Pam Losing Her Home

[FlippyDoo]

What amazes me about this woman is that she has put enough personal info on the net through her attempts at bragging over the years that anyone could probably go to the county tax website for her area and find out just how much she is lying about her "4 level" house with the "fully finished" basement.

Most county tax websites will tell you the square footage of the home, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, if the home has a basement how much of the basement is finished, and several other things. Most all of them will give you the appraised value of the home and when the home was purchased. Some will give you the estimated market value of the home. Some will also even allow you to pull up sketches or photos of the home.

My thoughts is this is just more attempts at bragging.
1) I have a house.
2) It's a "huge" "4 level" house.
3) It's paid for.
4) I'm so rich I'm looking at buying a condo.

Our house in Dallas was totally wrong. Didn't have the upper level sq footage in the total sq ft or have the pool figured in the assessed value (or any of the upgrades we did after we bought the house but they wouldn't have known about that until we sold the house). We never said anything because our taxes were obviously lower. When I look it up now, even after we sold it, the sq ft it still wrong.

The town has my house dead on.  Lot size, square footage, everything.  And sale price, assessed values, etc. 

Again, I'd be very interested to see the comps in her area.  No way in hell only three houses have sold in her neighborhood in the last 15 years.

They do boo-boo occasionally. I know several years back my parents' county had them owning half of the neighbors out buildings. In most cases though they are fairly accurate. Since a lot of county governments are hurting for money they are being more particular about making sure they catch any additions.

They have my info screwed up too.  According to the appraisal district we don't have any bedrooms.

A $700,000 + condo in Wichita Kansas? Wichita? the median income was $44,000 in 2009, compare that to Mendham NJ, the median income in 2010 was a little over $119,000, and the highest price condo in Mendham is $599,900, Mendham is less then an hour outside of NYC, rich rich rich, and you're going to tell me a condo in Wichita is more then Mendham? sorry, something doesn't sound right.

[NHSparky]

And keep in mind, that's a ONE BR condo going for $750K.  Even the 2BR/2BA with half the square footage are going for over $350K, plus HOA fees (be VERY surprised if it's less than $250-300/month.)  That's not a small chunk of change.

So assuming she goes for the one at $350K even with a mortgage at 4 percent, 30 years, 80 percent LTV, etc., she's looking at a payment of just over $1300/month, not including HOA fees, taxes, or insurance.  Total nut pushing 2000/month.  IOW, more than I'm paying now.

And oh yeah--anyone here think that condo will appraise for that?  Or that a bank will approve based on how long that place has been trying to sell those units, etc?

I haven't bothered to look up that information, but it would be simple since she lives on Greenbriar Lane in Wichita and her husband has a ham radio license, which means his address is a matter of public record. Check her out on Google Earth. Not exactly a gated community.

[Traveshamockery]

I found it.  It wasn't hard.  And her house isn't nearly as big as she tries to make it sound.

It just doesn't add up at all.

After I bought my house, the appraisal district send me an update that showed I owned only the front yard.   

[BEG]

Is it the one assessed for $94k?

I looked up that neighborhood on Zillow.  While I grant you that they can be pretty inaccurate sometimes, they're not THAT inaccurate.

Even if they own their house free and clear, they wouldn't even have enough cash from the sale of the home for a down payment on a $350K condo.

[Traveshamockery]

Is it the one assessed for $94k?

Oh, no.  It's assessed for way more at $97K.   

[sybilll]

The thing I found funny about all of this is the promotional video of those condos were whiter than Obama's Chicago campaign team, and Elizabeth Warren's as well (at least they each had 1 person of color).
I really think Pam conjures up these stories is because her hubs tuned her out years ago, and she is too unhinged to maintain any friendships.  DUmmies are her friends.  Pathetic.

[jtyangel]

Judging by the listings within a mile of her, I don't think she's lying about the value of her home--the range is 300K to over a million.

What you all should be hammering her about is the woman acted like she's in desperate straights as her validation for healthcare, using foodbanks, and begging for money online. She's very well off and is a fraud. She should be exposed for the example of the selfish bitch she is who leans left only because she wants to maintain her very comfortable lifestyle, not out of any real desperation to cover expenses she can't.

At least i have more respect for someone with no assets and low income wanting the government to help them. At least they have reason to worry about how they are going to make it day to day. This woman is a total fraud. How the imbeciles on DU tolerate her considering her situation and her penchant to act like one of the little guys despite it is beyond me.

[diesel driver]

Totally agree on all counts. Wonder where all the 'feed the rich' OWS types there are. So I thought she couldn't afford her cancer treatments? Sounds to me it's more like she didn't want her luxury slush fund touched to pay for them. What a piece of shit she is...total leeching loser.

I read in one of her posts that it's Crohns now, not cancer.

DUmmies probably thought "cancer" when she mentioned she had "the big 'C'".

I think you must be looking at the wrong street.

[BEG]

Here, I'll give her the better sounding estimate:

This is a Single-Family Home located at **** Greenbriar Lane, Wichita KS 67220. **** Greenbriar Ln has 4 beds, 1 ½ bath, and approximately 1,636 square feet. The property has a lot size of 0.3 acres and was built in 1968. The average list price for similar homes for sale is $111,123 and the average sales price for similar recently sold homes is $165,750. **** Greenbriar Ln is in the Northeast Heights neighborhood in Wichita, KS. The average list price for Northeast Heights is $105,883.

jty--you're looking in the wrong neighborhood.

Chlamydia?

Crotch-rot?

[jtyangel]

Ahh. I'm no Pam efficianado   Are there two greenbrier lanes because I only found the one and while I found nothing for sale on that street there were 2 pages of listings within a mile. Either way why does. Someone looking at the condos she is cry that she can't afford her 'c' treatments.  She's still a fraud whose real intention is to maintain her lifestyle rather than pay for anything except her own luxuries and conveniences.

[Karin]

Like Ballygrl, I can't get my mind wrapped around a dinky little condo for $750K in Wichita, KS.  Does not compute.

Again, it's not "dinky" at over 4000 square feet, but it's certainly not practical at only ONE bedroom.  Yeah, good luck reselling that condo, kids.

It's certainly not a family-friendly complex.

Okay, you forced me to do it. Look up "hubs" (a more revolting term than y***y) in the FCC amateur radio licenses for Wichita. You'll have an exact address.

Then plug that into Google Earth and you'll see the neighborhood.

Then go to street view and turn around until you're looking straight at Pammie's house from the street.

It's far grimmer than I thought it would be. Pam and Mark are gonna have a big problem with that $700K apartment.

Considering what a depressed town Wichita is, I don't see how that little crackerbox they live in could go for $100K.

She has four levels if she counts the basement, attic, and rooftop.
