They cancelled it, and is delayed 2 weeks. So they are hoping to get out of dodge and they'll come back in 2 weeks if all is well.

Give it up, Bubba... I am so under water at this point even my reality check bounced, so broke I can't even afford a trip down memory lane.

I'm glad to hear you are in good health! I'm sorry you encountered some "speed bumps". I sincerely hope that things go your way (you have too good of an attitude for that not to happen)!

The tax bill looks legit although I'm not sure how you don't pay any proper ty taxes for close to 10 years. Don't they foreclose after a while?

In Texas, perhaps other states, you can claim the property tax deferral exemption at 65. When you sell you owe back taxes plus 8% interest IIRC. Not a bad deal IF your home appreciates in value or if you never sell.

Nope! Perhaps a proxy goes there first.

At least you can pay cash, a lot of places here take plastic only even then preferring your apple card system but yeah, I know you're tongue in cheek. :)

Looking at the dates and lateness you can infer it is a tax deadbeat, but knowing of the deferment option, it is a pretty good fiscal tool. I'd do that here if offered. I have no plans to move so the taxes would come out of my kid's inheritance when they sell this place.
Good for Swingman.

That's not a lot different than a reverse mortgage. I wouldn't do either, though.

Reverse mortgage seems to be a last resort for money deal. You can probably do better with a long term home equity loan and put the cash into an investment that will offset the interest.
What I find sad is the number of people at retirement age that still have big mortgages, often because they used home equity as a piggy bank. Getting the mortgage out of the way was #1 priority, #2 was to never pay credit card interest.
