If you can't sell... donate and take the tax deduction...

No reason to keep a property you and your sibling desperately want to be rid of...

What were your parents thinking leaving you both with this headache?

Unless the liens on the property are more than the fair value, there is always a purchaser out there. Maybe its future isn't as an owner occupied property, but will instead have tenants in the coming years.

Since its an estate, you should be paying off what liens there were from the liquid assets of the estate.


If the property is a wreck, you may have to pay to raze it, again from the assets of the estate.

You're right. They changed the law about 1 1/2 years ago. Guess I'm just behind the times.

My neighborhood is 50-60% Hispanic.

I feel safer and more comfortable here than in the white, gentrified hood I lived in before getting pushed out (rents too high), and than in my old inner ring suburban neighborhood (which has turned into a kind of creepy, white trash area).

People here mostly keep to themselves, they don't do drugs, the kids are well behaved, and the cops are barely ever around.

I like Hispanic neighbors. I'll keep 'em.

In my experience, Hispanics fall into all the various categories that every other ethnicity falls into. Good, bad, and everythnig in between.

Just hire a Spanish speaking realtor. Problem solved.

I think I'm suffering from deja vu.


Isn't there another thread on this same topic by the same poster?

Yes.

Apparently complaining about Mexicans requires more than one thread.

Have 2-3 real estate agents look at the property and give you an estimate about what it will sell for. The neighborhood appears to have gone down hill, so don't set your hopes too high.

Some investor will buy it and turn it into a rental, or else some person who likes to be near that culture will buy it for his own family. Just because you don't want to live near a restaurant or near noisy neighbors doesn't mean that nobody wants to.

Another possibility is that it might be zoned commercial. Because there is a restaurant next door, it might be possible to convert that house into a business. That in turn might make the property more valuable than you think.

(3rd paragraph)..............."Just because you don't want to live near a restaurant or near noisy neighbors doesn't mean nobody wants to "

How many people , looking to buy a house, tells the realtor they want to live near noisy neighbors ?

I really don't know if that was supposed to be taken as sarcasm or a joke.
