A close friend of mine just won the renter's lottery. After steeling himself to the high likelihood of renting an apartment his entire life, his parents befriended a mean ol' recluse in their book club. As he grew grouchier and more senile, this old man revealed that he owned property–a decrepit house–in the middle of the city and had no heirs to pass it on to and no friends to speak of. My friend, the guy who'd prepared for a lifetime of renting, was GIVEN this house under the premise of cleaning out the hoarder piles and the rats. To me, it seems like the score of a lifetime.
Some folks are just lucky to have no strings attached like that, but the woman in our next story wasn't so lucky.

Breaking the curse of bad behavior in the family feels impossible. However, this young woman, who'd just stated a life with her husband and young child, was given the opportunity of a lifetime to break ties with her toxic family members in the form of a secretly inherited home.
If you're under the age of 45, owning a home feels like a nearly impossible milestone in life.

The woman in this next story was accidentally gifted the deed to her parent's house after they tried to hide their assets and avoid bankruptcy. Now, after the passing of her father, the skeletons in their financial closet are being revealed, turning a toxic family situation into a potential opportunity of a lifetime.
Read on for all the details of this family drama that helped this young woman get her new family's feet off the ground and out of the renter's rat race forever.
