Still chipping away at EA

[elvencat]

oh, sorry.. explained the rental in newcomers when I first got to this site and never did here...

rental is one owned by MIL and FIL. They got in a bind because they took over a mortgage for one of FIL's family members and then rented the house back to them. The family member trashed the house and left.. leaving inlaws with the mortgage and a house they couldn't rent back out.

When things started getting rough in March, MIL offered to let me move in for cost of utilities and me spending money to fix up house instead of paying traditional rent. None of us have any money right now so hardly anything except major issues such as water leaks and a new gas water heater have been done. I've put in some elbow grease on what just needed cleaning, but there's a lot more to make it truely able to be lived in.

It was a really nice place, and can be again with some TLC.. 3 bed, 2 bath, large kitchen, large entry room, large family room, basement (not for living, but good for storage), humongous backyard that is almost already completely fenced in and nice garage with efficiency apartment in back (which already has a tennant).
