[@CarnivoreStork]

Dear Homeowners, First go online to your County property tax records and check to see if your crazy neighbors are on the tax records as owners or if their landlord name & address is recorded. If they are renters; send off a letter to the landlord describing what is happening and the date & time of the Police visit. Let the Landlord know these people’s actions are lowering the property value etc. sometimes the landlord has enough cause to evict them.

[@alinatamashevich3354]

Also, if they are buying and have a mortgage, you can send a letter to the mortgage company informing them of their actions and or property conditions (if in disrepair) . That will trigger a visit.

A couple of my neighbors are feuding and are real petty lol. It started with a 9year old kid flying a mini drone above his own house and the back neighbor thought it was a spy drone. There are now trail cams/security cameras involved and the cops are called weekly over the stupid crap. We all have about 5 acres of land so we aren’t right on top of each other. The neighbors just share a section of woods behind their properties. I’m not in the middle of it but both wife’s text me about it to vent lol.

Agree. Why should the caller's family be forced to move? I would keep calling the cops and documenting everything. If they are renters, the landlord needs to be notified of all of this. Get a restraining order or no trespass order on them. If they keep up the verbal abuse, they could be charged with assault.

[@cch6127]

A year ago, my husband and I had to finally move from our well-loved home of 16 years. Our previous next-door neighbor moved out of state and "rented" his house to his ex-convict son. The son had been in and out of prison for over 30 years, was a drug addict and played extremely loud satanic-type music all day. The owner of the house did not leave a forwarding address with the city or county. The police were called by multiple home owners on the street multiple times. The police also had a warrant out for the son's arrest. When I asked the policeman why they didn't arrest him since they had out a warrant for his arrest (this time for theft) the policeman looked me in the eye and said they had to save their few remaining beds for worse offenders. I said to him "So in other words, until this guy kills one of us, he will be free to continue what he is doing" and the officer said "Yes". After two other families sold their homes and moved - the last one being a retired judge (yes, it was a very nice neighborhood), we finally realized we had to leave. It has been very costly for us (our previous house was paid off), but it was worth it for the peace of mind. So bottom line: this does happen in "nice" neighborhoods, calling the police and even having a warrant out for arrest means nothing, just because people are renting does not mean you can find the owner.

If the neighbors are that obnoxious, they may also try to scare off potential buyers.

The realtor who was showing the house said she was having problems renting that house because of him. To just ignore him.😮 I told her to video record each time he does that and the property owner needs to sue him for causing loss of income for each month the house stayed on the market.

Let a property management company buy that house and move renters in, crime, vandalism, littering and just generally irresponsible behavior will become the norm instead. Renters are the worst. I know. I had some rental properties my Dad bought in the 80's and 90's. If rental properties get prolific in a neighborhood you might as well sell to management company and get out quick.

[@AllynHin]

Sounds similar to my neighbors. When the neighbors moved in, we had four security cameras covering our property. After their antics started, we now have nine cameras and I'm looking to put in four more to have more complete coverage all around the property. We caught someone (presumably their kids) throwing eggs at our house. (I say "someone" since we don't have cameras pointing at their property, but our cameras recorded the eggs sailing over the fence from their property.) The husband played music so loud that I downloaded a decibel meter and recorded the sound level on my front porch. Some days it was over 90 decibels. I didn't file nuisance complaints. I just held on to the recorded sound-level values in case I needed them later and waited for him to get tired of trying to harass us. We just ignored everything they did but kept evidence of it in case things escalated. Eventually he did get tired of trying to harass us or maybe he just found someone else to focus his juvenile antics toward, but I'm still putting in the extra cameras.

@@johndone8045 This, I'm sure, varies by location, but in the county in which I live, noise over a certain decibel level during the day can be addressed as a public nuisance. Without taking the time to look it up again, I think the law specified 75 decibels, so yes, playing music that can be heard on an adjoining property at over 90 decibels no matter what time of the day it is, qualifies as a ticketable offense.

