: MediaTakeOut.com has some bad news – Lisa and Ed Hartwell from the Real Housewives Of Atlanta were just put out their house. Here’s the report – from one of MediaTakeOut.com’s faithful:
Lisa Wu Hartwell of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" [in early July] vacated the multimillion dollar mansion located outside of Atlanta in Duluth , GA. The house that they just moved out of is the house that was featured on season 1 as well as season 2.We've since learned that the house was sold for $1.9 million - that's $1 million less than they owed on their mortgage.The house is located at 7865 St. Marlo Fairway Drive Duluth, GA 30097. The house is not currently listed for sale. Don't worry about getting a pic of it, [It's] a highly gated community, lol.
They scrambled to get out of the house to avoid being put out by the bank and or the Marshalls. Ed Hartwell who is an ex-football player reportedly has not played football in two years due to an injury and has not been able to maintain a job since then. Lisa is in the real estate business, well you know how that market is doing right now.

Sharon...oops, I mean Lisa, as she now calls herself filed for bankruptcy so that she wouldn't have to pay back money she borrowed from former husband Keith Sweat. It's called karma...and it goes around. And to those of you speaking in her defense, of they have another house, they have to live somewhere!
Black people we need to stop living beyond our means, with that being said MTO i've been giving yall a pass recently but if yall wanna stay relevant keep on kissing whiteys azz and maybe yall can hold onto yall business too. Yall love to poke fun at people's misfortune. What kind of person enjoys seeing someone suffer, you have to have inner devils that need to be controled. Here just for you!
[link to external website removed]
After seeing how Big Poppa and his FAMILY is balling out of control and the home they live in (video on T-M-Z) it confirms why all these heffas hate Kim, him and his wife must have some kind of open marriage thing because the money he tricks on Kim, nobody is missing it. Here it is all the rest of the women are doing all they can to keep the water running and YT getting a free ride. Ed should stop following Lisa, who is not thinking about another baby and man up get a damn job and STAY on a team cuz that's his dream.
@Davis, They to busy trying to floss for the cameras and stunt like they the shyt. Its funny Kim the only 1 with money. Ed needs to get a real job now and stop with his NFL dreams. He has a family to support and Lisa needs to get it together for her two children that she has by Keith Sweat and stop running aroung ATL like a teenager.
OK TITLE SAYS FORECLOSED AND STORY Says FOR SALE..
they could have did a short sale and just pay what is left on the damn house mto...DOESNT mean there broke they might be trying to SAVE FOR A RAINY DAY because I am sure 5 years ago a lot of people where living day to day and not living thinkin of their future.. Now that the economy has taken a downward slop..THEY ARE PROBABLY tring to get they ishhhhh together...ughhhhh
They are not broke...they did a short sale for their property and got out. That is a smart move if you are underwater in your property. The house was worth 2.9 million in 2007 and stole for 1.9 million today. That is a huge drop in property value. Now, when you do a short sale on a property you are not required to pay the payment but that doesnt stop foreclosure proceeding. Now, they live in another home which is on 10 acres in Atlanta. MTO is late and wrong with the story. LOL!

Dam, that is so sad. just to think they had all these businesses, well she had the biznesses. My thing is he stayed in her azz. After seeing tht his football career was ova why didnt he do something else to provide 4 his family. All he did was stay on camera w her and the baby. Then he talking about he want another child. he cant even provide for his only one. I blame him.
This ish is embarrassing and soo typical. And I don't feel bad because thats what happens when you try to keep up with the "Jones'". Lisa should have been putting cash away for a rainy day instead of splurging considering her husband was not bringing in any funds. SMDH. Talk about F'd up priorities!!
Here you go: TMZ has learned Hartwell and her husband, former Oakland Raiders linebacker Edgerton Hartwell, were booted from their multi-million dollar Georgia mansion last week -- after the bank foreclosed on the place and sold it shortly after.
Hartwell's rep tells us the couple was in talks with the lender to restructure the loan because the home had lost value -- but that failed. They originally bought the place for $2.9 mil back in 2007 -- but the bank only got $1.9 mil when they resold it this month.
The rep says "Ed and Lisa are fine. They have settled in their [new] home.

