Need Some Advice

Hello,
Me and my girlfriend purchased a new
16 x 72 moble home in 1999. We were young and was taken advantage of (lesson learned). High interest rate and we still owe 29,000. She hates living in a moble home and wants a house bad, so do I and our kids. Its in a park and I know we owe way more than this thing is worth. We make $70,000 combine income and with padrent and house payments we could easily pay for a house lol mad

Any suggestions or tricks to help me out?

    My first suggestion would be to see if you can rent it out and move into a place of your own.

    Besides that, being upside down in a property sucks bad. I hope that others have better ideas, but generally speaking foreclosure and bankruptcy are terrible options and you're going to loose money sooner or later. Perhaps a market shift (rising interest rates) will increase the resale value, but your guess is as good as mine as to if or when that would occur.

    I hope other people have more helpful advice than this. Sorry, but good luck.

    I don't know about the others but for me, I would cut back on as much expences as possible. I would save as much as I can for the next two or three months or so. I would prequalify for a mortgage. If I can't get funded. I will look in the paper for Lease/Option ads, Rent to Own or Contract for Deeds, No bank Qualifing Ads.
    I would try to find a motivated and flexible seller in the neihborhood I wouldn't mind living in. Rent the mobile home out or sell it. Hopefully I can get some type of postive cash flow if I do rent it out thats the expectations. I guess thats it in a nut shell. Hope that can help some
