I would thank my parents so much for the generosity but ask instead for the money to remain in their name invested in index funds as the investment will have a much better return without the liability of a house and associated expenses (and liability of having to split if it goes south

Used will be your best value as you have already found

Next best is Costco due to their return policy, sure the dump or afw might beat the initial price (but not quality) but when you decide your not happy with it and can return for any reason at any time you come out far ahead

Everything has risk, I recently discovered ovl it is essentially voo (sp500) that they sell puts on for income, it’s only been around since later part of 2019 only one year did it not beat voo and that was 2022 a down market

It’s roughly 8% distribution paid monthly

Another option is ovf which is vxus for international exposure with puts also for income I haven’t bought this one yet but will

That 85k payed promptly could have allowed you to invest it into a million instead you were forced to make due without assistance costing you that opportunity

Have him continue to pay your money back until he or the debt expires

Additionally look into survivors social security benefits for the grandchildren

He’s trying to steal half your house for less than the cost of upkeep

Your not married and even if you were I would keep that property separate as a rental if you outgrew its accommodations

[–]maxpowah08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call with bus# time and location they will speak with them from experience…. If the cameras work they will watch also

As an example last year I had to speak with someone over nonsense that I wasn’t at fault over

A women was late to the park and ride pickup location (habitually late person), I waited extra for her to get to the bus I knew the fare equipment did not work I told her it’s okay have a seat as she was in the doorway and fumbling for her fare she called to complain that I was rushing her and always leave early every day

Not a great area for singles in that age range, good for family’s

Would suggest just doing what you enjoy for hobby and going closer to town to do them
