[...] I am grateful for how they reacted to the “notice of default” posting…but still. I’ll be honest, I’ll be glad when I am not living with them anymore [...]

HoHum,

Have you ever heard of Karma? What goes around comes around. Becareful! I feel you have a great humbling a head of you. Have you ever heard of compassion and humility?

I pray for you, I pray that God will humble you so that your heart isn’t so black..

Hang in there man. Making 9k a month is tough, but possible. For example, assigning a contract might do it. I have a house under contract that I could’ve assigned for 10k (or did a double closing). But I have decided to keep the house for the monthly cash flow (like always).

After reading your situation, I’m actually rooting for you more than Casey since you’re actually actively working on getting yourself out.

Good luck.

Keep at it. At 42 I’ve long since learned that nothing matters less than what your room mates think of you. I’ve gone through 3 in the last two years and mostly they’ve been good but frankly – they’re just tenants… I’ve got a golden rule though – I only rent rooms to guys named “Paul”.

Maybe this will make you feel better.

Sorry about your house. You have nothing to be ashamed of. I lost my house, and not for a minute was I ever ashamed, because that is what I had to do to pay everybody back. You are doing the right thing. Life is not a beauty contest, where you try to look good. You just have to do the next right thing. But it is a loss, like a death in the family. But you will move on, and better things, possibly an even better house, are down the road. I hope that you are debt free soon. Nothing feels better than money in the bank, and no bills.

Thanks all for the comments. Still no word from the mortgage companies on approval of the short sale yet.

I have a buyer, just waiting for approval…

Hang in there Debt Kid…you’re definitely doing the right thing.

Also as for the Casey Serin situation, you should know that apparently Casey has never lived in most of the properties he bought. In fact the first condo he flipped? Well it turns out that at one point he had a tenant in it who didn’t pay him all the rent that was due. So Casey took the guy to small claims court (which of course costs something in filing fees) then dropped the suit, and then paid the guy money to move out (which Casey says was a loan but I guess was not paid back). So that’s Casey being his usual irresponsible self.

You Debt Kid are doing us all proud for taking responsibility for your self. Heck no, you’re no Casey and you should be very proud of that.

Anytime you want to read more Casey horror stories (and make yourself feel better), you should check out Exurban Nation http://exurbannation.blogspot.com
