Well it means we either get some more tenants or sell the house.
We did want to sell it, but now WW has lost her job, my solicitor has said "It is in your interests to try and resolve finance and property matters when WW has another position of employment.
It would carry more risk for you if you commence finance and property proceedings on the back of the divorce proceedings whilst her financial circumstances are uncertain."
This assumes we are heading for the door with the big D on which makes me so sad. Feeling a bit low at the moment. I did want to go to my first Jiu Jitsu lesson this evening but I couldn't find it. I had two different postcodes and wasn't able to spot a big fitness centre at either.
And S15 doesn't want to come down to the seaside this weekend as he reckons his back is not up to it. So I'm disappointed about that too.
There's more trivial complications with other things too but all of this is making me stressed. I just want it all to go away now.

Sorry to hear that OD (we need an equivalent of hand on shoulder icon here!)
Could you use a guaranteed letting income agency to bridge the gap? Not as good an income but better than the alternatives maybe?
Know what you mean about wanting things to go away, I have no idea if the current upswing in my sitch will last or go where I obviously want it to go but I do know in January and February I just wanted to put my head under the pillow pull up the duvet and hide some days, just felt like a constant slog up an infinite mountain with no clear idea of what was waiting there.
Keep on keeping on OD you will get to good days again, the shape of them? Who knows. But they will be good.
Make sure even if S15 isnt coming you have some good times this weekend, problems will always be around and we may not be able to fix them all but I've learned the level of stress they cause us is something we do have some control over even if we just need to breathe, get out to a new view or go for a walk.
Hang in there matey.

Hi OD, well I dont suggest the duvet as a good plan but the cheese sounds good if not great for the waistline!
Dont say cheeeeeeeeese too much or v will be here with the wine, crackers and olive bread you know and then we'll have to have a party, oh that would be awful
I dont claim to be an expert on GLA's (dont own a property and privately rent) but from what I understand they take over the letting responsibilities, vetting etc and guarantee a minimum income but take a slice of the rent when its let. I'd google it in your area and see whats out there and obviously read all the fine print

Ah OK, a hands off approach. We are such crap landlords or brilliant, depending on which side of the fence you're on.
We just let our tenants live in our house for 3 years without a single rent increase. The income doesn't even meet our own rent ... and that's before we pay any tax on it.
I like the sound of a cheese and all the trimmings party. It's a pity it'll have to be a virtual one.

OD...sounds to me like you'd like to keep things as is rather than sell, resolve finances and head for D. So why not try to find some more tenants? Or as Edz suggests, use an agency to find some. Is it hard in your area to find tenants?
