We had much the same situation with the first home we ever owned, moving before it could be sold, the proceeds of which finally helped pay for a new roof, drilling a needed new water well (over $7,000), carpeting and flooring throughout our third home (the one we finally lost to the greedy tax and spend into economic oblivion state).

It took us several years before we could sell, and had to pay over a thousand dollars to renovate our old $25,000 home due to bad tenants, who even stole the circuit-protected kitchen electrical outlet I installed to remove this potential hazard while we lived in the home, replacing it with a dangerous unprotected outlet, which I paid to replace again before selling.

We had been homeless briefly before finding this home, living in a pickup truck camper and hotel rooms briefly with four children and another on the way, and have now been homeless half a year since losing our third and last home in the past 25 years, resulting in severe health issues as a direct result.

Anyone who thinks those who worked hard to afford and provide for whatever minimal (these days) protection owning a home can provide them (which is really a liability with upkeep and insurance costs, not forgetting confiscatory "property taxes" much less bad, destructive, thieving tenants, and is only an "asset" on accountant's ledgers in a worst-case scenario of being forced to liquidate all belongings to pay creditors, or the criminally greedy state and federal courts) isn't thinking this thing through clearly, logically or with sufficient insight into the far more serious problems facing our world, society, personal well-being and freedoms today.
