No Mortgage? No Problem!
NORTH HOLLYWOOD - For the new resident, the foreclosed three-bedroom house on Beck Avenue - complete with a remodeled kitchen, hardwood floors and a pool - must have been a dream come true.
The 1,600-square-foot home was listed for about $419,000 when the man moved in last month.
One problem: It wasn’t his. He was a squatter.
“He had the door barricaded. He had a mirror that was taken off the wall that he had propped up so he could keep an eye on the front door to see if anybody was coming in,” Realtor Steve Smallson said.
The man also lugged a bed into the home and snuck in and out through an out-of-view bathroom window, Smallson said.
