If you have ever walked into Grandma or Granpa's house and thought..."how can they live here?" then you will know exactly where I am coming from. Years ago I walked into a house that a lady built back in 1977. She was meticulous about cleaning and preparing things so the house was in pristine condition.
But, You Should Have Seen the Carpet...
I walked in and was instantly greeted by the original 1977 construction. The same avocado green carpeting was lying throughout the living room with the orange carpeting in the kitchen and bathroom. She had kept up the house so well that it didn't show it's age besides the cosmetics.
So what do you do in a situation like that when it comes time to sell? Well, my opinion would be to either list it on the market and try to find someone wanting a project, or to sell to a real estate investor.
The first option of using a Realtor will give you the most amount of money. But, the tough part about selling a property like that is the individual needs to have $30,000-$50,000 saved to stick into the house. The renovation will cost a significant amount of money & unless they are well-capitalized it might be more than they are anticipating.
