Former NBA Player Robert Swift Refuses to Leave Foreclosed Home
Robert Swift, a former NBA star, was drafted in 2004 right out of high school. His NBA career was short and so are his living arrangements. His Seattle home has been foreclosed on, and Swift is refusing to leave. Swift is not taking care of the home well either.
The outside of the property is not maintained, and surrounded by trash (beer and Four Loco cans galore). There are buckets of water sitting with trash inside of it. The cars in the driveway seem to not have moved in a very long time.
If Swift is not out of the home by the end of February, he will be evicted by the sheriff’s office.

Former Kiss Guitarist Ace Frehley in Foreclosure
Former KISS guitarist, Ace Frehley, is in foreclosure on his Westchester home. He has not paid his mortgage for two-years. It has been reported that he owes over $700,000 on the $735,000 three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. He purchased the 2,441 square foot residence on Feb. 15, 2006.
However, the bad news does not stop there. Frehley also owes almost $20,000 in back property taxes. This ‘Spaceman’ better get some quick cash or KISS that home goodbye.

NFL Jevon Kearse in Foreclosure on Florida Home
It seems that we have another former athlete in foreclosure this week. Jevon Kearse was a NFL All-Pro superstar who retired three years ago. He played 11 seasons for the Titans and Eagles. This former football player is now in foreclosure. He owes the bank $5.25 million on a Pompano Beach, Fla. home.
The bank filed the foreclosure suit on the 6,000 sq. ft. home on Dec. 19. If that is not enough bad news for this athlete, the IRS stepped in and filed a tax lien against Kearse for $425,015. This was over his 2010 income.

Lindsay & Dina Lohan headed to foreclosure
First, a rumor began about Linsday Lohan being evicted from her Beverly Hills apartment. Lohan denied these allegations and said she simply moved to New York. Well, it is true that she moved to Long Island, NY., where she is staying with her mother. We also know that in Oct. 2012, Lohan helped save her mother’s Long Island home from a foreclosure.
It looks like this home is back on the chopping block from the bank. It was just announced that the New York home has just received another foreclosure notice. When the Mean Girls star gave her mother $40,000 to save the home, they believed this would help resolve the situation. Well, it turns out on Feb. 7, 2013, the New York Post said there was paperwork taped to the front gate of the property.
It was a legal notice serving Lindsay and Dina.

NBA Allen Iverson’s Atlanta Mansion Foreclosed
In Dec., we learned that Allen Iverson’s Atlanta mansion was getting ready to be placed in a foreclosure auction. He defaulted on the $1.2 million mortgage, which caused it to go into foreclosure. The home is valued around $4.5 million. Iverson did not let go of the house without a fight.
In fact, he did delay the foreclosure auction until now. As of yesterday, the bank purchased the Atlanta mansion for $2.5 million (via TMZ). If that is not bad enough, during his divorce case this week, the judge basically called him the worst dad in the world.
This NBA superstar is not so super anymore.
