GALION — Merne Bodman can no longer drive past the house her parents built. She gets too emotional when she does.
She inherited the Shelby home in 1999 when her dad died. She bought her brothers out of their shares by getting an adjustable rate mortgage. Then payments increased from $535 to more than $700. Her husband, Jerry, went on disability, and medical bills cut into their income.
They lost that house in 2006. They moved into their old house in Galion, which they started renting when they moved to Shelby. They had a second mortgage on the home. Renters destroyed the place, and they fell behind on that mortgage. Now that house is in foreclosure.
