\f0\fs24 \cf0 >> Joanne: ONE PROPERTY OWNER'S\ LOSS MAYBE ANOTHERS GAIN THIS\
WEEK AS MORE THAN 100 PROPERTIES\ GO UP FOR AUCTION.\
JOINING TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS\ IS DAN McALLISTER SAN DIEGO\
COUNTY TREASURER AND TAX\ COLLECTOR.\
THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK TO THE\ \page SHOW.\
>> MY PLEASURE.\ >> Joanne: WHY ARE THESE OWNERS\
LOSING THEIR HOMES THIS WEEK.\ >> THESE OWNERS WHO MAYBE IN\
JEOPARDY OF LOSING THEIR HOMES\ IN THE AUCTION ARE OWNERS NOT\
LIVING UP TO THEIR LEGAL\ RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY PROPERTY\
TAXES.\ THEY HAVEN'T PAID TAXES IN FIVE\
YEARS OR MORE.\ >> Joanne: OKAY.\
>> IT'S NOT AS IF SOMEONE IS\ JUST FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR\
HOMES BECAUSE THEY HAVE MISSED A\ PAYMENT.\
THEY HAVE MISSED FIVE YEARS OF\ PAYMENTS PLUS INTERESTS AND\
PENALTIES.\ THEY HAVE REFUSED TO STEP UP AND\
ENGAGE US IN CONVERSATION ABOUT\ A PAYMENT PLAN TO PAY THOSE\
TAXES OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF\ TIME.\
>> Joanne: TELL US ABOUT THE\ PROPERTIES THEN ARE.\
THEY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES,\ INVESTMENT PROPERTIES, RENTALS?\
>> MOST ARE NOT.\ THE PICTURES OF SOME OF THESE\
WONDERFUL PLACES FOR SALE ARE\ KIND OF UNUSUAL.\
BY AUCTION TIME THAT IS FRIDAY\ MORNING MANY TIMES THEY'RE\
REDIEMED THE NIGHT BEFORE BY\ 5:00 O'CLOCK THE NIGHT BEFORE.\
THERE IS A LEGAL OBLIGATION ON\ OUR PART TO GIVE PEOPLE A FINAL\
NOTICE THAT SAYS YOU HAVE THE\ RIGHT TO REDIEM YOUR PROPERTY.\
IF YOU BRING IN THE MONEY UP TO\ 5:00 O'CLOCK THE NIGHT BEFORE\
THE AUCTION.\ MOST OF THE TIME THAT HAPPENS.\
HOWEVER WE CAN'T BE SURE AND WE\ HAVE TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC THE\
AUCTIONS ARE TAKING PLACE.\ EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WE END UP\
WITH PROPERTIES LIKE YOU SEE ON\ \page THE PICTURES HERE.\
>> Joanne: WE JUST SHOWED PEOPLE\ FAIRLY NICE PROPERTIES THAT LOOK\
BELOW MARKET.\ I WENT THROUGH THE LIST.\
SOME SAY $1500, $2500.\ DOES THIS HAPPEN AT AUCTION,\
AMAZING BARGAINS?\ >> IN SEVERAL CASES, YES.\
IN MOST CASES, NO.\ THERE IS A REASON IN SOME OF THE\
SMALL EAR MOUNTS THAT PEOPLE\ HAVE NOT PAID THE PROPERTY\
TAXES.\ LET'S GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF\
THOSE.\ ONE MAYBE AN EXAMPLE WHERE UNCLE\
HARRY PASSED AWAY HE WILLED THE\ PROPERTY IN A RURAL AREA COVERED\
WITH BRUSH, HE COULDN'T SEE THE\ PROPERTY UNLESS HE WAS ON TOP OF\
MOUNT WOODSON WITH A TELESCOPE.\ THE REALITY STRIKES HOME BECAUSE\
HE SEES GRANITE BOULDERS WITH\ GRAFFITI ON THEM.\
WE HAVE ALL SEEN THAT IN THE IN\ THE EAST COUNTY AREAS.\
HE REALIZES WHY SHOULD I PAY\ TAXES ON THIS PROPERTY.\
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO USE IT\ HE WALKS AWAY FROM IT.\
DOESN'T HURT.\ HE MAY HAVE A DING ON HIS\
CREDIT, BUT THE REALITY IS HE\ HASN'T FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY OR\
THINGS THAT WOULD HURT HIS\ CREDIT FOR A LONG TIME.\
THEY WALK AWAY FROM PROPERTY\ LIKE THAT.\
THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE A\ DEVELOPER HAD A WONDERFUL IDEA\
ABOUT SUB DID I I'DING PARTS OF\ THE DESSERT IN BORREGO SPRINGS\
WITH DREAMS THAT PEOPLE WOULD\ RUSH OUT TO THE DESSERT TO BUILD\
A DREAM VACATION HOME OR AND\ THEY WALKED AWAY, OR THE BANK\
PULLED THE FUNDING OR THE BANK\ WENT UNDER OR THE PEOPLE WENT\
UNDER.\ \page SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES, THE\
BEST WE CAN DO ARE SATELLITE\ SHOTS THAT LOOK LIKE MOON SHOTS.\
LITERALLY.\ THEY HAVE SUB DID I SIDED ROCK\
AND SAND.\ >> Joanne: YOU HAVE SOME THAT\
ARE OWNER OCCUPIED THIS YEAR,\ DON'T YOU.\
>> WE.\ DO WE HAVE 15 OUT OF I BELIEVE\
31 REMAINING PROPERTIES TO\ AUCTION OFF THAT ARE OWNER\
OCCUPIED.\ IN THOSE CASES THIS IS UP TO THE\
BUYER, THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER, TO\ TAKE CARE BY LEGAL MEANS TO PUT\
THE PEOPLE OUT OF THOSE HOUSES\ ONCE THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF THE\
OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS.\ THAT IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY\
AT ALL.\ >> Joanne: SO, JUST SO PEOPLE\
UNDERSTAND IF THEY, THEY BID\ SUCCESSFULLY ON A HOME, THEY PAY\
AND SOMEONE IS LIVING IN IT THEY\ JUST LOST IT.\
IT'S UP TO THEM TO HAVE THEM\ EVICTED.\
>> THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO\ MAKE ARRANGEMENTS LEGALLY TO LET\
PEOPLE KNOW THEY'RE NO LONGER\ ABLE TO STAY IN THOSE HOUSES.\
THESE ARE PEOPLE NOT LIVE UP TO\ THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR FIVE\
YEARS.\ THUS DEPRIVING THE REST OF THE\
TAXPAYERS WHO HAVE PAID ON TIME\ THE RIGHT TO HAVE FULL\
COMPENSATION.\ WE ESTIMATE IF WE REDIEM ALL OF\
THE PROPERTIES LEFT IN THE\ AUCTION WE WILL BRING BACK OVER\
$2.1 MILLION IN BACK TAXES AND\ PENALTIES.\
THIS IS MONEY THAT GOVERNMENTS\ READILY NEED NOW.\
SCHOOL DISTRICTS WOULD USE THE\ MONEY.\
42 PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS\ \page DERIVE 42% OF ALL TAX DOLLARS WE\
COLLECT.\ IT'S IMPORTANT THOSE MONIES ARE\
RETURNED TO THE PEOPLE.\ >> Joanne: WHAT WEBSITE CAN\
PEOPLE GO TO FIND OUT MORE\ INFORMATION.\
