Think Twice Before Moving in to Foreclosure Property!

portland — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:11:01 +0000

What if your professional Portland mover here were to advise you to NOT pay your mortgage? The advice may sound like pure madness, and while you wouldn’t likely take real estate advice from a moving company, there are literally millions of cases where skipping out on your mortgage payment may actually be sensible advice. A recent court-ruling in Massachusetts established that the bulk of foreclosed-upon properties repossessed by banks within the last five years were taken fraudulently as the banks do not own the promissory notes necessary to show property ownership. If you’ve recently moved to a foreclosure property, continuing to pay your mortgage may not only be unnecessary, you could quite possibly be participating in fraud by paying it!

And as for green energy, The Oregon Wave Energy Trust is devoted to make Oregon number one in the country for clean energy. Over one third of young adults in Portland have college degrees, and more and more young professionals are moving to Portland each day! It certainly isn’t hard to see why!
