All,
I'll be re-locating from Fort Worth, TX to Minneapolis, MN sometime
in the next year, and have to sell my current house (I don't expect to
make much off of the sale), and buy a new house in MN.
First, do most people move into temporary housing and wait for their
old house to sell, or do they just jump in and buy a new house right
away (essentially having 2 mortgages)? Will banks even allow this?
I plan on using a realty company, but once I'm gone, will they take
care of the house (i.e. mow the lawn, check in from time to time, etc)
or do I've to find another company to do that? I'm concerned that
the house may need to stay on the market for a while, and feel like it
would be unwise to just let it sit there vacant while I'm 1000 miles
away.
Also, when the house sells, would I've to fly back to sign the
papers?
Also, has anyone had any experiences with company relocation
assistance? What can I expect ( I'm a senior software engineer)? Do
they usually pay some or all of the realtor cost?
I'm hoping someone in this newsgroup has gone through this before and
can give me some pointers.
Thanks,
Dan
