By the time I contacted a cash home buyer, I was extremely stressed and frustrated.
I’d attempted to evict the tenant from my rental house in Jacksonville, Florida, without success.
When the tenant initially moved into the home, all of the appliances were brand new. I’d recently renovated the kitchen and both of the bathrooms. I had new floors installed throughout the house and replaced most of the windows. The heating and cooling system was less than two years old. The lawns were mowed, the shrubs trimmed and the gardens weeded. There was a fresh coat of paint on the interior and exterior of the house. The tenant completely neglected lawn care. I attempted to mow the lawn at one point and found it littered with garbage. There were bags of garbage and empty dog food cans stacked on the porch. A stipulation of the rental agreement was no pets. After about six months, the rent was consistently several weeks later. After a year, they quit paying altogether. A glimpse into the house showed me that it was a disaster. If I had managed to get the tenant to vacate, I would have needed to clean, repair and renovate. The smell was horrendous. There was no way to sell the house by conventional means. I certainly couldn’t show such a disaster to a potential buyer. I doubted a buyer could secure financing from the bank. I simply wanted to walk away from the responsibility as swiftly as possible. A cash home buyer was the ideal solution. I filled out an online contact form and had an offer within twenty-four hours. Once I agreed to the terms and signed the paperwork, the closing was completed in under two weeks.
