Kenneth Robinson took up residency in $330,000 home for $16 via "adverse possession."
The nation is suffering and people are “making a way where they can”; not by robbing and stealing, but squatting. There are foreclosed homes in every type of community and if people start doing their research, it appears they can be in a nice home with little to no money down…ever! Foreclosed homes have been easy prey for squatters, but squatters have been removed once the jig is up (and even that isn’t that easy due to something called “squatter’s rights”). But one Texas man is reaping the benefits of his informal education on Texas law. He walked in a $330,000 home and took up residency where his neighbors aren’t being neighborly at all.
Kenneth Robinson of Flower Mound, Tx., must’ve been looking at this house for some time as it sat on the market for over a year without any sign of new ownership. During that time, Roberson simply filed a little paper of “adverse possession” with the city and walked through the door with a key he claims he found. The house has no water or electricity, but according to the law, as long as he stays in the house for three years, he can ask for the title. Really? Time to go house hunting, right?
The neighbors are in an uproar because they didn’t think of this. They’re trying their best to get him out of there. They want him to put up the dough just like they did and he has no plans on doing that. Check it out.

I say he has legal right to be there. The neighbors are just mad that he’s black and he only paid 16.00 for the house.When GOD says enough, it will be enough. White people are known for schemes. They will take what ever they could. THis black man followed the law. This is Texas fault. Texas law thinks it’s better than any other state. A note to neighbors, you need to take a deep breath, because he’s not going any where.

The problem here is the title of the article. Why did the writer need to write “Black man” instead of just man? We all would have seen this in the video and if there was no video why put a racist twist? Quit pushing this racist view on society. Go to school and get a damn journalism degree and learn how to write ethically. Get out of damn bedroom while looking on youtube and research the information yourself. Help society instead of destroying it!!!

Just wait until he gets the bill for his taxes. He’ll be gone in a year.
