mortgage is $114K at this point.. he doesn't have a buyer, but has assessed the market.. developer let two units go for 109K and 115K this month.. I will ask Ritz (who administer my loan) about taking a haircut.. maintenance fee is $13K/yr, and I am going to suggest to them there is no fiscal reason to keep paying mortgage and fees when value ofproperty has nose dived.. we will see... finishing book proposal tonight.. I hope. Just did some physics this week. 110 degrees.. too hot for you to visit.. maybe between July 5 and Ilth?

actually getting back to work and thinking amidst hundreds ofboxes at home and office that I am unpacking at a rate of 3-5 a day in order to keep my sanity.. Hope you understood about the plane.. was happy to go on a trip with you, but the purpose was not to avoid paying for the commercial flight.. I have another question.. a financial one.. I am a financial wizard.. just heard from real estate broker in aspen that he would have to reduce price by another $35K to sell aspen property.. reducing it to $115K (down from $299K two years ago).. this is now essentially right at mortgage, meaning no equity, and actually money back required ifit sold as there would not be enough to cover his fee.. So, I have told him to keep price at $149K or take off the market.. I am wondering ifI should just let it default .. it would fuck up my credit rating completely I assume.. or keep it and wait.... Bought the place for $180K so already have lost $65K on it..
