Let's get it going with Michaela in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Michaela, how can we help today?
Good afternoon. Thank you so much for allowing me to receive your wisdom today.
Oh, boy. Well, don't thank us too soon. That is youth. We haven't even dispensed of it yet, but I like how optimistic you are. What's going on?
So I have both a money and a relationship question all in one. In January, my father-in-law sadly passed away and left behind my mother-in-law. They were married 52 years, and he handled all of the finances. So on his deathbed, my father-in-law asked my husband to take care of his mom and take care of the rental property, which is going to be basically her income going forward. All great.
We didn't realize until a couple months in that the property was left very poorly maintained. There were some back taxes on it. There's been no insurance on the property. HOA is very high. So after we looked at all the numbers, we realized this is never going to be a truly income producing property where she can actually receive income from it.
Um, and the only reason it has been lately is because it was not maintained well. So it's been a point of contention because, um, it makes sense to sell it and get her something else that's more income producing for her, but she doesn't understand all of that. And she's very scared right now. And my husband just wants to leave everything as is. Um,
And she thinks that we're kind of stealing her money right now, which is not the case. We're just trying to back pay ourselves from all the expense we had to put into the rental property. So my question is, because the death is still so recent, do we just leave everything alone for right now?
Or should we pursue selling it and buying something that would actually be income producing for her, for her to live off of? And if so, at what time does that make sense to do that?
