Quoted from hailrazer:

The house is not mine alone. When my dad died of cancer I went in with my mother in buying the house. We got it for $20 a square foot on foreclosure. We then sold our houses which had mortgages also to move in together. I moved in my Mom, my grandmother, my handicap sister and my wife and 2 kids. It took 5 years to sell one of the other houses and I lost $120,000 in bank payments because I am a man of my word and would not just let it go back to the bank.
In the last 2 years my grandmother died of a stroke and my 2 kids moved out. So we decided to fix the house up and sell it and downsize as we cannot afford the home. I sold everything I had in the way of games and toys and tools and hobby stuff to pay off debts and fix the house up.
Most of the contents came from consolidating three homes and three debts.
"Sell off the contents" I looked into it and was told that you get pennies on the dollar for furniture. The pinball and air hockey table might get a few hundred. Other than that there's not much to sell.
It is a nice home but it is in a repressed area and I was told it might not sell at all. I got a good deal and did a ton of work and was hoping that after years of debt I might be able to sell it and maybe recoup some loss. But I have not had one interested person yet. The realtor said we will just keep dropping the price and maybe somebody will bite in the next year or two.
I am not rich, I have no extra money, I live month to month in a home I paid $260,000 for to fit in 3 families. I do great remodeling work, did it all myself. But it's just a home. It won't pay the bills.
