Time to move over here.

[kml]

Buying the house from W may be a good idea in this market, but be careful you don't get in over your head just because you're attached to the house.

If you haven't had economic mediation yet, how can you know if you can afford the house? What if you get hit with a very large alimony payment, for instance? Will you have enough money left over to handle any emergency house repairs? How old is the roof/water heater/etc?

I'm just trying to caution you to look at it objectively, as if you were buying a new house, and make sure you're not getting in over your head for sentimental reasons.

If you keep the house, can you get a roommate to help with expenses?

Sorry you are here, I know it's very difficult - but it gets better. Honest.
