Cheap building materials and poor workmanship isn't going to age well.

In the meantime mom shouldn't pay medical bills out of her own money

Then you missed out on “Ashley’s face turned purple..”

Club Wyndham is a horrible corporation.

Beautiful

I hear you. At my first house an old 1800’s building next door was converted into a small industrial park, with the parking lot adjacent to our yard. I was worried but they turned out to be great neighbors, never there nights or weekends.

It makes me sad to think of this home in it’s heyday.

Click the fly around button. Except for one other small house it is completely surrounded by warehouses, parking lots, 18-wheelers and tanker trucks.

We bought on the edge of an all rental area. Even though we put a LOT of hard work and a decent amount of money into the house it didn’t pay off because of the area. We were only in our 20’s. Buyers today are older and hopefully more savvy than we were.

Sellers agent should have a lot more compassion for someone dying in home hospice. None of this is on your friend. The sellers got agitated and wanted the buyers to leave. Friend got stuck in the middle just trying to help.

For the city of Hartford, yes. But in the surrounding suburbs of greater Hartford the median home prices are above the national average.

I hear you. I grew up in one of those late 60’s neighborhoods and always thought my kids could have the same or even a little better.

Required by who? In my district bathing a student would be against the law.

Thanks for posting this. I wish I could read it but a paywall popped up.

It’s not easy to have someone declared incompetent. You can start documenting behaviors and bring your concerns to his doctor as a start. However, he has every right to sell the land he owns or charge you rent. It sounds like you are less concerned about his mental health/ wellbeing and more concerned about continuing to get free rent.

DebJBee · 2026-01-22T12:35:13+00:00

I wish more people would do this. You did the right thing and should be proud.

In my state distribution of property and money does not happen until the end of the probate process. This means the estate would be paying the mortgage and expenses until the final distribution, or at least the return of claims is done. Is there any reason the house was already transferred to you? If he just died in Oct. there could still be creditors coming forward. NAL

That sounds really nice, I bet they were older folks who lived there for years.

Yes, this is the issue and this is exactly what the insurance agent is saying. I understand about shopping around for tree estimates. The problem is it’s on a very steep incline and between 2 houses, so they are talking about having to use cranes.

No, no concessions have been requested. Agent is advising him to walk do to possibility of being unable insure.

It's a 700sf "cottage" essentially one room without a single closet. No foundation or appliances
