Downsides with selling an older duplex "as-is" in Berkeley, CA?

[Laquel W.]

Hi there,

Soon I'll be downsizing my elderly mother and having her move in with me and want to sell her home. It's an older duplex in northern california that my grandfather owned and made various modifications to way back when. 

My question is regarding whether it is possible, and advisable, to sell a house 'as-is' these days? My mother has health issues and I dont have the time to work on fixing up the house in the various ways it needs in order to be a home someone can move right into after she moves out (the upper unit has been vacant for years but needs a new kitchen, floors redone, etc). Luckily it's not in foreclosure nor does it have any other kinds of financial issues. It's also a pretty large duplex with a very large yard in a prime bay area city.

I'm guessing this kind of home would be best for investors but I'm not sure how I would target investors for the property. Are their agents that work directly with selling to investors?

Thanks for your advice/thoughts!
