Best way to determine values of a property is price per sqft on similar year and style properties and of course that varies per condition but it is the quickest way i found to price things.

Everyone will have their own style, or rather a combination of different tools.

you don t want any questions later that this money is returned

@John Aaron I'm guessing that you might be using the 2-T (NC standard contract), which includes default language that the contract cannot be assigned.

@Ashley Collins , please provide a little more description of your house—#bed and #bath, style, fenced yard, square footage, and general location.

You can see if their coaching/personality style speaks to you. 

Here's a great little book on fundamentals: 'Real Estate, Quick and Easy' by Roy T.

State LL/T laws got more strict last legislative session in various ways,   and the biggest risk going forward is that we will get statewide rent control similar to OR or CA.   

I don't believe that this is a lender that just wants you to default so that they can foreclose and take the property themselves because that doesn't make financial sense for them if the numbers I put at the beginning of this reply were anything close to accurate.Doesn't make sense with the lender but we will see if it happens.fix and hold or lose your shirt and sell as is.

For example, get electrical up to date first since its a 1963-style ranch house.
