I bought my first RE investment in 4th Q 2007 for 1 SFR for $168k original mortgage PITI $1450
3 bdrm 1 bath, I rent out 2 bedrooms for $400 & $500 each to college students
SF Homes are now selling in short sales around me for $60-$130k, two duplex 2 doors down sold for around $230k each within 2 months of being on the market, 4 plex next door is going for $280k and has been on the market for 3+ years with little change in price.
I am in the affordability and stability plan trail period currently- Modified payment $1050
I was unemployed for 6 months of last year and took a significant pay cut.
Anyone else have similar stories? how are you going to recover? what is your plan?