I don't like Lisa this season. She's messy as hell. I'm waiting on somebody to pull her bitch card..All of them talk about each other, but they all want to gang up on Kim for talking about them, smh..Get da [EXPLETIVE] outta here. Kim is the ONLY one, besides Deshaun, who is not on there anymore, has not had any foreclosures and reposessions. This is why they are so mad at Kim. She got all the diamonds, furs, cars and money..Her wig is just [EXPLETIVE] up, but hey, she can't be perfect. And if the married men want to be dumb enough to give her their money, then so be it!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP HATING ON KIM.

@ WUTUPDOE313,
I was saying the same thing a few weeks ago, & I guess I pi$$ed off some of the show's most loyal sheep, cuz then I was all types of f@990ts, I needed a hug, my seed was a gremlin, I look like I'm 50 & I stank.
I guess some folks can't handle the truth, so they choose 2 assassinte my character 4 having an opinion.
the last thing you need to be doing is fake stunting, because if you do, it will come out. im so tired of these broke ass bamas acting like they are big shots when they cant pay their bills. they have the nerve to be stuck up to !! i might not claim to have the money they do, but at least im not foreclosed on !!
It's so funny. Everyone always said DeShawn and Lisa were the only ones with real money. I said, no, not Lisa, LOL and people called me a hater. I know a thirsty woman attempting to secure the money (lisa) when I see one. This is unfortunate. Every other season, these folks will have different houses on this show.
Well, at least Kandi is in the same house she purchased when she was 19. She seems to be smart with her money.
okay, I'm gonna post this & I'm done....
The Real Houswives of Atlanta Really Are Broke Posted by Alexis Stodghill on Aug 7th 2009
Popular women's site Jezebel has amassed in one place evidence that confirms what we always suspected. Most of the women appearing on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' are hardly the rich women they pretend to be. Far from being pampered princesses without a care, NeNe, Kim, Lisa and Sheree are plagued with financial, family and relationship problems just like everybody else. Perhaps this makes for great reality television, because if these ladies were truly elite, they might not be as fun to watch.
From a financial perspective, their mistakes in business, real estate and love provide money lessons on what NOT to do. NeNe's husband for instance, used his job to help friends with bad credit, rather than using his business prospects to build up his financial future. Now he is getting sued as a direct result. Kim made a bad financial investment in her house, which she now has to sell at a huge loss. She was also almost totally dependent on a wealthy boyfriend, until this show came along. And Lisa is being sued by ex-husband Keith Sweat for borrowing $150,000 to make a film that apparently never made a profit. Sheree's divorce and lack of a substantial settlement have been widely reported on. Now she seems to be struggling without the fiscal support of her former millionaire spouse.
What are the pecuniary lessons here? 1. Don't use your career to do favors, unless you think those favors can be substantially returned to you, especially for people who have demonstrated irresponsibility. 2. Don't buy a home unless you are pretty certain it will accrue in value, or you intend to pass it down as generational wealth. Buying a home in most markets is not a great short term investment. 3. Don't be totally dependent on a spouse or lover for your financial well-being. 4. Don't borrow money for extremely risking investments, which includes films, albums, etc. Investors in these types of ventures need to understand that the risk of losing all their capital is high, so such monies are not loans. This type of funding is more akin to gambling. Lisa could not have made this clear to Keith, because he's still expecting his money back!
Hopefully, the tremendous success of the 'Real Housewives' series will create fresh finacial opportunities for all these women. It seems as though NeNe, Kim, Lisa and Sheree made relationship choices that left them totally dependent on their men. Perhaps this reliance prevented them from honing their own money management skills. But the public exposure of their difficulties, combined with the windfall of this show, may give 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' both the opportunity and incentive to learn and grow.
I bet they can all become true divas of finance very soon by combining business initiative with sensible spending habits. I would rather be an independent diva than a pampered, clueless trophy wife any day.
Cokebabe got some nice gams... NICE! but ummmmyea Ed's ass is off the chian...I agree with Monroe and Whatwhatwhat...The boys got it going on. And for all these men saying she's a gold digger..some of you men are wack. The MAN of the house is technically suppose to be the provider so when they lose the house,,that maeans he wasn't takin care of his fu-cking responsibilities. MEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR WOMAN....
The main reason they added Kandi is because she is the only one who actually has some money and is still making money. Hell, she bought the house she lives in now when she was only 19 years old. The rest of them are just actresses making money by being on the show. Bravo is probably fronting some money to them so that they can keep up appearances. I do feel for Ed though because an athlete's career only continues when they are healthy. After they tear something up, they drop you like a dirty diaper. Hopefully he can get into broadcasting.
