Husband and I are separating, but the house needs a new roof I’m not sure what to do here. I own a house that’s worth around 650k. We have an inground pool that we put in that we still owe around 90k. We were just informed that we are going to need to put a new roof on the house and got a quote for between 25 and 30,000.. My issue is my husband is a train wreck financially. It’s pretty much the entire rea…

Should I try to buy a house or just invest more and rent? I’m about to turn 23 and live in a decently expensive place, right now if I wanted to buy a house in the area I want to live it would be ~500k and I wouldn’t want to buy a place 45 mins away just for a cheaper house. My rent is ~$1000 ($2900 split 3 ways). If I were to buy a house I wouldn’t want to put less than 15-20% down, and would ideally h…

8th House: Inheritance & Goods Of The Dead My husband lost his mother, a little more than a week ago. I am watching him go through her things.  She has very little as she’s been in assisted living for fifteen years or so. It follows that what she has left is/was of great importance to her, though this may be imagined. I say Source

Buying a house scares me My wife and I are starting the home buying process. We are looking for a modest home under 400k. We do not want kids so it doesn’t have to be much. I know we can afford the house as we keep ourselves on a strict budget with a lot of our money going to savings and retirement. I’ve been having second thoughts though because if we buy a house we wi…

Being bought out of a house – what next? My ex-fiancé and I owned a house and he broke up with me 2 months ago. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to afford the house on my own so he’s bought me out. Paperwork’s been signed and everything’s supposed to be done today. My question is: will that be considered a house sale and will I (we?) have to pay taxes on it when it comes time to file our…

The house has no equity If…

Are there tax considerations we need to think about? TIA for advice submitted by /u/RudeBusinessMcCoy

If I am not attending school the funds are inaccessible until I am 55. I was recently accepted into medical school and I have around $100k…

Would it be stupid to stop ALL retirement savings to pay my house off in 5 years? I ran an online calculator and if I pay an extra $2,000 per month on my mortgage, I could have my house paid off in 4 years and 7 months. It would save me $136,000 in interest. To do so, I would have to stop all contributions to all of my other savings accounts as I currently save $2k/month. I have about $100k in retirement accounts and a 6-mon…
