My MiL is disabled living in Portland and her husband died a year ago. She’s been looking for ways to keep her house since then but everything has fallen through. She has I think $170,000 dollars left, and the house is worth $300,000 (just dropped $100,000 in value because of the portland market). Her interest rate on the house is only 2% but she can’t afford to keep it on disability.
She says working full time isn’t a good option for her because her disability makes her unreliable and unable to work long hours but she has skill in real estate, carpentry, (She used to fix up old houses as a side gig) and copywriting (what she did before she became disabled). The problem with that is that she can’t find copywriting gigs and every house she’s looked at in Oregon is either way out of her budget or completely unsalvageable.
Do you have any advice?
