I have a century home that I just noticed some of the wood joists in the basement are beginning to look eaten.

Looking to update a kitchen with new cabinets , flooring, and countertops in a 100 year old duplex. if you have renovated a kitchen in a rental property and can recommend materials that hold up best in rentals, I woul...

Unless you just strip the seller's equity and get the deal of the century, what you can get for $6500 will be SCARY and NOT worth owning.  

Market is high here in Phoenix but has runway left, at least 2 years from multiple sources, you can do that Mid-Century Modern Re-position here without breaking the law, raise rents and refinance the new equity out.    

I'm with Century 21.

The reason that good agents have earned 5-6% on home sales for about a century is very similar to why attorneys are so expensive - to put it very generally, for a 5-digit price, they're protecting you from 6+ digits of loss/risk. 99% of people would probably do best to never represent themselves in a court case, and it's not too different in SoCal real estate (other states may be much more friendly to FSBO's.)Anyhow, you shouldn't have any problem selling it yourself, that's the easy part.

My home is now worth nearly $600K because it’s a turn of the century house in a very desirable location in a popular tourist town.

It's a home built a bit more than a century ago.  

Remember that the deal of the century comes along about once a week (or so I've heard).

One is Century 21 and the other is local.
