House #1.The people from the St. Paul levee took a house my Dad was selling/showing for a realtor .in the west Seventh area
Dad showed a house near St Clair & Seventh , to a family that was living on the flood levee , they shook Dad’s hand and moved right in taking over the house with no contract or paperwork signed , owning it by possession. Dad may have lost his job over this but he wouldn’t say .
House #2.The Esling lawyer (on seventh st.west ) conned my Dad , saying he was a real estate lawyer. believing he was , my Dad let Esling write up a contract for deed
This led to over 30 + years of payments, Esling must have pocketed 10’s of thousands over that time = a house.
The house NEVER GOT SOLD . In fact , when my parents were old and gray they still owned that property and found out the so called buyers were no longer keeping it insured and in fact ran that property into the ground
Throwing it back at my parents , that cost our family more than money .
My relationship with my parents with my brother and sisters was forever damaged by that house
Dad was so upset that he turned his frustrations on me . You see after he got the house back he still had to fix it up and try to sell it again
Without the help of the west Seventh gang , thank god .
That , fixing the house was too big a task for my old Dad , so he turned to my brother and I, ( not able to afford a contractor he used us)
My bro and I lived in the house and got it in good enough shape to sell . But Dad was besides himself and turned on me , saying I was mooching and dragging the job out .
I took this tirade from Dad and he was very verbal and Dumped all the frustrations of the failed deed and vandalized property ( the people who lived there didn’t like the contract for deed either and left very bitterly)
House #3. The third house taken from my Dad/ family was a house my parents had worked for and represented successfully living their dream 658 Lincoln.
But that house got burdensome after 22 years of trying to get accepted in the area , the elites and their offspring turned away , and even libelous gossip and false accusations grew and grew .
My parents gave up their dream home and limped back to the “ east side “ as the snobs like to call it .
I took the majority of the blame. Dad saying “ I blame you Glen for losing the Lincoln house “
That’s three houses the rich mob took from a blind man’s family.
