I just ate an Oreo chipwich at TGIF. Hi Andie! -- nm - oblique Jul 29, 16:40
Got through my interview with my estate planner...I really do like her. One question I wasn't ready for... - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 16:34 5
- :D that is so sweet ... and it's something the person I met with never mentioned ... :( -- nm - JenBro Jul 29, 16:40
- Send Schatzee to Kare!!! Can't get better than that. -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:35 3
  - hee. and i would never be able to ask for a cuter goddog. ;) -- nm - kare Jul 29, 16:37 2
    - The follow-up, after determining the amount of her "inheritance" was what would happen to any excess funds...... - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 16:39
    - I think you are Dog Mother to ST dogs, and David and Kim should be Cat God Parents. -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:38
Awww, one day off from the Mets/Natinals pitching matchup be Dickey vs. Wang. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 16:27 2

  - And it's one week before I'm at Citi Field! Yay! -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 16:33
i have a question that highlights how stupid i am. i don't know how to research and you guys are smart. it's about mortgages. - kare Jul 29, 16:15 38
- aren't you planning on paying out the loan for the first house off the selling price for that house? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 29, 16:40 6
  - Because of the housing bubble and crash, this is not possible in many parts of the country now. -- nm - psilotum Jul 29, 16:45 1
    - real estate agents is a difficult business now - Danedukenuuk Jul 29, 16:46
  - She's 50k under water on her first house. -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:42 3
    - *hypothetically* 50k. ;) -- nm - kare Jul 29, 16:43 2
      - Here is a GREAT tool to find out. -- (link) - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:45
      - well if the next house in undefunded (have free value) - Danedukenuuk Jul 29, 16:44

  - yes, or looking to carry some of it. re: your IM - I wish! -- nm - kare Jul 29, 16:22
- If there was I doubt there is now. It's really rigid at the moment. No bank wants to take a risk on default and losing money -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:17 27
  - Could you rent out your house, and then put the 40k toward a new one? -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:18 26
    - that was the original plan but now that i'm not working consistently (and might not be for another year or so) - kare Jul 29, 16:20 25
      - Rent the old house and then rent a new house for y'all. -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 16:28 9
        
        hmmm. -- nm - kare Jul 29, 16:29 8
        
        It would have a fair number of perks. Less maintenance, ability to make a change when needed... -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 16:31 7
        
        just looked at prices where we (well esp. i) would like to move and... damn. very high. -- nm - kare Jul 29, 16:35
        
        Does she still get to keep the mortgage deduction on her house if she isn't living in it? -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:33 5
        
        No, it has to be your primary residence. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 16:35 3
        
        so i guess the answer is: patience, grasshopper. sigh. -- nm - kare Jul 29, 16:37 1
        
        This! - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 16:44
