By limiting middle fat.

By limiting middle fat.

@Lee Scarlett There is no basis for a legal fight....the mom already signed the deed (the fat lady has sung), the son just has delusions/dreams of doing something with it which will never happen.  

That falls under the legal doctrine of "Pigs get fat and Hogs get slaughtered."

In fact, after seeing the rent rates the thought that popped into my head was "if it were me I'd be sitting fat and happy with that cashflow, but I'd still advertise it for sale at my "make me sell" price and be tickled by the cash-out if it came."

We're all million dollar fat cats juggling 100 apartment buildings in a portfolio, don't'cha'know, and living off our yachts on the Riviera.

We’re not getting fat by being lazy; we’re doing the work ourselves.

But what you see is affordability as a big fat Oxymoron. 

If you used the HELOC to the max, your credit utilization is probably 80%+... and the credit agencies consider you are maxed out on all your credit cards and about to belly up.Most of credit cards and bank accounts now offer free credit score insights and history - you should be able to trace the score drop to the HELOC balance increase, or to what events caused what change.

Hal, I good a great belly laugh from this one.
