Inherited a Dilapidated Property - Any Advice?

I inherited a property in an in-demand county in Colorado but there are a few issues. The property has a dilapidated 1960's single wide mobile home. There are several roof leaks that were never fixed and caused pretty extensive damage to the ceiling, ceiling tiles, carpet etc., the bathroom is a total wreck. It's in un-livable condition (for most). It also has an addition (small bedroom) built on the side. The garage is stick built but is also dilapidated. I'm guessing it's highly likely that it also has asbestos.

I don't have the time, money, or energy to clear the trailer or junk off the property. I'm considering going with a cash offer from one of those types of companies that buy in as-is condition. Does anyone have any advice? I really want this out of my life honestly. I also don't want to feel like I got totally scammed afterwards. I do realistically see that it's going to be a lot of work to get the lot cleared and a new home placed there or built.

I'm having the land and utilities professionally appraised per probate / IRS requirements, but I'm not expecting to get fair market value in the end. Any advice would be appreciated.

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...
