Any ideas on how to make money work for you?

Invest in pet cemeteries. In this country a dead dog is grieved over more than a dead human being.

Live in the inherited house. Take the equity out the house if it is free and clear or if it has a small mortgage amount; buy other houses with the equity and rent those out. Selling now is bad news; rent then sell when the market is better.

Ideally you want your property to provide an income now while still being an asset for the future.
So the right choice financially would be to rent it out, to rent somewhere cheaper yourself, so that you have a net income, but the house is there to sell when you finally retire.
If you want to live in the house but still use it as an asset for investment now, then you could purchase another property as a buy-to-let, using your home as security for that loan.
Good luck!

Once you sell the house you will responsible for inheritance tax. I don't know how much, it differs from state. If the house is paid for or has a low balance. I would finance it to an amount that I felt comfortable paying with a low fixed interest rate. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) are so unpredictable and fixed rates are about 6%. Than with the cash put 6 months work of bills in checking account. If you work for company that has 401K put money in their for retirement and IROTH accounts thru a bank. If you have children start up a savings account for college. With all that stated above when you go to do your taxes it will help you extremely because you will be writing the taxes off your house and with the accounts I mentioned it's tax deductible.
Now with the proceeds you can invest in rental properties or fix r uppers. Remember with these properties once you sell them you will be responsible for capitol gain tax. So you would have to keep investing into properties with proceeds. Put the proceeds into more real estate or the principle of your mortgage. If in Delaware or New Jersey shoot me an e-mail I will be more than happy to help.
