In the USA, can you lose your home even after it is 100% paid off? (lemmy.ml)

Let’s say that you buy a home in cash and have 100% paid off. Could you still lose it somehow?

Every country pretty much. Lawsuit. Don't pay taxes. Owe money to someone personally. You don't get to hide your assets behind a home and get into financial trouble in other areas.

This is also why homeowners typically live within the law. Too much to loose.
