This video amassed tens of millions of views, and since then, George has been featured on Dr. Phil and in news outlets worldwide, including BiggerPockets, Fox News, and Joe Rogan. Since this happened, George has been educating property owners about the financial devastation caused by squatters and title fraud. Unfortunately, title fraud has become a big problem in some parts of the country. Even the squatting issue is a potential problem some of us may have to deal with in the land business, so we’re going to get into this subject a bit today and understand what squatting is, what "squatters rights " are, why squatters have rights at all, and what a property owner can do to protect themselves and deal with a squatter if this issue ever comes up. 00:00:00 - Introduction to George McCleary 00:06:59 - What Is Squatting (and What It’s Not) 00:08:38 - How Squatters Do What They Do 00:12:44 - How Adverse Possession Works 00:14:28 - Ejectment vs. Eviction 00:17:47 - Squatters’ Motives 00:21:29 - The Shame of Getting Scammed 00:24:23 - What It Costs to Deal With a Squatter 00:28:22 - How to Protect Your Property 00:35:14 - How Squatters Make Money 00:40:39 - “Squatting on the Squatter” 00:43:22 - What Is Title Fraud? 00:52:43 - Squatting vs. Title Fraud 00:58:45 - Squatter Defender and Title Fraud Defender 01:00:20 - George’s Viral Video and Aftermath 01:07:08 - What Is Phrogging? 01:12:36 - Where to Reach George #retipsterpodcast #retipster #realestate #realestateinvesting #titlefraud #squatter #squatting #squatters
