parents face foreclosure on family house in Orlando
George and Cindy Anthony — the parents of accused child murderer Casey Anthony — have a past due balance of about $121,000 on their home loan, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

George and Cindy Anthony — the parents of accused child murderer Casey Anthony — have a past due balance of about $121,000 on their home loan, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

The Anthony’s, in fact, have reportedly not paid their Bank of America-issued mortgage since June 2009. However, the family attorney reveals that the lender has not yet contacted them about any pending foreclosure on the home, which is located at 4937 Hopespring Drive in the Chickasaw Oaks section of Orlando, Florida.

Their grand daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, was last seen alive near the home in June 2008. And, according to the report, her body was later discovered in a nearby wooded area about six months later.

Casey, the child’s mother and the daughter of George and Cindy, has since been charged with first-degree murder and “is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.”

Meanwhile, her parents will likely do whatever needs to be done to save their family home, which they purchased for $90,900 in 1989 (and later refinanced), from falling deeper into foreclosure.

Leonard Padilla — the California bounty hunter who helped Casey secure bail in 2008 — has offered his assistance; however, the couple is apparently not interested.

Have you ever seen the rain?

A classic song penned by John Fogerty comes to mind as I share with you my experience at ActiveRain’s “RainCamp” in Dallas, Texas, earlier this week.

Alongside more than 300 attendees, I learned the ins-and-outs of social media and marketing on the Web. This conference did not disappoint.

I was excited to learn from many of the top experts when it comes to marketing real estate. This day-long session focused on creating content, as well as how to gain higher visibility among the search engines.

We were provided with more than 75 different resources to research and explore. From CRMs to photo resources, agents in attendance — from across Texas and beyond — were able to take home the things learned and start applying them immediately to increase their listing and selling opportunities.

The agents in the room were definitely leading the pack because they understood that most house hunters are going to do their own research first before they reach out to an agent. So it’s important for agents to have a presence in the community both online and on the ground.

Since I’m a big believer of walking what I talk, I would highly recommend agents who want to learn how to grow their Web presence get educated and then go to work using the concepts they learned.

And then you will likely see the “rain” (in dollars) pouring in!
