Dealing with a distressed property can feel overwhelming. The repairs are piling up, the value isn't where it should be, and you might be losing money just by holding on. Whether it's because of financial hardship, an inherited home you don’t want, or a property that’s falling apart, one thing is clear: you need a solution, and fast. But what are your real options? What actually works? Let’s break it down. Sell it to a cash buyer for speed and simplicityThis is the option most people don't think of first, but it's often the fastest fix. Cash buyers aren’t looking for a picture-perfect home. In fact, they’re used to buying ugly ones. Major repairs? Doesn’t matter. Peeling paint, bad roof, weird smells? Still fine.Selling to one of these companies usually means you skip inspections, showi... 05/22/2025

Perhaps I should have titled this post "How Important Is Your Backyard To You?There is no correct answer to the question unless the "To You" is added. For many people (Renters, Condo Owners, Mobile Home owners) the yard has very little to no importance. To some of us an acre or two would be great.  My home sits on a lot and a half in the City of Minot ND. This is a perfect fit for me as I accumulate a lot of "stuff". I have a stall and a half garage (my wife would not let me remove the tree which would have given me the space to build a two or three stall garage. I have a large storage shed and we also have a cute little playhouse on the property.
