He wants to build a small office on existing property. It would mean a mortgage. He states that the mortgage will be paid from the rents. All expenses for building will be covered by rents.

We have a mortgage that is a strain on me menatally and will be difficult to manage if interest rates rise. I am not a business person I am 59 unemployed housewife. At this stage of my life I want to downsize and get rid of property. I do not wish to be in the rental business my goal is to get out of it. We have been trying to sell lots, houses, small farm, for over 2 years. I am very much against his office project.

My question is what am I supposed to do? I dont want to deal with the permitting, financing, bill paying, sub contractors, real estate taxes,county departments, tenants, insurance agents and general problems associated with this project. What do couples usually do in situations where they are at opposite ends of project? I am stressed enough about finances and mortgage just keeping us going each month.

My husband is a man of visio and is trying to make us money. I appreciate that fact . I just dont want to deal with the worry of how to pay the mortgage when we have a vacancy or repairs to deal with. I love my darling husband but he is making me so stressed out I am ill. Your thoughts please.
