I am not sure what you mean by "real estate". It is a term used very broadly to mean many things. Does your enquiry relate to caring? If not, then respectfully I think you are asking this question to the wrong place. Have you an account with a bank? That would be an appropriate place to visit if you...

Hello, Tim. In principle I agree with Bowlingbun - pay off existing debts before you take on new ones. But there can be many circumstances. Can you give us a little more information? Have you still any outstanging debts and where? Credit cards? Ovefrdfrafts? Are you saddled with a debt that charges ...

Thank you for all your help. I got a bit brave today! Told dad we were going to b and q and he would be ok for an hour or so. Initially he seemed put out but we did it! Baby steps. . . Hello Joanne.
