I am a single woman in her twenties that works all the time.
Upkeep on my home just isn’t a priority.
I also don’t notice anything wrong in my house until it is a major problem. It took years before my concern with termites was brought to my attention. It sadly was when I called a HVAC technician to do a repair. He told me that I had termites and showed me the damage in my wood. It was around the frame of my house. I panicked and called a company. They then informed me that the damage was extensive. The house was basically totaled. I asked around about fixing the termite damage and removing the termites. The costs were obscene. I realized that I didn’t want to do it in the first place either. I wanted to sell my termite damaged home and be done with it. What real estate agent would take that on? I then decided a better choice for a Jacksonville home buyer that would give me cash. A fast cash offer was the best I could do for my situation. I didn’t get a whole lot for my house. I had to downsize into a much smaller place, but I consider it a win. I got out of a horrible situation that could have gotten even worse. I left with cash in hand and I have a place to live. I will have to start saving so I can upgrade to the same level I was at. It was my own fault though. I should have taken care of my home.
