<prompt> Human: My sister and I inherited a house together near a beach community In the USA, California from my father who has passed away about a year and a half ago. I was interested in renting it out great market for it but never happened because she wanted to wait before doing anything... However, its now a year and a half later and she now wants to buy the house from me for the price my dad bought it a while ago. Both of us are not currently living in the house and she wants to move in. So two questions...1 Ive been splitting mortage, utilities and taxes on the house and wanted to see if it is unfair to request payback on my half the taxes, mortage etc. since Ive basically been waiting for her to allow me to make a move.2 Should I even sell my half in this market? Should I get an appraiser before selling? I am working full-time and am renting a room in a house currently the house is 2 hrs from me, is it worth fighting to hold onto the investment or should I just take the money and run and invest?Thank you for any input, I used to ask my dad these things but now I dont have anyone to ask.  <response>: You should get it appraised and sell it for half the appraisal. Its not fair for you to make her pay previous payments.
