This is actually a few month old picture, and the car has NOT moved since. House, other car(s), kiddo, and a few other things have gotten in the way, now I’m like 2 projects away from literally just swapping the starter on this so I can drive it!

The most unfortunate of feels, I spent literally brand new car or 400whp MR2 monies on the house...

Fuckin welcome to my world. The Willys will probably turn 70 years old before it’s back on the road.

Rental house, costs and losses will be about $20,000 the last few years. I’ll be so glad after closing Friday. Then I can focus on my cars and house.

As in you own a rental house correct? What, if you dont mind me asking, did you make/lose on rent? I may be moving for work soon and planned on renting this house out

I do not welcome myself into this world, nope. No sir. And I feel your pain. I literally have a starter AND full standalone ECU waiting to go in the car in the garage, but other projects keep me from getting it done.

I lost out on it. I bought in 08 right before the crash and then family rented it. I don’t know what I’d actually do different looking back as I have a nicer house now.

Ah, gotcha. That’s a rough spell but glad you got through it. Short sales and foreclosures suck to go through.

I was seriously considering a short sale. I was a few days away from either giving up & calling the bank or dumping time & money into it myself to get it ready for the market. This way I just pay out and let someone else take care of it. They are paying cash, so unlike me they won’t have a $750/ month payment which would have crippled me in a few months.
Here is the full story of interested. http://oppositelock.kinja.com/what-does-oppositelock-know-about-short-sales-i-need-t-1794352890 You have to follow the link in there but I consider myself pretty luck to be getting out of this without totally screwing up my credit.
As a short answer, I wouldn’t rent a house I didn’t already have paid off, and never to family again. Being burned once by the rental process I won’t do it again.

I feel you man, I’ve literally dumped 27k into this place in 6 months. Roof, A/C, tons of water damage repair, 3 straight weeks of cleaning absolute filth from every surface, 2 more weeks of drywall repair and paint, and it still needs things here and there. For you, if you can walk away happy or at least sane, take that path. and good luck to you.

I counted about 20 grand including the pay off and things here and there. Good luck to you because you are still dealing with it.
I think you’ve got it worse than I did.
This was my project car I bought in ‘06 I think. And 2 days later the head gasket blew out. I dumped some money into it for a few years and now it’s been sitting for about 9.

Well, house should be worth more than I’ve got into it, so I’m counting positive equity, plus i need a place to live, and this is literally $1k cheaper than rent, add on the loan we got for roof/AC, and we’re still coming out on top by $700. I hate the DC metro area...
