subject: Investors Offer Home Sellers Flexibility [print this page] Sometimes we all find ourselves in situations that require big changes in our lives. We may have to move for a new job, a family obligation or due to other circumstances. And that means we may need some fast cash as well as an opportunity to sell a home we won't need any longer. Owners in these situations often discover that a good way to sell a house quickly is to get in touch with an investor, someone who pays cash and closes quickly. Real estate investors can help you move on with your life when you have to move quickly and they usually offer to close your transaction quickly, which includes getting the paperwork done properly. As you know, that can be a time-consuming part of transaction. But even more important, they are usually prepared to pay cash. That means you won't have to wait for a buyer to get approved for a mortgage, and it's honestly the most significant time-saving feature of dealing with an investor.
Because it's my business as well, I know that other investors have personal or business reasons for buying houses, just as I do. We make business decisions and our motivations may be different than your own motivation s as a seller because generally we don't intend to live in our investment properties. Some of the houses I purchase do not need repairs or remodeling at all, but many of them do. It depends on the market conditions and the timing in my own life and business, but I decide to resell or lease each house on an individual basis. I also sell houses to tenants sometimes after they have been living in the houses for a while and made payments regularly. Real estate investors usually have quite a bit of flexibility to work with sellers and meet their needs. Flexibility is the number one reason you may want to call an investor when you want to sell a home quickly.
Fortunately, it's easy to find real estate investors in the classified ads in newspapers and online. I know quite a few investors thorough my participation in the REIA Club (Real Estate Investors Association) in my area. But you can contact this club in your area, too, to get access to people who invest in real estate for a business or a hobby. It won't be necessary to join the club yourself, just find a meeting to visit or post your house for sale on the club website and you'll get some calls for sure.
