Be sure to blur any facial or identifying information on your squatters if it's something you plan on sharing.  Last thing you want is a defamation suit.

If the film crew was from a local news channel would it still be cause for a defamation suit?

@Will Barnard Please update? When is sheriff eviction? What steps are we taking to make sure this guy stays homeless? Consider posting in the paper warning others of him. Lord help the landlord that gets this cockroach when he leaves your house.

I CANNOT believe this is still ongoing. What kind of country do we live in when a man has to jump thru hoops for five years to gain what is rightfully his in the first place. I am also saddened by the fact that although not as bad, there have been quite a few stories like this in recent years involving squatters entering during a family vacation and obtaining some insignificant form of occupancy (water bill) that turns a petty B&E criminal charge into a long drawn out Civil case with the rightful owners always getting the short end of the stick, living in hotels while they try to legally evict criminals trashing their home and selling belongings. I wish I lived back in the good ol' days when if these things happened, the low lifes could be found being carried by six, rather than tried by 12.

Disclosure: I have read the thread many times over and understand the circumstance of this case and my example are Completely different. My story being similar is simply to highlight another reference to the flawed & terribly slow court system, and total lack of common sense being displayed in the entire judicial process. 

@Will Barnard As always, Your calm manner and patients is something to be admired, studied and duplicated. It sounds like you're nearing the final chapters of your soon to be best selling book, If you start a gofundme I would gladly contribute!!

 This post and @Will Barnard's terrible situation is the epitome of what Phillip K Howard discusses in his book The Death Of Common Sense.

@Richard Dunlop I will say, in private messages between Richard and I he has proved that he purchased the house above for 16,000. What I believe is in question though Richard is not the purchase price but your appraisal price. Although Zillow estimate is 282,826 there is no house around, that has sold for even half that. In addition there are houses within blocks that have sold, and are selling for 1,000 dollars. Although I see no Immediate benefit for you right now. I do see TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL upside in your purchase if the market rebounds the way it should and wish you the best of luck!! I will keep in touch and look forward to what is ahead. 

@Joe Villeneuve Im done hijacking this forum. If you wish to continue our discussion I would love to in private.

I see he has his strategy in his signature

Business Plan: Start, Fail, Learn, Succeed, Repeat...

I can guess by his attitude what step he is on.... maybe the step he lists as second "Fail"

 Joe Ive read a half a dozen times your little guru pitchfest quote "if they can't do it, they don't think anyone can"  What i havent seen from you or Richard is anything even remotely close to proof that either of you have done the things you're claiming to do? I along with many others here have simply asked you to bring some validity your fish stories. 

^ @Richard Dunlop You can't figure out how to post a picture with a caption but have figured out how to make a 16k investment into a 250k investment?!?!?        Indeed . . . ENOUGH SAID. And yes I would love for you to prove 801 house purchase as well as your 200k+ primary. 

@Gina Dovel I just ran some numbers and id say you should take @Richard Dunlop 's strategy and implement it TODAY!! If you utilized his strategy and snowballed the income reinvesting everything for the first 5 years I estimate you would have a passive income of 170,000 a month, or just over 2 million a year with free and clear real estate portfolio in the 100s of millions!!!! AND IT GETS BETTER!! Those estimations are based on the projection you would be ONLY HALF AS SUCCESSFUL as your co-detroi investor Mr @Richard Dunlop 

Ps: The best way to get the crackheads of detroit out of the vacant houses next to your 16k investment properties is to go in at night with a strobe light and taser, clear the house... then burn it to the ground. Bank that owns it can claim insurance, cops don't have to respond to ANOTHER trespassing call, and your tenants paying 20k a month for your 16k house are happy and can put an inground swimming pool in their newly acquired lot. It's a win win for everyone. . .
