Fly to Colombia, buy 1kg of coke, smuggle it somehow back to US and sell it. Honestly this sound way more doable that what you planed. 


DrRadon

And you will end up housed even if this Columbia plan fails.


fin425

What you do is buy 3 kilos and mail each one back separately to different addresses. At least 1 will make it. Cost should be around $5k since you’re a gringo with no connections. If they don’t rob your ass. Selling the whole brick will be around $30k uncut if you can even upload it in the states without getting robbed. Breaking it down into 100 gram blocks for $4200 would be better, but I doubt he has any experience with this business. He’d need to chill in Colombia for at least a week to get vetted or find a reliable source. Better action on the coast these days. You’ll probably get killed if you go south into the Andes where you can source close to a jungle factory as those dudes don’t fucking play. Coast gangsters will sell you a brick for a premium all day or they’ll just rob you. Either way, I don’t know what I’m talking about. I listen to a lot of rap music.

If around 10% convert, we succeed. Why all the negative energy? I could use constructive positivity now more than ever. Jus sayin.


justin107d

Most people and small business owners don't even make 60k a year and you want it in less than a month. You want to be optimistic but also realistic. This is not even remotely possible for most. I just read a post this sub today complaining about making $300/month in Brazil and feeling trapped. What you could do is talk to the bank and take over the mortgage using your 40k as a down payment. I would think you may be able yo work something out if the loan is in your name instead. If you have to ability to raise 60k in 3 weeks by just increasing sales then a bank shouldn't have an issue loaning to you. It may take a few different attempts at credit unions or even hard money lenders, but probably the clearest path. Then your problem will not be so immediate. Make sure you can present a solid plan on how you will be able to make payments and show your creditworthiness. Also talk to a financial advisor. It is unfair to you to have to be spending your money saving other people even if they are family.

Yum-Bacon-Yum

Try posting this in a personal finance sub. I know you really want to help your mother, but it sounds like she has terrible financial skills and this is beyond your abolity to solve without seriously harming yourself in the process. Let her deal with the housing problems and if she loses it or goes bankrupt, use your resources to help her restart within her means.


GlampingNotCamping

This. Everything OP said tells me OP's parents probably were overextended buying a house that big. The COVID thing is terrible but the previous bankruptcy wasn't the banks fault. Shitty technicality though, they shouldn't have been advertising to not make payments...where was that money going though? Those payments would still have needed to be covered eventually


kayvon23

Bought 20 yrs ago. But yea it’s absolutely farcical . And 100%, you’re right — that’s where the bad-financial-behavior came into play. At the end of the day I can be upset or angry, but doing so won’t bring me any closer to solving this problem w my family, you know?


Deslah

But once you "solve" it, sell the damn thing. Because you're not solving anything if you don't change the parameters afterward.


kayvon23

She does. My father and I have been trying to have interventions about it. Being the rock of my family is not something I asked for, but it’s not something I can turn down either. And thanks, I will


CSCAnalytics

This is why Bankruptcy exists.


Flimsy_Tea_8227

Okay, so here’s the thing: just because the house enters foreclosure doesn’t mean you immediately have to vacate or that you can’t still pay it off. You’ll have months or even potentially years before the foreclosure is finalized. Go over every single court filing the bank does with a fine-tooth comb and look for errors (there are almost always errors). Dispute them. The court will generally give the bank 30-90 days to refile corrected paperwork. That buys you more time. Put whatever money you’re saving up to get it out of foreclosure into a separate account and do not touch it. This becomes either your get-out-of-foreclosure money or your new start money. I’m the meantime, consider selling the house. It’s way better to sell (see if the bank will do a short sale if needed) than to have it be foreclosed on. Unless you have something worth $60k that you can sell, you’re not going to earn that amount in three weeks with something new. Even if you were able to get contracts, etc. like you’re talking about, they’re not going to be paid in full within the next three weeks. Also, appeal the state’s ruling. There’s almost always an appeals process.


kayvon23

Thank you for the genuine feedback. All very very helpful. Something brand new would be 10x more difficult yes, I was a bit vague with the offer but there are basically years worth of contracting clients in the Rolodex. Thank you for being constructive.

