Do I sell the house or rent it to get more income for my future house?

Hi everyone! My father unfortunately passed away pretty recently and he left his belongings, which include a house that's probably close to 180k. It's a 1 story house with a basement and a very long backyard which includes trees, a swamp, a bonfire place, and a small river. His house is a far away for me to live in and has many factors to why I don't want to live there. He smoked cigarettes and Marijuana in the house, the kitchen is outdated/ not modern, the tile probably needs to be redone, and the bathroom ceiling is peeling so probably a roof leak. He also never fixed/replaced things so it might need a new furnace in 1-2 years, the water heater is broken, and the a/c is old. So my dad owed 40k on his house and it's going through probate. I may be getting ahead of myself but if I were to "take over the payments" with a refinancing or do whatever, would it be better to rent it or sell it? I think maybe rent it because I could get extra income each month for my future residence but I'm not sure, thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
