I’m in the process of purchasing a house. The current resident used a loanshark to buy the house for her as she could not qualify for traditional financing. After a few years she still could not get traditional financing and the loanshark wants to sell the property. The current tenant is a little upset at me as she views me as stealing the house from under her.

Part of why she can’t afford the house and I can is that she drives a Cadillac escalade and I drive a tiny 5 speed hatchback car.
