My Third House in Fable 2
Many people have experienced the house glitch in Fable 2. This frustrated me for some time since I had a house that I paid good money for that I could neither live in nor rent out!
After trying various things including abandoning my wife for so long that she divorced me, I finally unlocked the first house by marrying another woman and moving her into the third home that I purchased. I went back to the first house, and it then let me rent it out.
Of course, my first child is at some virtual orphanage, and my first wife turned into a common street whore so the move was not without its casualties. But hey – I’m making more dough, and I got remarried to one of those freaky gypsy women from the caravan so it’s all good.

I’ve been playing Fable 2 lately and finally married a woman and moved her into a house that I purchased in Bowerstone Market. I then found a new house in Old Bowerstone. When I purchased the new house, I moved my family into it at the same time. Of course, I now want to rent out the first house I purchased.
Much to my surprise (and irritation), I’m only given two options when examining the sign in front of my first home. I can change the budget or enter redecoration mode. I should be able to sell or rent the house as well, but those options are nowhere to be found.
Everything I’ve read indicates this is a glitch in the game and needs to be addressed, but I don’t see any mention of an upcoming path or a timeline for a fix. People have tried various things like divorcing their wife (or even killing her!) and nothing seems to work.
I’ve since bought other homes in order to rent them out, but I’d really like to start making some money on that first home.
