I Really need help in the realestate world!?

Question

So I bought a house with my Girlfriend Now my EX! She left me and moved out but we still own together and I am currently living in the house. It is currently on the market and a very soft one indeed. Basicly neither one of us can afford the house on our own So how do i make her understand that she has to keep paying her half of mortgage till it is sold She is paying currently but i am afraid that when she realizes she cannot live with mommy anymore she will have to move on

then comes the money thing OMG WHAT A MESS PLEASE LET OUR HOUSE SELL

Answer 1

Get  a  new  roommate  to  cover  the  costs .

Although  a  financial mess ,   she  is  Not  receiving  any  benefit  from  paying    on  the  mortgage ( since  you   are  the  one  living  there )  so ,

She  will  probably  drop  the  $$$$  drain  shortly .

Get  roommates  to  cover  the  costs  until  you  sell .

Good  Luck

Answer 2

just hope it sells and don't do this stupid thing ever again as you were not MARRIED and she feels that playing house was just that or she would not have left

Sorry but I see it every day

Answer 3

get her to sign a document to you that says that her primary finacial housing responsibility is to pay the home till it is sold then take it to a notary

Answer 4

First mistake...buying ahouse with someone you are not married too.

Now, are both names on the mortgage? if so, failure on either part to pay will cause irreversible damage to your credit. Have you considered renting it out? For at least the cost of the mortgage? Or consider doing a rent to own. Those are the only two options in this horrible market. Good luck.

Answer 5

OK, let's slow down.

Do you have a legally binding agreement that states what is to happen with this property if you broke up?  If not.....

If she refuses to pay, you might not have to do a thing because the mortgage lender will be after her for the money too.  

Are you priced to sell?  Many homes are priced too high for this market, if you are not getting any showings, it is too high.  If it is getting shown and no offers, it is a little too high.  

Another option, could you rent it out for enough to cover your payments and maintenance costs?  How about a roommate?

Answer 6

if she stops paying, you "must" sue for for

breach of contract.

also, consider selling part of the house

and also

consider putting an assisted care

facility into the house.
