Try a Real Estate Investor for a Quick Sale
The whole transaction can potentially be closed within a week and you will have cash for your property if you have equity left.
Sell Home Fast – Baltimore MD: What is a real estate investor and why would you use one to sell your house? A real estate investor is someone who buys properties in any condition and intends to make a profit from them. It’s their way of turning a profit on an investment. Some of them buy houses and fix them up a little, then sell them again for a price higher than what they paid for it. Others buy houses, fix them up and rent them out to create a positive cash flow situation. They might sell the property eventually, but are using the renters to help them through the waiting period until the real estate market improves and they can sell the house for a reasonable profit.
If you are selling your house, you can call a real estate investor and ask them for an offer. You can see what they would give you for it. It’s likely to be about 70 to 80% of the current market value. The investor will offer you this amount because they are interested in buying your house just the way it is. The whole transaction can potentially be closed within a week and you will have cash for your property if you have equity left. The lender will be paid off with the proceeds of the sale before you receive the balance.
“Most real estate investors know what has to be done to make the transaction legal.”
The house will not bring the asking price you might have thought you wanted for it if you sell to an investor, but there are definitely advantages to taking this route. You will not have the expenses of repairing or replacing anything in the house. It is bought ‘as is.’ You will stop paying mortgage payments, insurance, and taxes possibly even before the next month’s payments are due.
Real estate investors don’t charge fees or commissions. That’s definitely a plus. You can add that amount back into your profit calculations. You don’t have to be an expert in real estate laws or even know which documents should be filed with the county. Most real estate investors know what has to be done to make the transaction legal. Call an investor for an offer. You’ll be asked a few questions and will be given a dollar amount that you can accept or reject. If you accept, a contract will be given to you to sign. Be sure you understand what’s in it, sign it, and look forward to the closing in just a few days.
