SHOULD I SELL TO AN INVESTOR?

from The Modern American Dream · host The Modern American Dream

Common reasons to sell to an investor While most people sell their home the traditional way, there are a few scenarios where selling to an investor might make the most sense. Inherited home If you’ve inherited a property from a family member and you don’t plan to live in the home, you won’t want it to sit empty for too long. Not only can a vacant home be a target for vandalism, but if you sit on the property in a fast-moving real estate market, you could be on the hook for capital gains taxes. Foreclosure If you’re behind on payments and need to sell quickly, an investor might be a good option. Disrepair If your home requires a lot of updating or repair work to be attractive to traditional buyers, it may be appealing to sell your home as-is to an investor. No financing possible If the home you’re selling doesn’t meet safety or permitting standards, most lenders won’t finance a loan for the property, which can make it hard to sell to a traditional buyer. Need timeline flexibility If you’re selling on a very specific timeline, you usually have more control over the close date with an investor, since they’re not timing a move-in date the same way a traditional buyer is. Currently in escrow If you’re trying to time a sale and a purchase at the same time and your new purchase is contingent on your old home selling, going with an investor offer can speed up the process. Relocating for work Often a job relocation requires a faster-than-average timeline. Selling to an investor can be faster than waiting for the perfect buyer. Divorce Divorce settlements require both parties to divide the assets, and selling fast and splitting proceeds can often be an easier way to go. Tenant occupied Doing repairs, taking listing photos and scheduling showings with tenants living in a house can be complicated, so people owning rental properties often turn to investors when it’s time to sell. Selling your house to an investor Even if your personal situation doesn’t fall under the common reasons listed above, you might benefit from selling a house to an investor. Here are some of the biggest benefits. No prep work With a traditional home sale, you’ll have to do a lot of preparing before you list, from cleaning and decluttering to taking listing photos and staging. Most investors care more about the financials and less about how your home looks. After all, they’re going to either turn around and quickly resell your home or renovate anyway once the deal has gone through. Note that to attract a traditional investor, you’ll still have to have your home listed on the MLS and all the major real estate sites. Be sure to include some clear photos and some terms that will attract investors — things like “fixer upper” or “needs TLC.” And keep in mind that there will still be showings, negotiating on price, and probably an inspection, just like if you were selling to a traditional buyer. If you sell to an INVESTOR, you don’t have to list your home on the market at all. That’s what makes selling to an INVESTOR so convenient. You’ll typically receive an offer as soon as a few DAYS after submitting a request or within a few WEEKS. And since an INVESTOR has no emotional connection to the home, there is usually less back and forth than there is with a traditional buyer.
