This is your time...

Our society has been stricken by the downward slide of the economy. One of the negatively effected sectors is the area of home selling. I am on the hunt for individual experiences that I will sum up into a single book. I am influenced to attempt this "chicken soup-esque" experiment mainly due to my current struggles in home selling. I feel that America is ready for such a book, one that will riot against our internal home selling angst, or at least give us a self healing chuckle or feeling of unity amidst the economic stupor. Come one, come all with your entries of anguish, defeat, struggles, and victories of home selling. Let us unite with our words.


All entries are subject to be included in the book. The book may be published. If you want to remain anonymous, please indicated this on your entry, otherwise the name provided will be credited in the book. This is a volunteer request. There is no monetary value to providing an entry.


Thank you,
Rachel

  2. I have had a home for sale for three years. After that long period it is tempting to just let the bank have it back. Just to be rid of the taxes and payments. We have renters now, so that helps. It does'nt cover all of the expenses though. At this time it is off the market because of the 12 month lease with our renters. It will be hard to decide what to do when the 12 month lease is up. We have lowered the price to where we will not really come out ahead when it sells. At times it seems more sensible to keep it as a rental property. At least this way we are slowly getting it paid for. The rent does not cover the taxes though. If you can come up with renters that make their payment on time, what else can you ask for?
