I’ve Inherited A House. Now What? 3 Creative Ideas For Inherited Property (and Maybe Even Make Money!)

Let's face it, receiving a “free” house from a family member isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Maybe you inherited a fixer-upper, your family situation changed, or the market took a nosedive. Whatever the reason, you're stuck with a house you don't want. But don't panic! There's hope for homeowners who feel stuck with a house they either never asked for or no longer want.

Here are 3 creative solutions to consider, besides the traditional (and sometimes lengthy) route of listing with a real estate agent:

1. Sell My House FAST (for Cash!)

This might be the option for you if speed and convenience are your top priorities. Traditional selling with a realtor can take months, with endless showings and mountains of paperwork. Here's the good news: There are local investors like us at 704HomesNC who specialize in buying houses as-is, for cash! This means no repairs, no cleaning, and no waiting for a buyer. You get a guaranteed closing date and a quick cash payment so you can move on with your life. Intrigued? Just reach out for a no-obligation offer! (See below for my contact information).

2. Become A Renovation Rockstar

Maybe you have a vision for your unwanted house. If you have some time and some DIY skills, renovations can be a great way to unlock hidden value. Think granite countertops, a trendy backsplash, or a modern bathroom remodel. By putting some sweat equity into the property, you can significantly increase its selling price and potentially score a bigger profit.

This option is perfect for:

• Those who enjoy hands-on projects

• People with construction or renovation experience

• Individuals with a strong understanding of the local market

Be warned: Renovations can be time-consuming and expensive. Factor in all the costs before taking the plunge.

3. Rent it Out As A Rental Property

This is a great option for those who don't mind being a landlord and see long-term potential in the property. Rental income can be a steady stream of cash flow, and with careful management, the property can appreciate over time, giving you a nice return on your investment. However, being a landlord comes with responsibilities like repairs, tenant issues, and vacancy periods.

Consider this option if you:

• Have a stable property in a desirable location

• Are comfortable managing tenants and repairs

• Want a long-term investment strategy

If you've already tried being a landlord and are tired of the headaches that can come with the job, give us a call. We may be interested in buying your unwanted rental property and would be happy to give you a cash offer. Wouldn't you rather have cash in hand instead of a problem rental property?

No One-Size-Fits-All Solution

The best course of action depends on your specific situation, goals, and resources. Here's the key takeaway: You have options! Selling your unwanted house doesn't have to be a stressful experience.
