<prompt> Human: My SO 29 and I 30 are separating, and we own a house together. Both of our names are on the title and the mortgage and neither of us can afford the house independently. The various options weve considered are as followed:1 She signs the house over to me, and I get roommates. Its a 3 bedroom house, so I will have plenty of space. 2 Contact one of those We Buy Your House companies and see what kind of offer we can work out3 Hire a property rental company and rent the house out. I cant think of any other good options, and Im at a loss. If any of you can offer me some insight as to the upsides and downsides of these choices, or maybe help me find a better option, Id greatly appreciate it.Assistant: Are you upside down on the house? Otherwise, I dont understand why your SO would be willing to simply sign over the house without you paying them. Also, to get your SO off of the mortgage, you would need to do a refinance but it does not sound like you would qualify for one.As for option 2, why wouldnt you simply put your house on the market and be able to get market rates for it? Any quick deal will not leave you with the best price.For option 3, what sort of rent would the property fetch? How does that compare to how much the property costs you mortgage payments, upkeep, etc?Human: We arent upside down on it, but she just wants to be out of the house. She has a huge support system in the area, but I dont. She has the capability to be able to walk away and live with family until she can get a new place. We have about 5k of equity in the house. We spoke to a realtor over the summer weve been wanting to sell the house for about a year, and she said if we had put in on the market then, wed most likely end up selling at a loss, after closing costs, based on similar home sales in the area. I dont think I can float the monthly payments on my own for very long, so a regular market sale might be unfeasible. Looking at rental prices in the area, I think I could reasonably get at least 300 more per month than my mortgage payment. We live in a good neighborhood in the city Indianapolis, IN and we live 20 minutes from a major university, with quick access to the main interstate surrounding the city. If I were to go into a rental situation, I would make sure my SO is off of the title and mortgage, if possible. If I couldnt get her off both, this option would be off the table.  <response>: If you would take a loss on selling it at market price, you will take a bigger loss by selling it quickly to an investor. It has been many months since you last spoke to a realtor - I would encourage you to try that option again, before going a different route. Seems like selling it is the best and most feasible option.
