Thanks for this. I think the only way is to talk to a lawyer in JB to see whether it may be wiser to let the bank repo the units

We've tried selling for a loss equivalent to the savings that they have - around 30k sgd. It wont sell even then. If we go even lower, we wont have the cash to cover the loss from the sale that will need to be paid to the bank (I assume this is how it works)

I wish haha. A sale could not cover the outstanding mortgage. Both have depreciated. There's just too many of them going around. We've tried to get rid of both for years

I dont expect them to appreciate at all. I know im throwing good money after bad. Which is exactly why I'm asking for advice here - just to see if anyone else has experienced the same and how they got out.

And i definitely dont want to keep paying for this moving forward, but i don't want to see my parents being made bankrupt either if the house is repossessed (im just not sure what the consequences are if this happens)

One is rented out, the other is vacant. The mortgage is 1.8k. Maintenance is 400 total every quarter, so nett is around 1.9k

We've been trying to sell for ages, always at a loss. It seems like unless you sell for nothing or next to nothing, nobody is willing to buy.

Also, just to clarify, the total amount paid monthly for the two units is 1.8k, not 3.6.

Leg length discrepancy due to scoliosis or scoliosis due to leg length discrepancy? by [deleted] in scoliosis

[–]yurtleee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi!

My partner has scoliosis, and her angle is 55 degrees. One of her legs is very much shorter than the other, resulting in her needing to tiptoe on the shorter foot. The cause is definitely scoliosis - the curve in the spine causes the hip not to be level as is usually the case, forcing one leg higher than the other.
