Doing a For Sale By Owner/as the owner

[Patrick Dean]

Hello everyone, soon I’ll be planning to sell my primary residence and move into a “courtesy apartment”(free apartment for Police Officers). I’ll be able to live for free and hopefully have a nice profit from the house sale. I’ll be 20 minutes closer to work and I’ll also be closer to a better downtown area. The goal is to get to that $25,000 financial runway( from the book Set For Life). I know not having to pay that mortgage will accelerate my ability to save for future down payments on properties. I was encouraged to try to do a for sale by owner instead of contacting an agent. I live in the center of the city and have plenty of traffic passing my house daily. Homes and businesses around me have upgraded recently and a home up the street sold for a little over $140,000 in August of 2018. My house is a 4 bed 2.5 bath with new wood laminate and fresh paint throughout.(2400 sq ft total built in 1993). I owe $102,000 on my loan and it also apprised for $120,000 back in 2017. Any tips for selling the home faster or ways to present it better ? I know this time of year isn’t the best for selling a home but then again you never know who is looking ! Any advice is much appreciated
