Same age, same construction, his 200 sqft larger with AC and shed, mine recently re-roofed and new cooler.

- condition of home- does your home need any work - what is the age of the furnace/hotwater/plumbing/windows/roof/kitchen etc.....When calling families I would find out all you can.But as Valerie said - you may want to network with other buyers and give them leads and they can do the same to you or you can have multiple exit strategies so most homes will fit one model or another.

Many years ago, you could sell your personal residence ONE time in your life, at age 55 or older and take the first 125K tax free(250K if married).

This day and age is WAY above my level on techie stuff.

My 11 yr old had gone through two lenses prescriptions in one year for her vision problems that alone was over $500 out of pocket, Medicaid (Federal )is for the poverty level children.So here we have a paid insurance program limited to just children to age 18?

We saw it at the dawn of the Industrial age when people were moving from farms to factories and becoming consumers rather than producers.

Just be you - I own a real estate firm...and if anyone of my agents ever discounted a buyer by their looks or the age - I would be very upset.
