I've been browsing around on Zillow for a couple of hours, and, for whatever reason, decided to pull up 14BC. A few years ago, they didn't even bother with an estimated value, but they have one now - $180K - which seems fairly optimistic. (Although considering the value of neighboring properties, it might be close to that if the Chandlers actually took even the slightest care of it.) However, this is slightly good news for Chris.
About two years ago, Barb apparently told Chris, who told Null, that the mortgage still had $108K on it. Barb takes around $900/month from Chris to pay the mortgage. If the mortgage was at about $115K four years ago, and $108K two years ago, it's reasonable to assume it's around $101K now.
The house is in Barb's name, unless she has added Chris to it, which I sincerely doubt. Barb was sued four years ago in two cases for $21K in credit card debt; presumably, this is lower now, but I'm going to assume it's roughly $20K still because Barb is white trash (also, we don't know what other debts she has, and I'd be extremely surprised if this was all).
Just because of the condition of the house - it will most likely have to be gutted once Snorlax's creditors seize it upon her death - I'm going to go a bit more to the extreme end and knock $60K off the estimated value, placing it at $120K at the most. (It could easily be more or less, but I'm going to be optimistic and assume that the Hoard and dog shit/piss hasn't completely fucked it up.) If the numbers from my second paragraph are accurate, each monthly mortgage payment takes about $291.67 off of the total mortgage value.
The only total unknown is if Barb has additional debts. In the unlikely chance that she just has the $20K from Discover and Capital One (and assuming no additional costs relating to the house or her other debts are incurred), one could calculate a point at which Chris receives a very small amount of money (rather than the nothing he'd get if Barb dropped dead today), which would increase every month that Barb lives (and that's assuming they don't royally fuck up again). He'd still have to leave 14BC, but something like that could help him go elsewhere.
One can obviously make the argument that Chris would be better getting out of 14BC and away from Barb as soon as possible, but, realistically, he isn't going to do that. There are also a lot of other factors involved which could complicate this, making it all the more likely that Chris is just going to have to walk away from 14BC with nothing but as many of his toys as he can carry.
(If Chris has been added to the mortgage, then that's a different story, but this is honestly very unlikely.)
