The reality is we can't help everyone stay in their home; there are many different reasons why some homeowners can't stay including they are too past due, they have no job or their income is not enough, they are self employed and don't have stable long term income, the property value is too high, they have too much equity,  and the list goes on and on.

Now i am new to having a CPA so maybe that is not his job. 

So my wife and I are trying to figure out how to solve our residential housing puzzle...We're currently in a $550K house with approx $200K in equity...House is too big and we'd like to downsize to about a $350K home...problem we've run into is that I lost my job at the end of last year (and am now focussing on our fledgling RE business) along with a 6 figure income - we also own two SFR rentals.

I've done a good job asking anyone who contacts me how they found me, and even what search phrases they used. 

I started out working intense physical jobs and eventually put myself through school; I have just finished completing my associates degree in business administration, which is how I was able to work my way up and out of production. 

I only occasionally make my way up to Denton, but if you need any intel about the DFW area in general, don't hesitate to ask. 

Great job so far on tackling the debt. 

He has no full time job etc.

He thought he was offering me great job security but from my view point he just wanted to totally rip me off and work me to death for peanuts.
