DMX’s Cave Creek Home In Forclosure
Rapper DMX, real name, Earl Simmons is sitting in jail waiting to be sentenced for theft, drug convictions and animal cruelty. The rapper who made millions from sales of his records as well as earned big bucks playing roles in several movies, now has his valley home in foreclosure.
Andrew Wheeler, the agent who is selling the shell of the once former prestigious home on behalf of the bank had this to say:
“It’s very nerve-racking, sometimes I think he’ll just show up, this was probably his pride and joy.”
A SWAT team raided the home last May and it’s now in shambles. The carpet and tiles are charred as well as doors and windows damaged and blown out. The raid left the house unsecured which allowed thieves to rob the place and toss things into the pool.
Wheeler said:
“I think people showed up, walked the house and took what they wanted.”
The panoramic views from the property are the primary selling feature, the same feature DMX in his reality show said as to why he bought the place .
DMX paid around 600k for the property back in 2003, and it is now listed for the bank set sale of $429k.