I love this show so real off the hook!
Ladies take notes: Just because your man is bringing home the bacon does not mean it will last long......Repo dude like outside! Locks on the damn door.....Damn!
I like real folks who say "Yea we have everything but I'm doing this and doing that just in case things stop or slow down I still have a back up".....Kandi seems to be doing it Ne Ne jealous!
Lisa is so much like me when it comes to business and family I love it......
I'm sorry Kim is the funniest and crazy she really make the show interesting...
NeNe is just loud and childish
this ole weak aZZ nicca stole money from the falcons. his aZZ came in talking all that trash about how he's better than Ray Lewis and this nicca might a played in a total of 10 games while he was here in the A. with that said i can believe that the house went into foreclosure because he's a fake as nicca!!!!! what a bum!!!
Who needs a 10 bedroom house and a dozen of bathrooms just to be consider the it couple so stupid!
I don't need people around me for what I have smiling and being fake then when I loose it all they head for the hills......Please!
A modest nice size house in ATL goes for not that much money and they are usually really big in size and space.
All that flashy million dollar ballin'status just goes to show how broke you will be in a year or two.....
Dag mto yall called them the broke housewives of atl lmao. I don't think Ed is on the DL. If so, he hides it really well! But I KNOW that damn T.O. is gay & can't nobody tell me otherwise! As 4 these 2 they ought 2 have better sense than 2 not pay 4 their house cash. Jus like blk folk. Yet they're all on tv like "we got it like that". Throwin parties & ish every 5 minutes SMH.
@alluah your right bruh...we do tend to want more than we can actually afford...but why does mto like to shine the spotlight on BLACKS when we are not doing well...if this woman some how came up on ten million dollars...mto and crew wouldnt have said sh!t...but since this BLACK family "might be" losing their home ridicule them...fred take that white mans shaft from your anus and at least try loving yourself punk ass mofo...
Not good- But really, why would a family that size NEED 1 million sqr ft. of home? Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Why would Ed NEED a job, if he's injured he should still be getting a check from the NFL. Since Lisa is "all about money" she should have enough stacked up to hold it down.
What about the scores of men that listen to Tom Leykis and Michael Baisden--do you think that those forums groom MEN to be liars, CHEATERS and merely interested in SEX and not COMMITMENT?
TELL IT! @swtchocolatykizz They actually could be a learning tool for men and women...if either of them were actually "Quality" men. LOL- you hit that one on the head!
@ swtchocolatykizz,
I'm glad 2 know U're one of the few sisters who actually thinks 4 herself, but keep in mind that my comments R just my opinions on how I percieve not just this show, but any so called "reality" show which tends 2 portray us in an exploitative manner. I never listened 2 Tom Leykis, but as 4 Michael Baisden, he's an [EXPLETIVE] tool himself, never cared 2 much 4 his show, I really can't speak on those men being "groomed" 2 be the liars & cheaters that their petty little egos pump them up 2 be.
Some of yall on here don't need to laugh or pick cause Most of you on here are broke just like them and I'm quite sure yall ain't paying rent and homes are going in forecloser too"
Sh!t it's not like you bitches have jobs cause most of yall live on MTO ALL PHUCKIN DAY LOL!!!!
I won't say no names!!!
Seems like there is a curse on the show. First DeShawn gets fired from the show, NeNe's house was really a rental and husband was rumored to have financial issues, and then Sheree gets foreclosed on, Kim loses Big Poppa and now Lisa. Like Keith Sweat used to say "something, something, something, something just ain't right"!
They'll be divorced soon. Lisa always chasin some nigg@ wit money. She was married and had kids by Kieth Sweat. Then she got with Ed and he was making millions in the NFL, he's much younger than her, and she married Ed after only knowing and dating him for short period of time. She not in love wit that nigg@ he just a paycheck. Or at least WAS a paycheck. And btw, just cuz you own your own business dont make it profitable or make you a millionaire. Plenty ppl own they own businesses and are broke as sh!t
LMAO @ Monroe...now that was funny as hell and true to the bone!
But as others stated....MTO lied about NeNe being broke and here we go again.
Ed and Lisa won't be peddlin' on any street corners anytime soon. But as usual the media is all up in their business interpreting the wrong info.
And I'm sorry but Ed's azz is massive alright...way too massive for me...his azz is almost as big as mine and I'm a female, I like a nice azz on a man but his shyt look stank for real...not cute at all...ICK.
