I haven’t lived in Indianapolis, Indiana for years.
- I moved right when I finished college and have lived in another state since.
I didn’t miss that location at all. My father recently passed away and I was forced to come back. I found out in the will that I inherited his home. So I was sitting on Indiana real estate and had no clue what to do. A lot of people recommended renting it out. When a bunch of family members wanted to rent the home I knew it was going to be trouble. I don’t work with my family. The reason is that it is so easy for someone to take advantage. If I rented to a cousin who decided not to pay, what could I do? Could I really evict my cousin? So I decided that I was going to sell my Indiana real estate fast. A lot of family members then wanted to buy it. I knew everyone would see the listing price and have something to say. Everyone would want a “family deal” and I would get hardly any money for it. So due to family circumstances, I sold my Indianapolis, IN home fast for cash. The cash offer was definitely the highest price I was going to get. It also came with the benefit that nobody from home knew what I sold it for. Nobody knew I was going to sell it. The process took days and I didn’t even have to clean out my father’s home. I took care of everything during the long weekend. Then a few months later when the family asked what I was going to do about the home, I got to say it was sold already.
