[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the house is in terrible condition, is it going to be a tear down?  Don’t sink money into something that could be disposable.  What does a real estate person suggest?

I like the idea of getting a selling price as is which would be the base rate divisible by everyone.  If anyone contributes to repairs, they alone split anything added to that base rate. [/quote]

I was almost hoping for that. Because it’s in a very desirable area every agent in the area says it’ll sell easily with basic cosmetic work. This of course was just prior to the virus situation. Nearby homes sell in the 1.5 million range, we’ll be asking just over a million.[/quote]
OP we did this 12 years ago. Same situation. It was $25K to clean, paint, empty, clean up grounds, [b]rid house of smells[/b], get rid of everything, some minor but necessary repairs, replace ancient appliances. Odd stuff like venting dryer out the window. Window wells leaked. Stuff like that which was glaring once the house was empty. It did sell quickly however. [/quote]

THIS.

You sure it's not a knock down, OP?  In which case, the extra money you are thinking of spending would be a complete waste, which is probably what your holdout sibling is thinking. [/quote]
