    House is in Wheat Ridge just west of Sheridan Blvd built in 1942. Many houses being bought and scraped for new construction in the area due to the "revitalization" of the area.

    My house needs:

    1) A new sewer tie in VERY soon as it looks like I have dirt coming in to the drain sink in basement from the pipe. Tree roots are the cause I am sure. (I will have to go all the way to the street tie in for this repair)

    2) A new furnace. My last furnace repair a couple of years ago the guy could have said no on the repair due to cracked heat exchangers.

    3) Bathroom and kitchen cast iron drain pipes are in need of replacement with new plastic as they are about rusted through.

    4) Needs foundation repair and sealing work as well. (Father and Uncle installed sprinkler heads next to foundation walls and years off too much water next to foundation has caused issues)

    5) Much of the electrical work in attic feeding house first floor needs "worked on" to bring within code compliance. (Father adding outlets years ago and wrong gauge of wire for some circuits splice boxes too full etc)

    In a nutshell considering all the houses bought for scrapes in the area how hard is it to sell a house as is and still come out of it with a reasonable sale price as (without getting into my credit specifics I cover all my bills but could not risk adding more to my debt loading but do not have the ability to cover a sewer line repair especially to the tie in with current finances)

    I'm of a mind to sell and use proceeds to pay off current debt. (Home Equity loan and credit cards) and then rent for a while but I get sticker shock just looking at that possibility.
