We want to file Chapter 7 and not 13
We owe $190,000 in mortgage liens and Zillow median estimate is $295,000. The house needs major repairs (not renovations for improvement)
1. Will the Trustee accept Zillow Zestimate as value or do I need a realtor market analysis?
2. The house easily needs $25,000 in repairs to make it presentable for sale. Our BK attorney said to get a contractor to write up necessary repairs so we can use it combined with allowable NJ exemptions to bring us to $260K range and qualify for thr Ch 7. We already passed the means test for income.
Thoughts and feedback greatly appreciated!
