text: investor or looser? my brother bought a house for investment last year and now he cant sell it.he is renting it and paying $1000 out of pocket to cover the morgage should he forcluse the house.he also ownes another home. if the house is in good shape and in a good area, try to keep it.  forcing a sales will mean selling at a low price.  now, if he can't even have enough to pay the mortgage, then that's a different story.