Salome I totally agree. DeShawn was the only one of those women who had any kind of sophistication and class. NeNe...well she is just loud and ghetto and she is not classy at all. Sheree tries to act classy but we've seen that she can be ghetto as hell. Sophisticated women don't curse and disrupt a whole restaurant as in the last episode. The new girl I like but she ghetto. Kim is white ghetto. Lisa has quite the past and we saw on the reunion show that she ghetto as hell too. DeShawn is the ONLY one who obviously had home training. Eric Snow got them out of that ghetto crap.
FIRST OF ALL THEY NEED TO RE-CAST THE MEMBERS ON THIS SHOW BECAUSE KIM, KANDI & SHEREE ARE NOT MARRIED. THE MAJORITY OF THIS GROUP IS BROKE AND THEY ARE BEING PORTRAYED AS THESE GLAMOROUS BALLER TYPE WOMEN WHEN IN REALITY I HAVE MORE MONEY THEN THEM! THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW WHOSE REALLY HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, OR WHO WAS EVICTED FROM THEIR HOMES SO STOP FRONTING. THESE LADIES ARE NOT THE REAL DEAL! IT'S TIME TO FIND SOME NBA PLAYERS WIVES FROM ATL OR SOMETHING.
Her husband DOESN'T HAVE A JOB!!! And they are talking about having another baby...
LUV U BOOS BUT HWOA FINANCIAL REALITY CHECK Lisa lost her home and she's a Real Estate agent.
NeNe claim she doesn't wear cheap clothes and then got caught price haggling in a discount outlet.
Sheree is so self evolved she didn't know the mortgage wasn't being paid.
Kim...the worst of the bunch. She admitted the first season that Big Papa supports her whole lifestyle...WTF?
And Kandi...good luck trying to stay afloat after AJ pays for 6 kids. Can't squeeze blood from a turnip sweetie...
LOL @ gems doll one and others these comments are a fool...and to the person who said that just because a person owns a business that dosent mean they are rich is absoluetly right!...i own some rental properties and buy and sell real estate but still have a job....people i dont know if this story is true...but fact is live within your means...you can avoid such situations by doing so....
DeShawn do not listen to nobody! She was very boring on the show sorry yall she was! All that I got this and I got that! Please!
What class? Yes, she did not curse and act all wild out but this woman was not really about her business....That charity thing she had was a mess...What I would of did was recognize the fact that I'm new to this and what would I could of done to make it a hit.......
Yes we all know you are Eric Snow wife ok we got it and..........
Crickets**********Flying outside in the same heat........lol
Just a question that plagues me when I hear about seemingly rich people losing homes & cars...... Why don't use PAY CASH for the $hit while you have the money? Stop the mortgage & leasing BS & pay for it! That way if your career slows down or ends, you'll at least OWN your home and/or cars. I'm just saying.... Geeez!!!
They making ATLiens look like posers...real talk...they need to re-cast that dayum show...fake ballers...smdh..."it ain't trick'n if ya got it"...LOL...wasting money on selling costume jewelry and shyt...Ed clingy horny ass need to get a real job...that's why Lisa didn't want a baby...she already know...
The reason they don't drop cash like that on houses and cars is b/c they don't get it upfront like that. If a dude in the NFL gets a contract say for $6M over 2 years, after taxes its really about $3.6M over 2 years which is about $1.8M a year, or $150K a month. So you can't drop $2M cash like that. You don't have it. So they get mortgages and laons etc
Doubt they are broke but they are not as "rich" as they where im sure.
My thing is....if you make or made millions why not just pay for the home in full? And the thing that really kills me is the LEASING OF CARS...WTF? if a car is 50,000 and you "ballin" why are u leasing or renting...why not just PAY FOR IT!?
Anyways MTO i see yall love bashing our black folks any time u can....even though they are putting themselves out there for the public to judge...but still.....i like Kandi...she real and seems to be pretty smart with that money....
All these ATL housewives be livin off a dudes money, EXCEPT Kandi. That's why she gone be better off than the rest of them. Buyin shyt they can't afford and livin above they means. In a job interview once, the interviewer told me that "Atlanta has a lot of FLASH, but NO CASH". And she was exactly right. Most of these cats out here are frontin and just are as broke as my ass. Ppl need to quit tryin to be somethin they aint, and quit tryin to keep up with the "jones's". That's my blog and I'm out. Twitter me you Bytches!
