  • What to do about bad schools?

    When we bought our house 25 years ago the schools were great. We wanted to live here because they were so highly rated. But in the last few years there have been funding cuts and the schools have just gone down the tubes. We live in a very family friendly area with parks, near grocery stores, etc. And our home isn't huge, so it's great for a starter home for a young family. But I'm worried that people with kids won't want to live in this area anymore. We don't have a lot of private options, and the public schools used to be so good. I don't know if it is smarter to wait and see if the schools get better in 10 years, or try to sell now and move while we can and want to.

  • Should I sell ? Where would I go? Should I repaint/carpet?

    Husband 75 yrs. Alzheimer's. No long term care insurance. ONLY income SS. I'M 70 this year. Kidney disease. But much equity in home. Low interest HUD loan but townhouse association dues is expensive now. 26 yr old house. Needs bedrooms re- carpeting. 6k+. No neutral wall colors-Need to be large paint job. Paint job. Partial is about $10,000 minimum. More than that to get neutral colors which we don't want to live with. Our youngest adult child has epilepsy since he was a young child, and other severe diseases, and at 39 years old cannot move out, and we typically have at least one grandchild with us almost full-time. Therefore we cannot downsized any type of senior living, assisted or otherwise. We have talked with many elder care attorneys but it's time to call again and talk to us quite a few realtors and many financial planners and everybody has told us that we can't afford to live here but we can't afford to live anywhere else and we would get about half the space for far more money due to interest rates and also large moving costs. We have to make a decision now and even though we're in debt to get the carpet done because it's unmanageable and some of the paint and don't know how to proceed. No appreciable savings.

    I'm in the initial steps for buying a home. I want to know what's coming next and what to plan for. I've seen some pdf checklists for home buying, but is there something better than this? Is there something online that will walk me through a checklist of steps and prepare me for what's next?
