It's starting to get real ugly in my neighborhood. One of the renters found out the owner stopped paying on the mortgage months ago (still cashed the rent checks, though) so he stopped sending the rent checks. They are going to move out in a week or two and let their Dad live there (squat) until someone comes by to kick him out. There is a sense from people in the 'hood that everbody "made out" except for themselves.

Apparently the fed will bail them out too like they do with all the other financially irresponsible people.