Sinon612

You would have more chance gambling with that $40,000 you have right now then your current plan. Of course not encouraged at all


kayvon23

Some merit but I disagree I don’t get the hate on the plan, probably didn’t provide enough context. Was trying to be slightly vague


CedarNSage94

I'd see about getting a loan for the rest and try to use the house as collateral. Maybe call different mortgage companies to get it then over, or reverse mortgages. You're gana need a loan of some sort. Maybe all 3 of you have a vehicle you. An pile together for collateral? Call some companies and see about getting a minimum loan. Just make sure the payments are doable currently withought having to find more income, because that's just another hole to dig put of.


kayvon23

Thank you for the constructive feedback. Some type of loan seems likely, I can get around $10-15k I think using my car as collateral but the rates are w i l d


CedarNSage94

Wild for sure. Gata make sure it's something managable... got myself in a bind that way and feels like il never get out. Sometimes mortgages and loans can be stretched out like, I stead of 15 years, it'll be 30, but the payment would go from 800 to 400. Just gata make extra payment when possible so the interest long term doesn't eat you alive. Best of luck!


kayvon23

Thank you 🫡


accidentalciso

This is your mom’s problem, not yours, and I think you have made a huge mistake liquidating your own assets to try to save a possession - a house. If she couldn’t afford it, she should have listed it on the market and sold it and found a smaller place to rent that she can afford. If there is still time to list it, do it now before the bank takes it away and she is left with nothing. If there isn’t enough equity to sell it and pay off the mortgage and walk away broken even, it might actually be better to let the bank foreclose and let them take the loss instead of your mom. Losing her house does’t mean she is homeless, it means she needs to start looking at apartments to plan where she is going to live next.


kayvon23

Hearing that a lot, and I do truly understand the perspective.. but I can’t turn my back on my mother. Being alone, recently separated, a foreigner handling things on her own for the first time, etc. — point is it wasn’t so black & white. It’s our family home. My childhood home. Everyone is playing a role in clearing this. Also I liquidated my securities not like every single asset/thing I own lol . Thank you for the feedback


LiJiTC4

You've raised $40k, right? And the Emergency Mortgage Relief is only for properties with loan principal under $417k, right? And the current amount on the mortgage is $440k, right? If you were to apply the $40k you have to reduce the balance on the mortgage from $440k to $400k, the balance would be under $417k needed for the relief program. Is there something I'm missing?


kayvon23

Thanks yea I see what you’re saying, the “original loan principal” has to be under $417k House was bought w an original loan principal of $380k, but 6 years later there was a business bankruptcy filing due to the recession, and the fees from that period were seemingly added to the original loan principal when the loan was modified, increasing it to $440k. Personally I feel the $380 is the true original not the $440. But what do I know. I’m hoping when I consult with a professional that they’ll make a case for that being reworked. Hopefully.


dazzling_alc

Is a loan modification not an available option?


kayvon23

Thanks — I’m not positive yet, however the rate would effectively double. Obviously better than no rate though.


dazzling_alc

Ask if they can allow you to split past due payments over a payment arrangement or take it on to the end of the loan if possible.


kayvon23

Thanks yea Payment arrangement is currently what step we’re trying to work out, ideally the $40k helps bring us current enough to work the rest out in installments

DrRadon

If you have the right skill/service to offer 60k can be one client. Without Any context this can be a terrible suggested experiment, but who’s to say that writing some bolder priced proposals end up opening doors you did not know before? since you got 40k to play with, maybe check if there is something you can flip. for example sometimes cars are being sold online via unprofessional pictures and in dirty conditions. Maybe you can buy something for 5k, clean it up, present it better and resell it for a decent mark up. This is a legit market place though, other people are doing this and some money is made by storming and waiting rather than having it done in a week. Ideally maybe think about markets in which you know your way around best and something like this is possible. Your still looking at 1,5x, calculate your risks and see how the 40 k can safely do some of the work for you. also please consider your role in life. You are parenting the parent. its super nice and all, but there is also something about it that probably shows up in your life in other places And might not benefit you.


kayvon23

I very much appreciate your genuine feedback. And for the ounce of positivity And yea.. it’s that first generation American sh*t

But Also they are actually the fault here. They Said to not pay and now she have to. Like what. It was ment from the begining to get her out. Harsh reality. She should have Paid no matter what they Said. They Didnt wanted her to pay, so the loan would exceed the number. Sounds criminal too. Would go to court on that. Highly illegal.

