Resolved Question: Help, please?!?

I am involved in a 3-way investment on a rental property and we are being forced to sell because of a DOT project. Our profit on this property will be approximately $75,000 and we need to figure out how to split this up. Being close family members, we weren't too concerned about figuring this out we bought the property.

I would really appreciate any suggestions from real estate investors experienced with partnership investments like this.

Here are the figures for the capital and work/mangement invested by each party.

Investor #1:
Invested $150, 000 by taking out a regular home loan.
Lived at the property and payed "rent".
Did 85% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #2:
Invested $75,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 0% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #3:
Invested $25,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 15% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Thank you!

Resolved Question: Should I enter a CCCS, settlement or other arrangement?


note - please dont give me lectures, I know where I have been irresponsible, I am just looking for good advice. I have a ton of credit card debt (almost 50k) and let it build up knowing that I would get a home equity loan and pay it off using my equity at a managable rate. Cut to a bottoming out home market and broken credit market (probobly because so many people already did what I was planning) and now I dont know what to do. My savings is gone, and our monthy obligations are more than our income most months (I am in sales and have a variable income) does anyone with real experience have any suggestions. A bank that will loan me the money (not a nigerian one, thank you very much) or a situation such as CCCS or a settlement service that has helped you? I really dont trust those things and I have the feeling that they will destroy my credit. I currently have never missed a debt payment - I am 31 with a young family that would like to grow, but is being torn apart by the stress

Resolved Question: Interest rates too high on Credit Cards?


I have about 25K in Credit Card debt. I can make the payments with no problem (more than the minimum) but the interest is killer (around 29%). What are my options for lower interest rates. I own my home but havent built any equity yet to get a loan that way.

Resolved Question: Help, please?!?


We took out a $55,000 home equity loan and now are in the process of paying it off.The problem is,I'm making payments that is only covering the finance charges and my balance is never going to go down in this scenario.What can you suggest to help? Maybe a lender that won't place a finance charge?
