My dad passed last year and left the house to all three of us kids. One brother wants to sell it fast for cash, another wants to fix it up and rent it out, and I'm stuck in the middle. We keep fighting over small stuff like who pays for a new roof or if we should just hire a realtor now. It's putting a huge strain on us and nobody will budge. Has anyone else dealt with inheriting property with siblings? I need some tips on how to handle this without our family falling apart. We really need a plan that works for everyone but I have no idea where to start.
I nearly bought a house with a hidden water issue. The standard inspection report came back clean, but something felt off. I called in a plumber for a second opinion, and he spotted corrosion under the slab. That extra step kept me from a nasty surprise after moving in. Always get a specialist to check the plumbing before you sign anything.
I thought saving cash on inspections was smart. Just looked at places myself. Bought a duplex that seemed fine. Later, found rotten floor joists. Cost me a bundle to fix. Now I always get a pro to check. On my latest buy, the inspector saw a bad roof. Used that to lower the price. Feels like a win to avoid big surprises.
