    In the agreement, there were four homes in her daughter’s rental portfolio that were named as collateral.

    Whole family is a lost cause. Sue each other, who fucking cares. Petite bourgeois on petite bourgeois violence

      Imagine not only getting the legal system involved in a family dispute, but getting so mad about it that the media is involved. These people are deeply, deeply diseased

    Leaving aside the total amorality of this, these people have absolutely no grounds to sue. They bought a house and the value went down. That’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes

    link to archived version the article, for anyone else interested.

    tl;dr these people wrote up a shitty “family” contract and are now realizing there maybe should have been clauses around what happens if the property value changes before the title/deed is signed over.

    as a credit to the author, part of his response included counter-asking the couple if they would feel obligated to pay their daughter an extra $100k had the home’s value increased before the deed was signed over.

    oh, also, this appears to have been one of several rental properties the daughter owned, but she spread herself too thin to afford this one, so nobody in this scenario is really the “good guy”.

        Right? I guess I should be thankful I work an email job. Instead of backbreaking labor til I die, it’s soul crushing corporate ass kissing.

      They dropped nearly half a million to pay off their child’s mortgage. My mom has always been supportive but she would never do that. I’m an adult that got into a mortgage. Unless that was everything they had they will probably be fine.

        I mean that was in exchange for getting the house no? Like they did that because they wanted the house, doesn’t seem to be a support thing but they wanted something nice for their investment portfolio and fucked up.

        My mom would laugh and hang the phone up if I asked for something like that.

        Also I highly doubt she would have that kind of money anyway.

    ill be the one to say it: FUCK your retirement.

    at least in my country, these people were campaigning for us to lose our retirements. and we did. i’m not shedding a single tear for fascist boomers, they can die in a ditch.

        oh that was a few years back when the fascist party wanted to ‘reform’ social security.

        there was a lot of animosity so of course the fascists, who are predominantly old fucks rn, felt like campaigning in favor of the reforms.

        so it could ‘free up the budget’ or ‘make it more flexible’ 🙄

        of course it didnt fucking affect them. just the younger people not close to retiring.

        there are signs liberals want to fuck with retirement again and scam old people out of theirs and i don’t really feel like protecting their shit honestly.

    Suing your own child because you made a poor investment is some next level boomer shit. They seem like the kind of parents who view having children as transactional “we did so much for you growing up, you owe us”

    The entitlement of property owners is honestly unmatched. You aren’t owed a return on investment, literally every year you make it. The fuck. I have never seen another group of investors that acts like spoiled children quite the same way.
