(My husband is an administrator for city of LA dept. of aging and these departments have amazing programs). In the meantime, take deep breaths, remember that you live in one of the loveliest places on earth, and hope for the best... Someday I hope we can have a cup of coffee so I can tell you how closely your life (especially when it comes to husbands) parallels my own!

With business ventures (real estate, etc.), there is always bound to be an incredible amount of stress, and we have been down that road as well. Somehow though, things will pan out. I truly believe that. Even though you had a dream that you were both walking different paths in terms of this particular goal, it's quite possible that seeing things from different views is the best thing that could happen, so as to give you both better judgement (or a different perspective) with the decisions that need to be made, to make the best possible real estate decision. ;) *Hugs* Thank goodness you both know how to support each other during stressful times like this.

They have done quite well with it, if that helps. I would suggest you become quite friendly with your local lumberyard/home improvement MegaCorp Retailer so that you can convince them to provide you with contractor referrals. And remember to breathe . . . ; ) We have friends who do this for a living — buy bits of land with mobile homes or shacks, fix them up, rent them out and/or sell them off.

This is beautifully written you know, and how generous of you to lay it all out for us all to read. Maybe there is another deal coming down the path that will help him see this one wasn't the right one? This can't have been it, if numbers 1-10 are any indication of how things would have been around the house. He's not sleeping now, but something tells me there would have been like, a dead Angela if he'd gone through with it sans your support, then I would have been mad at him too (I know, I know, this isn't about me). His idea IS sound, and it does make sense, and it could take care of the debt problem. That particular one had too many caveats that compromised ye olde homestead, and hopefully he finds his sign from the universe it was the right thing to do (today or tomorrow would be best).
