I don't know what I what I would do is I would concentrate on my income and I would get the rental property sold like which the pressure of messing up your parents off you. And then when income -- coming in you can start to settle some of these old deaths and clean them up. Simplify your life and create big piles of income and this whole thing goes away. And that's how I'd start looking at this I'll probably start its it's I'm guessing you're single based -- just the way you did word you were using but. If you are then I'm probably would sell both properties. And I would give me an inexpensive rental. And if I had a car permanent select car you mean an expensive car. Simplify your life down there where you have no bills except those bills left over from that mess that was formally your dream. And then you know you're going to spend some time cleaning up that mess. Then you'll be able to rebuild and start talking about whose real estate deals later. As an owner in the meantime of course she's real estate brokerages not out of reach and you could do that as well on the side but more."