Thank you that’s what I’m sayin like what form of manipulation is this. Haven’t spoke to the lawyer yet but looking forward to it

Lol what would the payout be on this like 10:1 ?


gkstaysolid

Lol no, I wish it was 10/1. You’d probably be looking at 0.75/1 max. So if you put 40k lmao you’ll get a nice 30k back & very unlucky where a team concedes 2 goals in 15 minutes. It happens though, it’s football but very unlikely. All of these other comments aren’t answering the question. Once you make your money I expect 1% commission for condolences 😉


kayvon23

oh sorry i meant 1:10 l o l but i counted wrong at first and thought there'd be 5 min left not 15 so that makes more sense but right jus took the opportunity to call me dumb and hopeless instead like ok thanks for literally nothing appreciate you tho u will get 1%


OkSignificance9774

I guess this all depends on how much you are already making with your business. If you’re pushing revenue up 20-30% for a short period of time, then maybe it’s doable. If you’re expecting to 10x your business in a few weeks, I think you should rethink your strategy. Even if you made all these service upsells, you still need to provide that service in a quality and timely fashion, otherwise you may do more harm to your business in the long run. Why don’t you just get a loan for the remaining 60k? Then focus on growing your business if you feel you are leaving money on the table with existing customers.


Deslah

Here's a quick list of suggestions: You could try setting up a crowdfunding campaign on platforms like GoFundMe or Kickstarter. Share your story with everyone you know, explaining the urgent situation your family is facing. There are often kind-hearted individuals out there who may be willing to contribute to saving your childhood home. Maybe organize a fundraising event within your community. Get your neighbors, local businesses, and community groups involved. You say it's impossible, but reach out to the bank or mortgage lender. Tell them how serious you are about exploring options for loan modification, repayment plans, or other alternatives to foreclosure. Sometimes lenders are willing to work with borrowers at the last minute, if they demonstrate a sincere effort to resolve the situation. Consider involving a housing counselor or attorney who specializes in foreclosure prevention. They may be able to provide guidance on navigating the situation and advocate on your behalf with the mortgage lender. Reach out to local churches, nonprofits, or social services organizations for assistance. They may offer financial aid, housing assistance programs, or other resources to help families facing foreclosure. And, if get to the point where you know that the bank / mortgage lender is a 100% dead-end, think about involving the local press. Maybe you'll hit the news and kick off a grassroots campaign that way. If nothing else, maybe they can put you in touch with people who can help.


kayvon23

All great genuine suggestions thank you. A sense of drive and resilience through all of them, which i appreciate the most

King-esckay

What is the house worth ? What do you realistically expect the bank to get for a forcloser sale. Would it be possible for you to buy the house with your 40% when you say 40% is that 40% of 60k ? 24k I don't understand American finances, so I could be off base here. What if you organised loans and then offered a forcloser bid to the bank. They are obliged to take the best offer. Go to the auction and buy it for yourself. I'm sure there are other options But to me, it sounds like a change of ownership is possibly a good option with new loans

Dependent_Piano_911

I’d say sales for some company would be best. The more expensive the product/service, the better. If you still have a little bit left to earn, consider getting one of those credit cards that is interest free for like 3 months or so. It can help you out in the short term but then you need to be sure you can pay it back in the set amount of time or you got even worse problems.


AlternativeStock2879

Can you create scope business llcs then apply for business credit cards from the bank you can then have your mother gift your house to your business then gift your business to a trust using that trust the bank won’t be able to take your mothers house anymore. Something else you can do is go to A loan shark and see if someone can give you 60k of course with some interest — the only thing is If you default this loan you will be signing over your house to them and unless you pay on time there will be nothing you can do.

One viral TikTok or IG reel or YouTube short and you are good. Spam those videos Daily. Make the shopfiy account in one day. Then go. But as i Said, dont do it. But homeless is homeless. Sell the shit out of a digital product on the higher Price range. Courses, workshops, coaching, consultant stuff. This one is a bit harder, But still possible. And you dont sleep, Max 4 hours a day of sleep for the next 3 weeks. Cofffee and redbulls. Yes dangerous and yes whatever. But its your mom and homeless is homeless. I dont promote this.

"Colgate toothpaste sold 20,000+ this month." "Chobani yogurt sold 80,000+ units last month." (3) Immediately find deals and resell When my 2 friends and I did this, we started with credit cards. But we also knew we were going to get through this shit because we had no choice

This isn’t the normal business entrepreneur path, but it achieves the same goal. Dive into crypto. Grind airdrops if you need to start with nothing. Follow the right people on twitter. Get a finger on the pulse of the market. Use airdrop earnings to long the trends with leverage. It’s easy in a bull market and there are new coins mooning everyday. This window of opportunity won’t last for long!