He yelled at her "You tell that land lord of yours I'm going to charge him $50 every time I have to rake those leaves!" This was a Sycamore tree with huge leaves thar drop in the fall, in central Florida deciduous trees aren't that common: most of our trees hVe small leaves that don't drop all at once like this, but I wad 100% legally in the right. So I went to see him, and he wouldn't come out. My tenant thinks its because I'm a big guy. Eventually I cut it down which may seem like I caved to terrorists, but I didn't live there. My tenant did. She would have to deal with it and she and her NYC attitude seemed to enjoy it but who wants to come to a home where a battle could flair up anytime? Plus everyone hated the tree anyway because of the leaves and it was tall enough to damage the house if a hurricane knocked it over. I got rid of the tree and the problems vanished.

[@9liveslisa]

I've been in my house 20 years. It's a very nice street and the majority of my neighbors are nice people. But I live next door to a drug user and drug dealer. He's lived there about 10 years. His family owns the house and they put him in there pretty much because they don't want to deal with HIM. Everyone on the street hates the situation and the crap he does. We've had SWAT teams here twice and he has been jailed twice. When he's home the traffic to his house picks up so we have weird high strung out people coming and going 24/7 via walking, skateboards, scooters, motorcycles, and cars/trucks. I finally put up fences around my front yard because I got tired of people walking across my yard and some have even driven their cars/trucks across my front lawn. He and his associates make everyone on the street miserable pretty much. But I'm not moving. I'm retired. My house is paid for. And I'm not budging. The fence has helped a lot. I have security cameras around the perimeter of my house. The point of my story is sometimes you have a horrible neighbor and yeah you can move, but it is expensive to move. So on my street none of my neighbors want to move, so we just keep a watch on the situation and file police reports if we see illegal activity going on. We are now aware that if he does go to jail, they won't keep him long. He was out in 9 months the first time and he just got out of jail the 2nd time after 3 months. Oh and I forgot to mention we had 2 drive-by shootings in 24 hours last July and a friend of HIS was shot in the stomach. He brought frigging guns to our street. Everyone on the street heaved a big groan when we heard he was back home from jail. At least our street is on the sheriff's radar, but it appears that HE has more rights than tax paying homeowners do.

[@mluterancik]

They need to get over the 15 year fixed. People cant afford it. These are different times.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

No. They're only as unaffordable as homes in general.

[@kekejefferson9219]

I had to go through this. Your next home will be on a acre or 2.

[@anthonykence9954]

These neighbors are hillbillyish

[@Its_thatgirl_leah]

OMG! My husband and I have been having issues with our neighbors too! We have lived in our house for almost a year. I don’t know if this is lucky or not, but the neighbors are renters - whereas we are homeowners - and I have CONSTANTLY report complaints about the current tenants to the rental company. Most of the time the issues have been resolved when reported to the rental company and the renters are not confrontational and won’t speak or wave to us. But this past week someone moved in with the current tenant. That individual has been having a lot of company over and has been using fowl language loudly - specifically the “F” bomb and the “N” word! Makes me feel totally uncomfortable! 😡

Forced selling is a thing that many people forget to talk about.

😂😂 Tell them to Move !!!

I have a drunk ex cop who was fired for being wasted in his police cruiser and has threatened to kill me a dozen times. The sheriffs department protects him and his families toxic behavior.

[@drewan8]

I cant help but wonder how much of this is a neighbor problem v. how much this person wants a different house. She says shes a "follower of the Dave Ramsey plan" yet wants to get a 30 year mortgage. I'm thinking shes done with this "starter" house and wants to pick her "forever" house.

[@eatenvegan1565]

I would move.

[@loganstoll2947]

It’s like fear thy neighbor

[@joeriveracomedy]

I have the amount that the web says people are supposed to be happy at but I would not spend a penny to live in a neighborhood. Scum have money too. Scary.

