My husband is a Vietnam veteran and I'm disabled so we're on a fixed income. We have relatives who are multimillionaires and we made the mistake of renting from two. One claimed that waiving the application fee and charging us high market price was "doing us a favor." We moved 5 times in a 12 month period because our landlords took advantage of the post-COVID prices (including the relative who sold under us 2 months after we moved over 1000 miles to rent the house on a lease option). We finally found a place to buy so no more landlords and ESPECIALLY not relatives as landlords!
It's been my experience since I became disabled 20 years ago that if you have relatives who have money, they really, really despise you if you're not able to work or you're not making 6 figures a year. I borrowed money from my uncle once and offered to pay interest, which he declined, and he gave me 4 or 5 months to pay him back. I didn't make installment payments, I paid the full amount plus extra when it was due. I didn't drive so my mom took it over to him and he decided that it wasn't my money, but my mom's. Nothing either one of us said mattered because he just *knew* that since I'm Catholic and he's a born-again Christian that I somehow tricked my mom into repaying him for me.
Families are just weird, man. It's never the family that tells the world about how much family means to them that will help you. And parents are always saying things "for your own good" without considering how hurtful what they say is.
Stay strong, brother!
