Pretty juicy story. Homeowners association foreclosed and sold a
soldier's house to an "investor" Jad Aboul-Jidin for $3,200.

The real culprit seems to be the soldier's wife, who was "depressed",
did not pay dues and was ignoring mail. Supposedly the HOA checked
with DoD and received a negative reply about his deployment
status. That is, if we believe their version fo events.

Somehow by sheer accident, the house worth $300k was sold
onlyt for $3,200.

Yahbut - there is a law that says you cannot foreclose on the home of an
active-duty soldier, which the husband certainly was. They are working
to reverse the foreclosure, and that will probably happen. Legal costs
are somewhat defrayed by contributions.
