Present personal home to investors or go traditional sale???

[Aja Rutledge]

Hi,

I hope this post is well received as I assume it's a bit out of the box but not sure where else to go. I'm interested in REI but still learning and haven't actually stepped into the pond yet. My question is about my personal home. I am looking to sell and it's needing some major repairs like new roof, new siding, deck needs to be completely fixed and painted...that's naming the major things. There are more things inside that aren't as major but still need to be done. I've been addressing the very small things like getting the garage door repaired, etc.

I honestly don't have the $ for all the repairs. Though it probably sounds contrary, the home is beautiful (this isn't JUST my personal opinion - people love my home but they don't see all that I see) it just needs some (expensive) repairs. I was initially thinking of pricing it lower than the market rate to compensate for the repair costs (like $45 - 60k lower) and going with a real estate agent. However, I'm wondering if that's the best move.

Do you have advice on if I should present to investors or go the traditional REA route? Thanks so much. Aja
