subject: Seek Out A Real Estate Investor To Buy Your Home [print this page]


From time to time we all get into situations that require big changes. Sometimes we have to move away for a new job or a family obligation. And sometimes we just need some fast cash. Homeowners who find themselves these situations often find that the best way to sell a home quickly is to call a real estate investor for an offer. There's no doubt that investors can help you move along in your process of making changes. They can usually close fast because they have everyone they need to get the legal documents completely properly, which can be a time-consuming part of the home sale process. But more importantly, they usually pay cash, meaning they don't have to apply for a home mortgage and wait for approval. That is probably the most important of the time-saving feature of dealing with an investor.

Real estate investors have their own reasons for wanting to buy homes, and since these are business decisions their motivations may be different than your own as a homeowner. I buy and sell numerous homes per year that I don't intend to live in myself. These homes are inventory in my business. Some of them are good candidates for remodeling, meaning they are structurally solid but need some repairs, new carpeting, new electrical fixtures, appliances and of course a new coat of paint on all the walls. And some of the homes I purchase are not really in need of repairs or remodeling at all. Depending on the market and the timing in my own business, I resell some of the homes I buy and others I lease to tenants. In some cases I also sell homes to tenants after they have been living in the homes for several months. Everybody's circumstances are different, but real estate investors have quite a bit of flexibility in working with most sellers and also with buyers. Their flexibility is what can really make a differe nce when you want to sell a house quickly.

You can easily find real estate investors in the yellow pages and in the classified ads in newspapers and online. Of course I am well-acquainted with quite a few investors thorough my participation in the REIA Club (Real Estate Investors Association) in my area. You can find this club in your area, too, and that will give you access to dozens of people who invest in real estate as their main or as a sideline business. You won't need to join the club yourself, just show up at a meeting or post on their website and you'll get calls, I guarantee it!
