Mabel Bobo, 88, Loses Home When Investor Buys It for $5,000 {AOL Real Estate}
Mar 28th 2013 6:58AM As some commenters have mentioned, the "facts' in this story do not add up. Aside from that both her family and the nursing home bear responsibility for the harrassment she suffered. As a 30+ year veteran of working in the elder care industry I can safely say that many, many facilities would never have let one of their residents be harassed like that. It is abuse and most states have laws about that. The woman who persistantly visited her could be prosecuted. It is unbelievable that no one, family or facility staff, ever witnessed or overheard this woman interacting with the elderly lady. Some one seriously, and possibly criminally, dropped the ball.
Homeowner Susie Salazar Loses Insurance Policy Over Pit Bull {AOL Real Estate}
Mar 23rd 2013 5:34PM Insurance companies have a list of about 10 dogs they either refuse to insure or have very strict guidelings. Our German Shepherd was allowed because, although 95 pounds, she had been trained by a professional and the back yard was surrounded by a fence at least 4 feet high and the gate was kept locked.

Squatter Andre Barbosa Lives in $2.5 Million House in Boca Raton for Free {AOL Real Estate}
Jan 25th 2013 12:40PM It seems to be a gated community. They must have an association and by-laws. If this situation isn't addressed directly in the by-laws the members should simply amend them to say that any one who doesn't own a property in the community can't live there without the express, written permission of the owner, which, in this case, would be Bank of America.

Ori Feibush, Philadelphia Real Estate Developer, in Hot Water After Refurbishing City's Vacant Lot {AOL Real Estate}
Sep 21st 2012 10:07AM Sell him the lot at the price the city wanted before the imporvements and give him a tax break on the property for 5 years. Many businesses get tax breaks so he should too when he opens his coffee shop next door. If the city takes him to court let's hope many, many people show up to support him.

Guide To Saving Money On Flight Bookings {Gadling}
Aug 25th 2012 9:49AM Some of this is baloney. If you live up north and want to go to Florida at Christmas you had better book as soon as the flights become available. Not only are the cheapest seats available immediately, as you wait, the progressively more expensive seats get sold. Wait long enough and no seats are available.
