HEARTLESS!!! KANYE WEST'S DECEASED MOTHER'S HOUSE GETS FORECLOSED!!!


 







July 31, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that Dr. Donda West's house was foreclosed upon yesterday. The foreclosing bank, Northern Bank & Trust, is claiming that Donda's estate owes them $606,983.43 in back payments and fees.

It's not clear whether the value of the home - and the remaining $150,000 in the estates accounts will be sufficient to satisfy the bank's claim. If not, MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Kanye may be responsible for any shortfall.

    Is this supposed to be suprising? Like Ms Thang said she don't need it no more. This happens to everyone when someone passes away. Just cause he Kanye doesn't mean he any different from you and me when it comes to this crap. Sucks, but you gotta deal with it.

    Why hasn't Kanye tried to sell the property, rent or just purchased it himself instead of letting it go into forclosure? SMDH.
     

    getreal01
    Kanye's mind is not on the house. the person that occupied the house has died. So what he has not paid on the house. When you lose someone close to you the pain is so deep that you forget about a lot of things. The minor things in life do not matter.

    Whether his mind is on the condo or not is irrelevant. When someone dies and you have co-signatures, you're responsible. Kanye should've never allowed this to happen.

    If he brought this condo out of love for his mother why didn't he sell it or pay it off? WTH is wrong with this generation? I don't care if you're wealthy or not.

SO IF YE DIDN'T WANT TO PAY OFF THE HOUSE THATS GOOD FOR HIM CUZ IF HE DID HE WOULDN'T HAVE GOT WHAT HE PAID FOR IT WHEN HE TRIED TO SELL IT IN TODAYS ECONOMY.

    What are you guys talking about he should've just sold the house and how come he didn't just pay off the mortgage? You guys have no sense of money besides what's in our pocket, it seems like.

    If he could just snap his fingers and sell the house I'm sure he would've. The economy is horrible right now, people just aren't making large purchases like they used to.
    And he was smart to keep a mortgage on the house, so he or his mother can deduct those interest payments on their taxes. Yes, Kanye has money but Mom wasn't broke either, she was a college professor, an author and whatever else. The loan was probably in her name.

    From dust we came and to dust, we return.

    In a sense it's sad to see how the earthly things she left behind are being managed, but honestly, we can't take it with us, when we leave.

    The house she'll have in heaven will be much better.

    I don't know the circumstances surrounding the foreclosure on this property, however, judging by some of the immature and insane comments posted on here about allowing a deceased person's home to go into foreclosre, I can only conclude many of you have either never been home owners or had estates you needed to care for after a loved one's death.

    I'm quite sure Mrs. West, on a Chicago professor's salary, did not purchase a CA condo herself. Kanye bought it for her. Why allow it to go into foreclosure just because she's deceased? It's real estate people. Sell or pay the thing off and then resell.

    Most celebs have business managers who handle their finances anyway.

    Foreclosure means he hasn't paid the mortgage for several months so it appears he couldn't afford this condo for his mother in the first place.
     

    focus
    @dukesman: I agree. It's reported that celebs earn all this money, buy homes yet they have mortgages on all of them.
    I can see tax breaks and having mortgages on a few but if you only own 1 or 2 homes, why aren't they paid off? If I could pay off my mortgage right now, I certainly would.

    Trooper: Interest only payments?? That's why we are in this blunder of a recession right now, because of people being uniformed and sleazy brokers selling predatory loans.

    Interest only loans leave you upside down, they are NOT the way to go. (says finance guru Suze Orman)

    SUZE SAYS
    In today's economy, if you can't afford a fixed rate mortgage, an adjustable rate mortgage that has an initial fixed rate for 3-5 years can make sense. But only if you are paying both interest and principal on that ARM. Any other type of ARM that gives you a low rate for a shorter period, or let's you delay paying principal is too risky; if that's the only way you think you can “afford” a home then I am here to tell you that you can't afford to do it.

    No we in this blunder because ppl that get the interest only take the extra money they saving and waste it. white ppl do it all the time, but they move every five years building up wealth in equity. See it's only the wrong way to go if u don't have a 700+ score and no plans to build wealth. Just like black ppl are scared to take equity out there homes and now they wish they did. cuz now u take it u going to get less then u would have a year ago. equity from your home is the best way to start a business then a business loan cuz the rate is cheaper and u get it back doing tax time. Believe me Suze is no GURU her shiit been provin wrong plenty of times. See she's a GURU cause she got ppl like yourself to buy into her stuff and books, tapes and now uno what????? She's rich.

    When you die... your bills just don't disappear. Thats why you get insurance to pay off all your bills not just your burial expense.

    Someone said, she doesn't need it. She's in heaven. - dumb comment

    So anyway... how do the make a son responsilbe for her finances... like I said the bills do not die, they are passed on to the closest kin which is Kanye and he has to pay the bills.

    Please talk to your parents and learn something about finances after death.

    Kudos to TROOPER!

    You are the only person who seems to "get it". Its obvious most here do not own property or know what's really going on in the real estate market.

    Due to the economy being what it is right now, its not that easy to just up and sell property.
    None of us know the entire story, but I'm sure Kanye has done what he has for a very good reason!
     

    uzcomnsenz
    One more thing...
    I purchased a foreclosed home and in 3 years my equity has tripled. If you really THINK for a minute, what he did makes perfectly good sense.

    Again we don't know the complete details, but I'm willing to bet the house was in his mother's name. Kanye has no ties to the condo if his name is not on the deed! 100K is what is owed for back payments. Its not what the property is worth. If he pays it, he keeps paying the mortgage,he maintains the upkeep, he has to sell and pay closing costs etc...That would cause him to dish out more money for property no one is occupying. Let the bank deal with it!

    There is enough information already there. I think what Kanye did was what he was forced to do. The value of the home is only $150,000, and the greedy banks were damanding a whooping $606,000! (most of which were socalled "late fees".) I am sure that had the banks been fair, he would have wanted to keep the home in the family as part of his family history for his children. The greed of the banks only added insult to injury since the man's mother was already deceased. What a shame!

    How is this heartless????

    Ok the woman is dead, but the taxes on the home still need to be paid. Are they supposed to automatically know she died? Kanye has to handle his business. People that are alive are loosing homes to forclosure, right now this is important. Who cares if Kanye hasn\'t paid the taxes on his momma\'s home. At least he has money.

    IF IM NOT MISTAKEN...DIDN'T KANYE BUY THAT HOUSE FOR HER?? THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED. KAYNE SHOULD HAVE TOOK OVER THE PAYMENTS OR PUT IT UP FOR SALE. IF HE WAS TOO BUSY GRiEVING, WORKING, ETC. HE SHOULD HAVE HIS "PEOPLE" DO SOMETHING.

Take over the payments? and sell it, get real, for what? Give the shyt back to the bank. You people talkin' like she going to be homeless.
