If you own a home in Western New York, you already know properties here can come with “extras” attached—homeowners associations, solar panel leases, septic systems, wells, or even old underground oil tanks.

Don't ignore everything just because you're selling your home "as is." Cash buyers usually buy homes as they are, but a little planning can make a big difference in the price you end up paying. If you want to sell your home quickly for cash, a few hours of strategic cleaning and organizing can put thousands more in your pocket.

Suddenly inheriting a property can be both a blessing and a challenge. While the idea of owning another home might seem exciting, the reality can be more complex.
