Should I renovate my kitchen before selling?
I had an agent walk through my home to get an idea of what price I can get for it. The agent said I need to renovate my kitchen before I sell. I don't have the money for this and I don't want to deal with it. I just want to sell my house. What do I do?

Is it a scam?
Got a postcard in the mail saying they buy houses for cash 'fast and easy.' My house needs a new roof and the pipes are bad. Is it some kind of scam or will they really buy my house?

Should I renovate before selling?
I’m dealing with a property that has significant historical value but requires extensive structural remediation. Should I list it 'as-is' or will I see a better ROI by handling the foundation issues myself before putting it on the market?

What can I do?
When I brought my home in 2001, it was fenced with the adjacent lot. The previous owners had purchased both lots and presented the sale as one big lot. However, the city put an adverse possession on it and is trying to sell the second lot even though it’s still fenced with our land. What can I do? Is this legal?

What can we do to get our land back?
So I brought a home in 2001 and when I did, I was under the impression that the lot beside us was with our land (the previous owners, owned both lots and had the entire yard enclosed with a fence). However, the city has put an adverse possession on it and claims it never belonged to us. We have the deed that shows that’s the land was owned together but our deed only shows one of the two lots (the were seemingly combined). Is this legal?

How should I prepare for the home sale, for an aging family member?
My mom is going to pass away soon. I know I'll have so much papers to deal with after. So, I want to ask her about things now while I can. What do I need to know about selling the house after she passes or what papers to have? What should I ask her about with her house and money and things?
