My home sale nightmare. Advice please!

I’m selling the home I grew up in because it’s too much just for me. It is an older home with a couple of minor issues and not much has been updated. I don’t have the time or money to address those things much less anything coming from an actual inspection. I thought shopping around for cash buyers and selling as-is would be the easy route to go instead of listing it.

It has been a nightmare! I’m on my 5th contract. Seems like these companies are either shady or incompetent. I know this will be a project with a lower profit margin but I thought there would be takers that buy in such bulk. Am I looking for a unicorn that doesn’t exist? Should I just go ahead and list it?

1st buyer - Claimed they were scared off by a water leak issue in a back storage room in the basement. I countered with an assessment and quote from an experienced foundation expert and then they claimed they didn’t have any investors interested in that area anymore.

2nd buyer - Claimed basement kitchen wasn’t to code and would cost too much to address.

3rd buyer - Investment partner denied the purchase and buyer has tried twice to get me to let her find other partners but I feel it will be more of the same.

4th buyer - Lender won’t approve that high of material costs. This buyer also wants me to let them find other contractors and lenders.

5th buyer - Waiting on this inspection period but not holding my breath.

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...
