Sell your Milpitas house for cash, as it is.
Milpitas grew up around the old Ford plant, and its older neighborhoods are full of 1950s and 60s ranches. Newer tracts and townhouses fill in the rest. As-is sales here tend to be the older houses that went straight from the first owner to a long string of tenants.

What's different about selling in Milpitas
The local rules that show up in a Milpitas sale, in plain English.
Transfer tax
Santa Clara County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price. Milpitas has no separate city transfer tax, so the total is the county's $1.10 per $1,000.
If the house is rented
Most rentals here fall under the statewide Tenant Protection Act, which caps yearly rent increases and requires a just cause to end most tenancies after a year. Selling doesn't end a lease. The buyer takes it over, so have the lease and the current rent handy.
Worth knowing in Milpitas
The Sunnyhills neighborhood went up in the 1950s for workers at the old Ford plant, and many of those houses still have original systems under newer finishes. They're a common as-is sale here.
