<prompt> Human: I bought a house so I could move out from my parents. The best I could afford at the time was a foreclosure and I thought I could fix it up. Turns out that is harder than it looks. I am trying to sell and even a invester referred to me by a realtor I trustshe didnt make me sign anything for commission wouldnt make an offer on it. I still have a mortgage and now it looks like I am stuck with an unsellable house that doesnt have anything working. What can I do?General location, suburban midwest USA.edit: added dollar amountsedit: removed dollar amounts, too specific  <response>: Howdy.Ok so first off, you need to read uChomper99 s comments.But look lets talk about all this it should be torn down and burned and the ground salted so nothing ever lives here again mentality.Im just over a month into a full gutremodel of a house I bought with my parents for them to live in.The previous owner lived there 40 years and it was marketed just as poorly as yours. The whole you cant fix this.. just burn it and walk away... well, you can. And if you know people in the industry you can do it for a reasonable rate.So look you have 2 options. Reach out to a carpentercontractor and find out what it would cost to do a once over to get the place at least half decent looking. Nothing big just spackle and some molding and at least someone can see hey this is a house. Couple hundred bucks.Or.. rehab it yourself and sell it. This is where you have a contactor come in and they sub out the plumbing and electrical and drywall and painting and flooring. You say you owe 45 but can sell for 20... I assume you have 15 to spend on it. Spend the 15 where they tell you and sell it for 60. Youll come out ahead.Lots of options. Yes, you can walk away and someone will get this at auction and turn it into a great house. Or you can do it yourself with contractors and make a little money.
