I purchased a house outright with my ex with the intention of fixing it up. A few months later, we ended up breaking up and he left me with the house. I bought it with inheritance money, it belongs to just me, and I do not pay any mortgage on it.
I do not have the time, money, or knowledge to fix this house and it needs tons of work. I'm talking mass renovations, bathroom and kitchen need to be gutted and rebuilt, floors replaced, windows replaced, lots of expensive projects. It's also in a terrible neighborhood. I've tried to sell the house but people always seem to be disappointed by the shape it's in and lose interest.
I can't get a loan or mortgage with my credit history. I racked up some debt for my ex, who has refused to help me pay. I also have medical debt because I don't have health insurance. I'm currently trying to pay off this stuff but its hard when I don't a lot of money.
I'm extremely frustrated and depressed because of this. Coming home every day makes me sad. I hate living here. All I want is to get out. I could just leave the house and rent some place, but I have 6 pets and its hard finding pet friendly rentals here. If anyone has any advice on how to get myself outta here, I'd really appreciate it. I understand it may gonna take time, but I don't even know where to start or what my priorities should be.
