I Inherited A House, What To Do Next?
Here’s a few important considerations to help you make the right decision to selling inherited property to family.
1) Make sure the mortgage is paid.
This may sound obvious, but if the person who left you a property also had a mortgage (unless the property has no mortgage and has been paid off, which is great!), you will pay it (assuming you want to keep the property). Many banks, while others may require you to refinance into a new loan, may allow you to assume the loan. If you’re not qualifying for a new loan, renting might not be an option.
2) The investment is only as good as the manager.
If it’s not the best use of your time to deal with agents, repairs, tenants, rent collection and all the complexities of property management, hire a professional to help or cash out now. Some people who inherit homes decide to keep the house for extra income, and rent it. That is definitely a great plan. You just need to be prepared to manage the Sacramento property and the hassles of tenants and toilets that can go with.
3) Property ownership costs money.
It’s unusual to see a beautifully preserved home. Many Sacramento inherited homes require significant improvements.
Consider hiring a qualified property manager to provide you with a detailed summary of what to do in the next five years, along with estimated costs. Surprises are very, very onerous.
