At the time my husband and I were gung ho on making an addition to our property. We started the addition with another bathroom and planned on doing a bedroom and a lower living room/loft style area. We had talked to a HVAC dealer on expanding the system and an electrician about upgrading the electric panel. But, by the time it was the day to make some calls and get the project moving, my husband and I split. I ended up getting the house and I wasn’t too happy about it. I needed to sell an incomplete construction property. I didn’t want to live in that house anymore. I also didn’t want to pay to finish the HVAC and electric. Upgrading a panel is expensive. Adding more HVAC and ductwork would have been a nightmare as well. Any real estate I talked to wasn’t keen on trying to sell it incomplete. I needed to finish the project. Why should I have to do it? My husband and I were going to go halfway on it. It would have been awful to do it on my own. So I decided that I was just going to sell my Portland real estate fast for cash. With a cash offer, I didn’t need to do any more work on the house. I could leave the electric and HVAC as is. At the end of the day, I don’t know what would have been the better decision. Adding more HVAC and eclectic would have cost a lot, but maybe I could have gotten more for the house? With the Portland cash buyer it was really nice just signing papers and being done honestly.
