How do I know if my house is Historical?


Every county and city in America has their own governing bodies that rule what parts of the city are used for what particular purpose. Some commercial, some industrial, most residential and then you have the lonely, often forgot about historical. Historical buildings, structures and homes are very unique and valuable to a community because that is where some heritage comes from for your particular area. It's definitely nifty to check out those buildings that were built in the 1800's or early 1900's because of the detailed craftsmanship and other reasons. But what happens when your house you live in falls under that category of historical and you are trying to sell your house fast for cash in Nashville, TN? Well let's answer this!
So if your house is historical, chances are that it is over 100 years old or getting pretty close to that elusive century mark. When you get toward that century mark, the city typically puts a historical connotation on your property, letting everyone know that it is a part of a historical district.
But what happens if your house is falling apart in Tennessee and you need to sell it because you cant afford to fix it up?
Well, quite simply, the city will force you to rehab it. You cannot keep it run down or old looking. You have to keep it updated. If, for example, a smaller house that is falling apart and needs to be torn down because there is no saving it can often be difficult to accomplish because the city has a rigorous process for getting that historic tag removed for you to tear down that house. Without that tag removal, anything labeled as historic CANNOT be demolished because it holds historical value of some kind to the city. So if you struggle with getting that tag removed, don't worry! I know of investors who will say, "we buy any house for cash no matter it's condition in Memphis, TN!" They will help get you out of that sticky situation and get you on to your next adventure!
