Hi Gelf,
I guess you are right, but didn’t bury my head in the sand, 3 of the properties were on the market for nearly a year. Perhaps should have got on here sooner to get some of the wonderful advice that this forum and its members have given to me.
Cheers

Another very good idea from you Elka. I would have just tried to get my debt down on my home (if that was the last to go) however you have now given me further information which will be valuable in the times ahead. 1 sold in Homebush Bay but at a $50K loss. The 2nd one hopefully will give me something to work with as you…[Read more]

Thanks Lifexperience

Sounds good positive advice I will move on it straight away and let you know how it is received.

So after the 1 year period – I would imagine my role would cease and they pay the full interest amount themselves.?????

Posi properties, oh my wouldn’t I love that! Still love real estate. If I can get myself out of this mess, then I will be looking to downsize to exactly that. Unfortunately mine are now all negative after refinancing etc.

Thank you for posting your reply.

Yes, thought I had done all the right things, however you have to be able to hold in the bad times as with all investing.

Thanks to everyone for posting a reply. I would like to respond to each of you individually, but not sure I’m doing it right. It looks like I need to make an appointment with my banks in the first instance and see if we can work something out.

I have put further details in relation to my assets in a response to one of the replies however.

Thanks Elka, I have posted some further details in a reply to one of the responses.

You are right I cannot do this without expert advice, of which I don’t have any. How do I get in touch with these “savvy” people you speak of.
