Beautiful, Samia. And sad. I’m so sorry about the condo. Come visit Ann Arbor if you’d like a respite. I have lots of space for guests. ❤️❤️❤️

I may just take you up on that, Tanya. I’m feeling an eat pray love moment coming on. Thinking I will enjoy an extended period of being a digital nomad after I sell the condo. Stay tuned… 💗

I agree buying a home is a scam. We’ve been sold a dream that this generation can no longer afford unfortunately. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope wherever you go next you experience beauty and thrive in your artistry. Will you be going back to Colorado?

Right now everything is up in the air. I’m going to do an extended nomadic period after I get out of my condo, I think. I may come back to LA after but I’m not sure. It’s fully possibly for me to work from LA when needed without living here and I know a lot of actors who do that because it’s gotten so expensive to be here. We will see! I’m looking forward to next adventure after this painful period is over.

Why do u have to sell your condo?

I got a terrible interest rate when u bought that makes it pretty unaffordable. I thought I’d be able to refinance quickly but then the rates just rose and rose and never came down for long enough to get through the refinancing process and lock in a lower rate. And my income took a hit in LA instead of increasing like I thought it would. It SUCKS.

Thank you. If you knew what I’ve been paying to own this place…woof. It’s WAY more than I would have paid to rent the same place. Home ownership has become a total scam. I’m so mad I didn’t listen to my hubs. Gahhhh. C’est la vie.

Iam so lucky I bought my condo back in 2008 when the prices where down and interest rate was 7% but then I refinanced with 2.5% , now I have some equity in it, I was one of the lucky ones
