Extreme Foreclosure

Per the Charlotte Observer, ABC-TV's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will surprise a Charlotte family with a renovation.

I hope they heed this cautionary tale from MSNBC where three years after Extreme Makeover, the home has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis when the family used it as collateral for a $450,000 loan.

I'm also waiting for the episode where Extreme Makeover buys a vacant, foreclosed property in disrepair and refurbishes it and returns it to its former owner.
