Advice from Amy Dickinson.
: My good friends want to downsize for retirement, but the major repairs needed on their house will prevent them from making enough on the sale to buy their next place.
I’m deeply concerned that they will end up struggling to rent the unit if it appears unsafe, plus losing money on the ultimate sale – and it will all be because of my suggestion.I believe they’re cutting too many corners. I really want them to succeed with this, and I also don’t want them to resent taking my advice. Should I butt in?You were brainstorming with your friends and offered your advice. I assume that other ideas were bandied about during this brainstorming session.
If they don’t follow safety guidelines, they might have a bigger problem on their hands than creating an unappealing rental unit. The rental unit needs to be safe for occupancy. Doing things “right” now will also avoid repair problems later, and will increase the overall value of their property.