[@mrsparex]

Great fences make better neighbors... Build the tallest, longest fence allowed

[@everydaygamer7787]

In Arizona it’s hard to get a 15 year fixed with 25% of take home pay you have to get a 30 year fix

[@dnah02]

Yeah for many regular folks that won't work but many regular folks can do it in 20 to 25 years if they get their numbers right.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Nope. That just means you cannot afford a house AT ALL.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Regular folks CANNOT AFFORD ANY HOUSE AT ALL@@dnah02

[@Drenwickification]

I’m not usually for suing culture but if they are able to sue for defamation I would with these guys.

[@grayandgray]

Crazy neighbors would be frustrating, I have had experience of moving and happy to escape them. BUT that was when I was renting. Aside from that, sounds like mortgages aren't portable/blendable in the States to the next property?

[@cturnerb]

Do need to remember that you don't get to choose your neighbors unless you have family members move in all around you. Yeah, that's not likely.

[@amazingjason455]

Why don’t they like you?

[@crashtestdummy1972]

The best thing to do is set up a situation where you can get the neighbors criminally charged and force them to either sell. You have cameras, use them to your advantage to entrap the neighbors.

[@drewbaker5364]

They will probably be more happy to move. Get a fresh start and maybe upgrade in house. They have a lot of equity and have the financial means too.

[@dnah02]

Or move and rent out the house.

[@JustinCase780]

You move over a freak show neighbor? You almost own the house. Obviously a lot of missing "like" details "like" what "like" transpired to get to this situation. She needs to have a safe zone. 😂

[@thejakelegion]

My next door neighbor walked into my yard and punched my 2 year old son in the face while he was playing in the snow. The city, who owned the house, did nothing. The prosecutor dropped the charges, and we moved 4 months later. Fortunately for us, we had been saving for a long time and were in a place to do that. Sometimes moving is the right answer.

[@JustinCase780]

@@thejakelegion No way.. Did you call the cops straight away after the attack? No way did this just get dropped if you took action to protect your child.

[@thejakelegion]

@@JustinCase780 yes it did. We had it on camera. But the woman was from the Sudan and the city is run by liberals. The city owned the house and said they would kick them out. Instead, the city said they no longer have to pay rent! So the city prosecutor brought them up on charges. And then they dropped the charges! All caught on camera. Zero justice.

[@cuh720]

[@csx6910]

Okay, but what if _they_ had to move? Think outside the box and get creative.

[@breannalynn1038]

😂😂

[@TheSejonger]

Great job by Jade getting to the actual numbers and what options they have. Typically John and George just go the complete wrong direction whilst trying to emulate Ramsey. Kind of have to question the value of pushing a 15 year fixed though when you could get more flexibility doing a 30 year fixed with additional payments towards principal.

[@jimroscovius]

Because most people don't pay the extra payments.

[@grantguy8933]

Move Sarah.

[@Piccolo_Re]

If you have terrible neighbors, just ignore them. If it’s loud music late at night, you can file a noise complaint and call police. Get your other neighbors to complain about them too. But cameras are your best bet. Push them out of the neighborhood instead of vice versa.

[@larrybarbee4916]

This is I watch on fear thy neighbor. In these cases, someone is going to die, and the other person could end up in jail. It MIGHT be time to move. This is unfortunate.

[@christinah9954]

I’m sure these idiots are NOT free of criminal offenses if they are acting like this to their neighbors.

[@Ron-j2m]

Guess it pays to be a bully

[@danguzy918]

In my opinion, safety comes first. If they’re feeling threatened they should sell and move. Take the hit now, pay the 7%, refinance when rates rebound. Better to pay more if they can afford to than to stay where they might be in a dangerous situation.

[@Damon-qt3fw]

The problem is that if the market tanks again, which is very likely lately, they are stuck and won't be able to refinance.

[@shavenyak1]

Get a restraining order against your neighbors.
