We have a house that does need some repairs and if we put it on the market the buyers (if any were to come, due to the market right now) would want us to either lower our price or fix them ourselves, but due to finance concerns we cannot afford that. We also do not have the time to sit on the house while it's on the market for anywhere from 6 months to 2 years (that's how slowly houses are selling in my area). We are thinking of either doing a short sale or working with one of the companies that does the "sell in 7 days" where they have a tenant move in and pay rent to cover the mortgage payments. We are current on our payments, but we are needing to relocate. Does that sound like an okay idea or does anybody have any other good ideas for our family?
