      @Bertuzz84 Год назад +1

      Yeah i never understood why they always want to sell the house and rent. I mean they obviously come from a place where incomes are high and house prices are low. So being priced out of the market isn't even on their radar. And on top of that, going back and forth between buying and renting is a huge money waste. It costs way more than being behind a few mortgage payments.
      Myself i'm living comfortable in a house that's got under a 50% debt ratio, and that i would be priced out of buying today. Because the average house price is 11 year salaries where i live.

    • @econocarr

      He still might keep it. Dave gave him options to catch up but if his life is unstable worst case scenario he pays half the house and the bank repossess it anyway next time around and you are left with nothing. I wonder if his driving expensive car or has any other debts that may hinder the plan to keep house. We needed more details.

    • @AndroidDigest
      @AndroidDigest 11 месяцев назад +1

      He bought it less than a year ago. He can sell it, make some money, save up more money and get in a better financial situation. He gave him multiple options, but it's clear that there are cheaper rents out there. I ran into one bedroom apartment for like $500 just a few years ago. Yes it was small, like 500 square feet. It was in a decent part of St Louis. Not the most beautiful neighborhood but not the worst. There's plenty of lowering areas he could rent from and save some money if he really wanted to. It's clear he's in a desperate situation though and he can always save up and get another house

    There is another option to get a cash buyer for your property that can buy and close in 2-3 weeks. That way you can sell your property even before it gets to the foreclosure stage.
    Recently my mentor Smarty shared a story about a woman from PA who was just 1 week away from her property taken away from the bank.
    She saw the ad from Smarty and called her who in turn got her a Cash plus deal where the cash buyer not only purchased the property at the fair market price but also fixed it and resold and shared the upside with her. Do not let the banks take away your property, equity, credit rating, your self esteem and your peace of mind.
