To put it in perspective, I can muddle around a bit in programming, if I need something serious done I find someone like you. You have and have had a challenging life. Make it easier where you can.<br />I would think there should be real estate professionals who can help you. There would probably be a fee involved but it should take a substantial stress off you, the trick is delagating with clear expectations and accountably.<br />I did a bit of thinking about how to approach delegation in a stress decreasing way, you have a lot of stress about this. The best I could think of is treating delegation like programming. When you write software you don't just start coding. You define the results and expectations of the software first. To delegate effectively, before even looking for someone to delegate to, first define results to be achieved.<br /><br />Result to be achieved: comfortable, relaxing home to live in.<br /><br />Refine expectations of result to be achieved by defining expectations<br /><br />Positive outcomes to be achieved:<br />- safety<br />Warm and comfortable<br />- transportation access to work, shopping etc<br />- ?<br />Negative outcomes to be avoided<br />- budget<br />- High and surprise expenses<br />- ?<br /><br />Once you have results and expectations defined, find someone who has the skills and experience to do the job. A professional with good references would be best unless you have a friend who is good at this.<br /><br />Now the most important thing, accountability. Apply accountability to the results you have defined. Accountability is not personal, the same as software development is not personal, you need a result achieved. You may have to be open to refining your positive and negative outcomes, but you should never compromise the end result, a home you can be happy in.<br /><br />Hope this helps a bit. You don't have to post this, just thought this perspective might help. Wishing you well in a challenging life.
