Prince goes into foreclosure in Chanhassen, MN.

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

The great purple one seems to be facing tough financial issues. He is set to lose his 20 acres of land in Chanhassen to a Sheriff’s sale on May 13th unless he forks over enough money to pay back taxes.

This is not the first time Prince has been in financial trouble in Minnesota. Last year, he reportedly paid $1.3million in back and current property taxes to Carver County.

He currently owes about $386,000 to the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Co.  This is seams like a  drop in the bucket for a famous pop artist like Prince.  However, it seems he is a better singer then business man.

The property currently is just the 20 acres with a tennis court and gaurd house locaed on Galpin in Chanhassen, MN. The value is $1.15million down from $1.5 million a year ago according to Carver County records.

Adzookie — Make your home into an ad!

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

This is the funniest thing I have read in a while. Adzookie is a company that will turn your home into a billboard by painting it whatever ad they are selling. In return, Adzookie will pay your mortgage monthly as long as you have it painted.

For home owners that are having problems, this may be the way to go.  Such a clever idea for an ad company. Adzookie’s executives say they have had 1000s of inquiries already.  I wonder what city  zoning would have to say about this in the future.
