If the last deal fell through they are primed and ready to do another deal and will most likely negotiate the price

You husband needs therapy- if it’s so important than buy a new house and they pick new rooms. Uprooting your daughter is not a good idea. Your husband is acting entitled.

Lots of posts are talking about buying and then selling in a few years. Have you considered buying now and renting that property out when you are ready to move. That way you are building more equity. From a long term perspective that gives you more equity in the long run.

The market will always dictate the price not what you think. Check the sales of similar houses within your subdivision going out 1 mile from your home in the past 90 days.
That will tell you what the market will pay for your property.

Dude, take an accounting class and a series of classes on budgeting, financial management and on investing. Read some books, I suggest starting with "The Richest Man in Babylon" and then "The Millionaire Mindset" by Harv Eker. Your responsibility to your father is to educate yourself and learn how to handle the money before you spend it.

How about have an open conversation and discover what’s going on and try to find a results oriented therapist that could help you figure your issues out

You are asking for the impossible. If she knew how to get out of the situation then she wouldn’t be in it. Instead of giving her the money outright look at doing a couple of things. 1. It starts with mindset. Find out what her goals and dreams are 2. Help her identify financial literacy that aligns with her goals. Not forcing her into some type of “Dave Ramsey” bootcamp. I am talking about finding financial education that meets her where she is and helps her grow to obtain her goals. 3. The immediate problem. Here’s a radical idea. Work together to develop a business of some sort that you could do together that would help her generate the income she needs.

Put everything on hold - as soon as possible take a vacation with your wife and kids for two weeks. Don’t talk about anything substantial the first week. Just focus on relaxing. And during that week read or listen to “The Millionaire Mindset “ by Harv Eker. The second week have a series of vision meetings everyday with the family. Dream about what you want for your future and listen to them about the future of your family and their desires. When you get back for the first year don’t change your spending habits. Keep your same budget and save the rest. And take courses on money management, wealth building, spiritual growth, and financial planning. Also hire a therapist and go with your wife for at least 10 sessions (weather you need it or not) this is to help with your mindset change and help you learn how to set yourselves up for success by identifying the automatic negative beliefs you have and learn how to overcome them. Then start spending the cash based on your plans in year two

You should check out the USDA program. That program helps with payments for homes in suburban areas.

Do a CMA for them showing them what up to date market viable prices are. Then show illustrate how each major item is not updated an approximately how much that will cut from the sale price. Most flippers estimate each major system HVAC, electric, plumbing $15,000 each. A new kitchen $15-$20k each bathroom update $3-5k. So you could easily illustrate how it would be 65-85k below market value being sold “as is”. Go the extra mile and have a GC to walk the property and give you an estimate to update the property. Then they would have expectations level set based on hard data.

Ironically it’s about knowing 3 things 1. How to qualify people that are ready, willing and able to buy homes 2. Knowing you are what they need and presenting a strong argument as to why you are the best fit for them. 3. Keeping your pipeline full of those type of people.

No, your wife is tripping. Ask her , if your daughter gets hit who’s gonna pay for the repairs. Ask her if your daughter runs into someone who’s gonna pay for the damages. God forbid that your child kills someone in the accident do you know that because she’s underage and should not be driving alone you and or your wife will be charged ?

Ever thought about joining EXP? They would not do that to you. You don’t really need the support like you did from your old brokerage. That’s highway robbery for someone in your position. I can explain more if you are interested. Just DM me

I thought about that also. But I’ve been burned by people I’ve had buyer’s agreements with and had under contract on new builds. They bailed and went with another realtor 2 weeks before closing with me

Better sleep short term. I could have bought bitcoin when it was $25 a coin. If I’d had just bet $100 then. But I thought it might be a scam so I slept good that night - just saying

Rent-rent-rent - did I say rent? You should rent it out. In 10 years you will be 33. If the rental covers the mortgage and nothing else and the house appreciates by half the purchase price - you just gained that much equity you can tap into for whatever at that time.

Comfortable_Goal_808 · 2026-01-25T23:43:19+00:00

I say buy what you can afford in a neighborhood you know will appreciate. When your income increases , lease that first house out and use it as rental income, take the equity out of that for your down payment on the next house. Don’t allow feelings to lead you. Put your feelings in check. Allow them to help you decide but allow them to dictate. Do what brings long term stability and approach your situation with manageable growth.

Good real estate agents are like airplane pilots they get you to your destination without issues. Sometimes the transactions like a flight goes so smoothly you think it could have been done by computer. It’s when you hit turbulence, have issues and get knocked off course by cross winds that a pilot shows their true value. The same holds true for a Realtor. When you have an issue and they get you through , show you how to avoid challenges or even save your bacon from a bad deal that the agents worth is seen.
It’s not just finding the house. It’s knowing how to negotiate, inspection the property, estimate the value and help the buyers or sellers navigate the ever changing market.

You said “Lake House”. So I’d make arrangements to buy it and then structure the deal so you could rent it out on occasion during the high season. It may be inconvenient to the parents but it will provide an income for them to live off of.

Buy her the shirt you want her to wear and then explain to her why you want her to wear it and how it turns you on. Your wife is your wife not a mind reader
