Unrest


WLWT News 5, Ohio:
Hoskins said he's been in a struggle with RiverHills Bank over his Clermont County home for nearly a decade, a struggle that was coming to an end as the bank began foreclosure proceedings on his $350,000 home.

Hoskins said he'd gotten a $170,000 offer from someone to pay off the house, but the bank refused, saying they could get more from selling it in foreclosure. When I see I owe $160,000 on a home valued at $350,000, and someone decides they want to take it – no, I wasn't going to stand for that, so I took it down," Hoskins said.

    I saw this and was wondering if this could take off on a copy cat type trend. I guess, stay tuned!

  2. 350,000 three years ago maybe. Right now 170,000 is about right. Too bad the bank will still value it at 350K on their books though.

    It's certainly a good solution for his neighborhood.
