DH inherited a home from his family several years ago. The home is located in another state, a full day's drive from where we live. He started working on a renovation to get the property ready to sell and finished the tear out then his health went downhill. The home has been sitting unfinished for a long time and I want to get rid of it since we are paying utilities, insurance and HOA dues on it. Financially it's not an issue but it's annoying to continue to pour money into it every month.
Since he can no longer do any work on the house I need to figure out how to get it done long distance. It cannot be sold in the condition it's in (no bathroom fixtures or kitchen due to the tear out). He will never be able to do that work or manage contractors. I can't be down there myself since he requires someone to be with him 24/7 but could maybe get a caregiver in for a few days so I can go down there and meet with contractors. He purchased fixtures, flooring, cabinets, etc and those items are all sitting in our basement and I would have to hire movers to get all of that to the property. We don't know anyone in the area so I don't even know where to begin getting recommendations for contractors to do the work. I want the work done and the house listed for sale this year. Based on real estate data for the area it should sell within a few months if I can get it on the market.
Looking for any suggestions on how to get this done.
