. Trust me - as someone who helps manage rental properties it takes a good 3 or 4 weeks to evict someone in most states, and thats if you follow all the proper steps. and that only takes place after the first rent check is not received by the property owner... so in theory, they might have as much as 60 days to vacate.

Even with the worst case scenario of a home foreclosure you have 30 days in most cases to get out

see above explaination

i think that it IS feasible for many people... certainly not every single person - but for many people it IS.

i dont want you to open your mind on this one mookie... just crack the door a bit and realize that with a 3-4 week eviction process, or a 30 day foreclosure process it is at least a possibility




EDIT:

though i do understand that there are individuals who will sit around and feel sorry or themselves and look to the government for help as opposed to trying to do anything to fix their situation - i realize that there ARE certain people who are either incapable or unwilling to take care of themselves.
