That doesn't make sense. A friend of ours just won a house in Ponchatoula through St. Jude. The taxes were $65,000.00. She took out a home equity loan, paid the taxes and now how a small mortgage on a "free" house. She moved in last week. Those stories have to have more to them.

The roadblock here would be if an individual has a poor credit history. This will either prohibit them from taking out a loan that large, and if approved, the interest rate would be ridiculous. To me, it would make the most sense to take out a loan to pay the taxes, if the person can do so.
