Turning a family house into a side hustle: YTA or NAH?
YTA: Legally clear, but morally a s**tty family member.
“YTA-Honestly, if you were in my family I would absolutely hate you. I get you want it as a side gig and that’s great, but don’t pretend like your cousin wanting to use a place she grew up in and met her fiancé at for her wedding is a vacation. It’s a major life event. Your family probably assumed that someone else in the family buying the property was good for keeping access to it. Your grandparents should of sold it to someone else if you were going to have this kind of attitude about it. I’m sure they could of gotten more money for it and saved the family drama. If it’s selling so well like you said, I don’t think missing out on one Memorial Day weekend is going to mess with you. I think you’re just using this as an example to the family that you don’t care what they want or how they feel it’s your place and they should get over whatever attachment they have to the place. Enjoy being the family piranha.”
