With my husband’s father buying a new mini home, he now has to sell his current home in six months or risk paying two mortgage payments. Now this isn’t a good idea for anyone, but a man living on a fixed income this could be devastating. To help sell his home faster, he has decided to do a few little fix ups. Not a whole lot, but just enough to make the place look better. He is planning on painting throughout the home, replacing the carpets in all the bedrooms and changing the bathroom fixtures. Although he won’t be doing a lot of renovations, the little stuff that he does get done will help him to sell the place faster and hopefully help him get the money he wants for it.

My father in law just purchased a two bedroom mini home. Because he currently lives in a four bedroom house with a full basement and double car garage, he is going to need to down size quite a bit. So he has been trying to give us most of his stuff. He has given us a china cabinet, a couple of beds, a dresser and some air tools. We actually had to stop him from giving us almost everything he owns. He was trying to give us a couch and chair set, but since we just purchased a couch we told him to sell it. I understand that he is excited about moving, but he has to remember that he is going to need furniture in his new home.
