Depending on the age of the property, you may need to reserve large amounts for maintenance.

I'm not 100% anti-condo.

Age, Incomes, Gender and migration or flight from the areaEmployment- Is it near my market area and will it support an economic base.Infrastructure- How is the status of the local community.

Was it age or was it a breakdown in the system?

My problem is that in comparison, downstairs looks "aged".

Many counties have their tax and courthouse documents online, and you can find out things like the square footage, beds, baths, age, construction info, etc.

Put down some anti slip strips, a non slip coating etc.

I don't think your age has anything to do with whether or not a bank will take you seriously.

I was not in a hurry, and they were difficult homes to sell with unique features.It sounds like 5% is the typical rate (It is a violation of the Sherman Anti-trust Act to say there is a going rate.) in your area, and you are offering less than the traditional 50-50 split for the buyers agent.If your market is red hot, you should be able to sell this property FSBO.
