If you're a homeowner or want to be one Sunday, there will likely be a time you want or need to sell your real estate.

So it's essential to understand various ways to sell a home and their costs,

so you do it as profitably as possible.

Today's topic was inspired by a recent question from Scott in Florida who says

I live in an old house on the Gulf Coast that needs a lot of repairs like a new

roof windows and upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms.

I've paid for many updates over the years, but can't afford more.

I'm considering selling the property and downsizing by building a smaller new home.

Since I don't have much cash or home equity, what's the cheapest way to sell my house and get the best price.

Thanks so much for your question, Scott.

I can appreciate how stressful living in a home that needs

costly repairs must be, especially around the Gulf Coast, which has had so many terrible storms and just flooding

that's happened.

There are just probably a lot of people that are in your same situation around the Gulf.

Fortunately, you have several good options when you're ready to move.

So this podcast will review the pros and cons of various ways to sell a home, even if it needs work, you can't afford or don't have the time to do.
