Selling an inherited property in Florida

|

About two years ago, I inherited a dwelling in Jacksonville, Florida.

I was initially entirely excited. I live in the northeastern part of the country, where the winters are harshly long & bitterly cold. It’s not uncorrect for the temperature to drop down into the downside digits. My associate and I accumulated feet of snow & the wind chill makes it dangerous to spend time outdoors. I imagined how appealing it would be to spend at least a portion of the winter in Jacksonville. Although I had never visited the area, I was aware of the proximity to the ocean, abundance of sunshine & mild winters. Unluckily, the dwelling was an unpleasant surprise. My relative was a hoarder, who was unwilling to throw anything away. She saved newspapers, magazines, water bottles, milk cartons, soup cans, cardboard boxes & all sorts of trash. The clutter made the property impossible to officially scrub & created a fire hazard. It also attracted rodents & insects & was covered with their droppings. Along with unsanitary conditions, the property smelled terrible. Being from out-of-state, I was unwilling to take the time or make the effort to dispose of the trash. I was reluctant to hire the work done. Investing into an apartment that was such a disaster seemed pointless. I decided to sell the property. Since there was no way the property would pass an apartment inspection or meet local building codes, I went with a moneyed apartment buyer. The money buying process avoided requirements for repairs, cleaning or updates. I didn’t need to deal with showings, realtor fees or qualifying for insurance. I completed a contact form online, submitted it & acquired a money offer instantly.
