We are in the State of TX.
-Here is our situation. We owe 90K on unsecure debts.
-We have one exempt house ($1120 monthly payment)
-3 real estate investment houses...no equity at all (2500.00 for monthly payment)
-2 car loans (550 a month for both)

******Income
-4000.00 take home from me
-2000.00 from the rental

I am current on all my debts but with the credit cards payments, I will be late starting in October 2007.

Spoke to US Financial mangement debt consolidation firm but don't like them too much since they are charging me 5K upfront for the fees.

My other option is file chaper 13...
Your input is fully appreciated.


I would sell the 3 rentals if you can do it without taking a major loss. If you pay $2500/month and rent is $2000/month then they are costing you $500 a month and that does not include taxes, insurance, repairs and months with no renters. If you are not upside down in your cars I would sell at least 1 of them and maybe both of them and by 1 or 2 cars for 3k each. I would not pay a company 5k up front to negotiate debt settlements. I would consider applying for a settlement company through this site as a comparison to the one you are looking at. I would consult a couple attorneys for their opinions even though I am not a big fan of bankruptcy. I would work overtime or pick up a second job to work through the debt. If you are going to use debt settlement then you can let your accounts go delinquent and settle them yourself.
