    All due respect but, don't check out Lone Mountain.

    You cannot afford the interest stack on multiple loans. Between the equity loan (at a bad rate), the truck loan (at a worse rate), and insurance you are making no profit; and are actually in the process of losing both assets. And that's without paying yourself.

    If you have to learn this the hard way....keep your house, take a lease out with a mega, starve for three years, and go back home to the house you didn't give away to the bank.

    Any body will loan you money if they can get a free house out of it.

    Just for some interest numbers.

    Reverse mortgage/HE loan.
    Truck loan
    Insurance
    Factoring bank

    Fuel and maintenance on top of that, then paying yourself.

    What sort of rate would it take just to break even?

    The truck should buy you a house, not the other way around.
    I know a guy who hocked his house and five acres of land and bought a truck. He lasted about three years, one of which was spent mostly not working and fighting with lenders and lawyers.
    He lost everything, the house, the land, and eventually his wife and kids. He was trying to get his wife to take a second job beyond her regular one to pay for the truck.
    Last I heard he's driving for some gypo outfit and living in his van

    I think the last thing in the whole world you want to do is start a business, especially in trucking, in debt.

    She's trolling; no one will use a home for collateral to buy a truck. That's just insane!

    On top of all that- Im going to say, Directly, That her "Paid off home" was probably NOT due to hard work and Critical thinking...

    I'm betting it was given to her....If your going to say 'AHH WELL, i want to put my home up' ...you didn't kill yourself to own that home.
