@ Anne S.

Things happen during their lifetime, a mortgage, a 2nd, a tax lien, they have kds, bails problem child out of jail (bailbond), someone gets sick, delinquent mortgage then default, someone dies, the surviving spouse dies, kid(s) want their inheritnce(house), bills left behind need to be paid, etc.This is how people live and how real estate is part of their lives.

Thanks Allan Landfried, Brandon Turner & Anne S..
