We bought the stair tops from Lowes and had them delivered to our house.

If it does go to probate, hopefully your brothers and you can amicably go the informal route vs formal (I've worked with families in both when buying properties out of probate and informal is FAR easier).Since there's no debt on the house, maybe you could sell with financing or maybe you could even buy out your brothers with financing -- that way you maintain ownership and just pay them a monthly amount.

Maybe just try that and explain that you need some credible house to tie them to.

I am currently looking to Purchase and Rehab a House in the North Dallas and DFW areas.I am eager to Network with fellow Investors and Professionals in the area to explore Opportunities for Collaboration.

Theming can be $5-10,000 per bedroom (includes whole house decor, so a 5 bedroom could be $50,000 for the entire home furniture) depending on your imagination and quality.

I fear the lawyers will become wealthy over this litigation...Overall, it's an interesting "solution" to the problem of foreign investment in real estate and the lack of adequate housing for the population. 

When did the HELOC on my house with ADU, the first appraiser used option one and I demanded a new appraisal where they would give me a flat value.

We had to bring the 1925 house to 2023 code which involved un-installing 26 windows that were already nicely installed (in appearance) in the house, reframing them to 2023 standards (at the time) which also involved strapping the bottom of the wood framing with metal straps (mind you this all after we had already completed the inside renovation).  

I plan to purchase a primary residence, multi-family home (2-5 units, 'house-hack'). 

Usually in the year following your purchase, the property appraiser will reevaluate the house based on the new sales price.