Atlanta has some real "Housewives"...I mean some real "Bettys"...that got paper...problem with that is...it's considered to be lowclass to be all out talking about how long your paper is...so none of the "Real Real Housewives" of Atlanta want to be associated with that type of bufoonery...I knew this show was a bust from the jump...because people who really have money don't advertise...they're afraid you'll ask for some...LOL...I wish they would re-cast...because ATL has so much more to offer...they need to take the show in a positive direction...showcase "real millionaires"...doing good...
You know it's kinda messed up that MTO dont get facts before they they start spreading rumors. Ed and Lisa are just fine financially. They are NOT in foreclosure and definately not broke! So MTO your resources are wacked! Ed might be injured but he is not broke and lisa is not broke either so speak facts not unverified rumors. MTO are haters! lol.....
OfficialElite.....wtf does me not knowing about leasing cars have anythign to do with me driving?? WTF? y ou must be one of the LIVING BEYOUND THEY MEANS NEGROS..because the post wasnt about you...but you just got real touchy there....did i hit a nerve or something....lol...p.s. i own my car...no need to lease......again...wtf does that have to do with me driving?.
boy i tell ya folks be trying so hard to snap...and fall flat....smh
DOLL11-ONE Flag post Someone very wise once said to me....why argue with a gay man..what can you possibly say to someone thats sucking dick & funky balls along with taking dick up his azz .....what can anyone possibly say to offend them....nothing... therefore, I will hold my comment
DEAD. Just effing DEAD. Doll 1 please go directly to Time out...at least until I catch my breath.
But on this site, you have to put 'them' in their place every once in a while...main ones talking about BM/BW relations, lol
The question is...do they have ENOUGH tucked away until he gets a job other than playing football?...Becoz from the way things look..once they start shuffling a player around like a deck of cards?..It's over!...He'd better start brushing up on his articulation,becuz the best place to end up is "Behind The Desk!"...He does NOT know how to speak in Business Meetings, that has been established.They live a leel extravagant for him to be on IR!..Bowlin Alleys n thangz.
Dre7Guevara, I really appreciate what you had to say. My question to other people that think this is amusing is, could it be that Lisa and Ed decided that they weren't going to continue paying for something that had significantly decreased in value, put aside their money, and paid cash for something even more grand, whereby giving the banks the "finger" (who have been getting over on us all, might I add) and let the property go or short sell? They might have purchased it in the name of their LLC even. Who knows, perhaps they are even off the hook in terms of credit and deficiency.
Perhaps they'll file bankruptcy, whereby giving themselves a ticket out of financial debt. People with money often times hire money managers to tell them just what to do to get out of the jambs the "common folk" face. So while you are all laughing, it probably hasn't occurred to you that these people might have a mortgage free home somewhere and a safe deposit box full of CASH. Keep laughing, but I know...I watch the smart while folks get over - think they haven't as well?!
Her hubsand is VERY PUSHY about kids. She is A LOT older than him and just from body language she doesn't want them. I don't think he has a deal so that should be a reason for not jumping into having kids. She stays in a LOT of mess, with the girls. I thought this would be a different season, because I didn't follow the last season because it was lame. I saw one episode and never watched again, caught up with reruns. They need to do SOMETHING with themselves!
This has nothing to do with a recession and I don't feel bad for people puttin' on when they don't have ish. It seems like they did casting for this and all the broke bitchez came out. She is the third one. First, that big mouth azz NeNe, next the one named Sheree and now this broke one. Please, never watched, never will, they make me sick. Take note all you whores out there trying to live off a man, get your own ish!
Im not at all surprised, the problem will 90% of black people is that they always want to prove that they are better than other black people when in reality Chicken George makes more money than they do..
Thank you real house slaves of atlanta for setting black people back 400 years...
How dumb do you hoes have to be to stoop this low? I hope that you hookers realise that you are TOKENS that were too old and dried up to land a spot on Flavor Of Love.
Bottom line is that these women are tokens..rename the show to "[EXPLETIVE] cant do [EXPLETIVE] but play ball and poorly invest"
You're right MTO who didn't see this coming? Y'all remember when she didn't want to "downgrade" to the other house on her last season? Should have downgraded and did another season to keep that money flowing regardless of the amount[EXPLETIVE] what other people think and trying to meet a status quo...how they view you will not pay your bills!!
