I have a house for sale that needs a roof, a kitchen and a furnace.
The bathrooms are outdated. But, are in good condition
This property sits on an acre of land.

I don't want to just sell it to a flipper or a corporation.
My first thought is this house is PERFECT for self reliability families, plenty of room to farm, plenty of trees for a few winters heating, 2 fireplaces.

The basement use to be an old mechanic shop so there is a driveway leading down into a garage door and there shower in the laundry room.

I am also interested in wanting to help someone who might not normally be able to get into a home at the price it's worth.

So I was thinking about offering it up for Rent to own with the buyer taking full responsibility for repairs and upkeep , I am thinking:

$10,000 down with $4000 a month or $300,000 down with $2000 a month.

The rent would go towards the payments 100% and I am not interested in interest or make a huge profit of any kind. I need to make something of course. But, I am not looking to get rich.

It's worth about $485,000 to $500,000 and was thinking of asking for $600,000 if I did a rent to own.

If this is a ridiculous idea, I am okay hearing that and any other ideas or ways I could go about getting this house sold that benefits my family and someone else's at the same time.

I have some photo's and video on instagram, CottageCuteinMidland if that helps.

Hello everyone! I hope this is the right place to ask something like this. We recently went under contract (we are the sellers) and they sent their inspector and they also requested a plumber. We said sure, that's fine. But when the day came, we also found out they brought in three HVAC tech without telling us!

I am upset about this, not because our HVAC has any issues, but because it feels dishonest and an invasion of our privacy in a house that is still ours for the moment. It feels... unethical. Our realtor said that technically it's not wrong because he came during the allotted time that the inspector also visited. Am I overreacting?

Edit: because I failed to include pertinent details... The inspection was requested for four hours. The inspector and plumber came during those four hours. The buyers realtor locked up our home, left and then returned about an hour after the allotted time was over with the three HVAC techs. We were on our way home because the time was over when our doorbell cam alerted us to the re-entry.

My house has been on the market for 4 months…

My realtor seemed great at first. Lots of showings, open houses, and said to me that this is the one phone calls. Then the buyer's financing fell through. Then the next buyer wanted a ton of repairs. Then nothing.

I'm exhausted. Every time my phone buzzes, I dread looking at it. More showings. More staging. More cleaning. More waiting

Now my realtor says we need to lower the price by another $10K. After four months of carrying costs, I'm losing money every day this drags on

I started looking for alternatives. Found this company called Ready Door Homes. They promise a cash sale, no showings, no repairs, no strangers walking through my house. I can just leave and be done

But I'm hesitant. Is this too good to be true? If the realtor is telling me to lower the price, will a cash buyer offer even less? Or could they actually offer more since they don't have to deal with all the realtor fees and headaches?

I don't know if I should trust them. I've been burned by this process so many times already. I'm scared of making another mistake

My grandmother passed away 3 years ago. She left me her house in Selma, North Carolina…

I live in Europe. I haven't been back since the funeral. The house has been sitting empty all this time, and I've been paying taxes and insurance on a property I can't even see

The neighbors have complained about the overgrown lawn, the peeling paint, and the porch which appears to be collapsing and I feel horrible about everything because grandma has been living in this house for 50 years and the house was wonderful until she died

But I can't just fly across the ocean to deal with it. I have a job, a family, a life here. Hiring a realtor remotely sounds like a nightmare. Showings, repairs, negotiations, inspections and all from 6.000 miles away.

I found a company called Bright Home Offer that claims to take care of everything online. It buys properties in an as-is condition and no fix-ups and no visits. It says that I can do all that without even going to North Carolina.But I have so many questions

What happens if I am not around for the key handover? How will I be able to sign documents that need to be signed while I am in a different country? Is there anything to do with taxes that I have not considered?

Hi guys! Looking to gather interest as were unsure on what changes we can make to enable home seller's to make more educated decisions on who markets and sells their house.

Essentially are able to gather completely updated data down to the zip code on who's the top agent in the area and who's the best for the homes price range.

Were horrible at marketing and unsure if home sellers would even be interested in something like this
