My mother recently passed away and I got her house in the will.
Her house is seriously old and decrepit.
I walked into the place and just cringed inside. There was so much work that needed to be done. The floors were all coming up in pieces. The drywall was split and coming down. The bathrooms were seriously outdated and the kitchen was a wreck. I also didn’t realize that my mother never kept up with yard work. The lawns were overgrown and the flower beds were all weeds. I figured I had to invest serious money into the home upkeep, repairs, and then stage the place to sell it. Even with all that, who wants to invest in an older home? There is no existing ductwork in it. All the electricity is from forever ago. The plumbing is most likely obsolete and needs to be changed to sturdier material. I was really afraid to open up an expensive can of worms with this old home. I started looking at cash for home offers online. I wanted to sell my inherited property fast for cash. I didn’t want to waste any time and have someone look at the details of the house. Thankfully I found that you can sell old homes for cash in the northeast Florida area. I found a Jacksonville cash for home buyer that was great. Old, hoarder, inherited, doesn’t matter. The Florida home buyer had no issue at all. He didn’t even step foot in the place. I was allowed to take what I wanted and he would deal with the rest. I honestly was glad to not have to deal with repairs and clean up. It made a difficult time in my life so much easier.
