Remember, you have rights granted by the Bill of Rights (4th & 14th amendments) and sometimes you have to exercise those rights.Amendment IVThe right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violatedAmendment XIVSection 1.No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

I am not sure if this is the same everywhere, but where I am located one of the first steps the bank has to do is file a seizure document with the local court house.I can search all of the seizure documents, so I find the people who have just started going though the "pre" pre foreclosure process.

The government doesn't need to outright lay claim to properties; there are enough laws in place that they can make the general population think they own property when in reality they don't.In our current system of ownership rights, the government can:Seize private property whenever it wantsDictate how and what is built on each property (property owners need to ask for permission to improve their own property, and they have to PAY to ask for permission)Demand taxes based on a property value determined by the government and a mill rate determined by the government (under threat of seizure of said property if left unpaid)Demand fines if the property owner doesn't follow their guidelinesDemand rental and inspection feesAnd now, they can keep you from removing a renter who has broken an agreement with youAll the while, since we are led to believe we own the property, we spend our time and money in maintenance and repairs, maintain our own insurance, keep our properties looking pretty, etc.Property owners are basically tenants and we pay the government rent (property tax) every year.
