What should I do?

I run a guest house which should have been a joint venture between me and hubby but it didnt work out financially so he went back to work full time, Now he wants to move to a run down but reasonably priced bungalow one of my pet hates and spend money doing that up and enjoy life with the money saved from this house in the bank but we have my Mother to consider who wont live in with us so we have to split the bungalow or turn the garage into a home for her which is fine but I want to carry on with this not full time as it doesnt warrrant it so I shall get a part time job too it is causing real friction between me and hubby and were hardly speaking when we do we shout he basically wants to semi retire I am niot ready to just yet shall I overcome my detest for bungalows and go along or shall I stick to my plan and stay here and make the most thing is it is already on market already has a buyer and the moving in date is end of July and I have guests in till that week HELP!!!!

  1. the guest house isn't working - you have admitted to that, you might love what you do but it is not practical...you have already gone halfway towards the move by the place being on the market...so make the best of the bungalow and find a new parttime job by it that you can put your heart into...
  2. As the housing market is in freefall and will collapse, I suggest you sell the house, take the money, convert a reasonable part of that into gold (bullion) and do up the bungalow (which I also detest). If you doubt the advice I give you then google up the housing market for sub prime lending indicators in the USA and watch the housing market collapse in Spain.
  3. Okay, your mother lives with you. Why? By what you said she will live with you but then you have to spend money converting the bungalow into 2 separate rooms. Do you flip homes? My advise. Find your mom a nice but small apartment to live in on her own. Three in a house is not a good idea. As for leaving your house or staying. If you sell your house will you get a large profit? Is that profit up or down from last year? A local retainer can tell you. Might just want to do a compromise. Sell both properties and start fresh at a brand new place for both of you.
