Because the car is worth WAY more than what is owed on it. Even if you didn't have the $2,000 cash, you'd accept it and sell it and keep the difference. Same thing with a house. There's a boatload of equity in that house. If she sells it, she can buy a very nice house.

There is nothing abnormal or unsustainable about 50% of your income going to a house payment in the Bay Area. That's just our reality, we have higher incomes, but much higher housing prices, the extra income goes to cover our housing costs. I don't know what the caller does for a living, but no matter what it is she very likely can't make the same amount of money doing it somewhere more affordable. Depending on what her property taxes are (and whether they really are going to get socked with a $30-$40K gift tax), she may well be better off making $43K in Santa Cruz than, say $33K in Fresno or Phoenix. No way will she be able to make it renting in that area.

Michael she should stop making all payments and just pray to Jesus. That should help prevent the bank from foreclosing on the house. Also make sure to include in the prayer for the bank to forgive the loan since they can’t afford it. Then they should be all set.

I hope she follows his advice, gets the amended return filed, then gets "her" house on the market and gets it sold. If she sells it for a good price, she and her father will have an opportunity to start over. I'd actually recommend that they move somewhere where it's way cheaper to live. If they end up with $300,000 from the house sale, they could buy another house for cash in some parts of the country and have $200,000 left over. Then with her job, her dad's survivor benefits, and (soon) his social security, they could make it work, without him having to rejoin the work force.

A 1200 sqft house is NOT tiny. My first rental house was a 900 sqft 3 bedroom one bath house. Shortly after I moved into it, one of my friends bought a house (for cash) nearby. It was a 700 sqft one-bedroom. He picked it up at a lien sale for 10,000 and put another 10k or so into it to fix it up.

Do not sell it! Dave's suggestion is wrong this time. You long-term payment for renting will be much higher. You dad should start to work to make more, and things will be better if you own the house because your income will be higher and higher. Mortgage payment with starts with close to 50% of income in California is normal, which is not understandable to non-Californians.

How about turning it into a rental property? Why is this not even discussed? They have good equity the rent should cover the mortgage surely. Let it out and then rent somewhere cheaper. Selling a house is an expensive thing to do when here real estate agents charge 4 percent. Also selling a property when you have no money to do the most basic things to present it for sale is not such a great idea.
@amandawalker11965 жыл бұрын
Good question but what I’m thinking is that say they rented it out, the income they have from it will probably be equal to the rent the end up paying elsewhere so it’s kind of pointless. What they could do it rent it out and move out of state (if she’s able to considering the children involved)

Fear and the trauma from losing her mother is the only issue at the moment. Once her and the father get a clear head, they should sell the home. The $200k profit will put them in a better position. They could put down on another home or rent an apartment. This will buy them some time to recover. The dad can eventually get a job and she could probably find a better job. Fear is their obstacle. Not a lack of money

I like listening to Dave Ramsey, but I believe he may have misstated potential issues with the gift tax, and income tax if they sell the house. The daughter will get a 250k exclusion and even though the house value was not “stepped up”, the gain from the parents basis value could be under the $250k. He’s correct that they did it incorrectly, but they probably did it thinking they were sheltering the house in case the mother went on Medicaid (which, if under five years, would not have helped). Also, some mortgages allow transfers to relatives. But the dad definitely needs to get a full time job.
