These “we buy houses” websites claim that you can sell your house in 10 days and be done with the entire transaction.

Imagine that: call, contract, close, cash in hand in less than 10 days.

Can it be possible in this market?

The Secret to the 10 day house sale.

Let me fill you in on the secret to selling your house in 10 days.

Price or terms.

Before I explain how that works, let me share with you two reasons normal real estate transactions take so long

1.  Price at market level. If you want top market dollar to sell your house fast, you will not sell your house in 10 days.  Those days are over.  Bidding wars for houses are rare.  Your house is like 200 others on the market that people can look at.  It might take 30-120 days for a buyer to even choose your house.

2. Banking delays. If your buyer needs a bank loan, you’ll have to wait 45-60 days in current market conditions for a bank approval.  And sometimes, banks will not loan on a house even if the buyer agrees to a price.  I’ve got second hand stories of banks killing an agreement because they don’t like the price.

To close your transaction quickly, you’ll need to avoid the banks and have a cash buyer.

How to sell your house in 10 days.

Cash home buyers are professionals who either buy houses to fix and resell them, or buy houses to hold them as rentals.

These cash home buyers are looking for returns on their investment, not a home to live in.

For any of these “we buy houses” people to deploy their cash, it’s got to make a good return.

Thus, you as the seller must price your house according to the formulas they need to make a good return.

If everyone around you is asking for $100,000, and you will sell your house for $60,000, you’ll sell your house in 10 days, depending on the condition of the property.  By the time the house is fixed up and resold, the investor may only make 10-15% return after expenses.

If everyone around you asks for $100,000 and you will sell for $90,000, you’ll not sell your house in 10 days to anyone in this industry for cash.

Terms

If you will be flexible and allow for terms such as taking over payments or holding a note for the equity, you can get a much higher price and close your transaction in 10 days or less.

The seller of one house I dealt with was willing to wait 5 years for her funds – she got an above market price in less than 10 days because she offered terms.

Another house seller let my buyer to take over the mortgage payments and that gave her a closing in less than 14 days.

To Sell Your House in 10 days

If you want to sell your house in 10 days or less, these are some of the criteria you’ll have to consider to help make it work.

In some markets, these will be resold to first time home buyers who often are using FHA or VA loans to secure their house.

One reason people come to us to sell their ugly house fast is that their outdated or ugly house will not pass an FHA or VA inspection, or even inspection for a section 8 rental.  While this is not an article focused on such inspections requirements, you have to consider this in your pricing.

How FHA inspections influence your selling price

A seller called me wanting to sell his ugly inherited house fast for a certain price.

A partner went out to look at the house to determine if we could buy this ugly house fast.

The end goal was to buy this house fast, fix it up and resell it to a first time home buyer.  In this current market, that often means an FHA insured loan, or a VA loan.

Going through some of the requirements of such inspections, the partner came up with a list of expected repairs to pass that inspection to a future buyer: $30,000.

The seller was not prepared to see that his house needed $30,000 in repairs.  But many of those repairs would be needed to meet FHA requirements for first time home buyers.

To make a deal work, this seller would have to come off his asking price by $20,000, because of the additional repairs and ugrades required by the needs of an FHA inspection.  He knew this ugly inherited house needed work, but he wasn’t aware of the extent of work needed.

FHA inspection requirements force a price change.  The seller could choose to fix up his own house and sell it for full market value – or simply settle for the lower price and walk away from it.

In this market, FHA and VA will impact the price at which you can sell your house to an investor.

If you want to get rid of your house that has too many repairs, call us during normal business hours, eastern time 804-915-9475.

You’ve tried to sell your Virginia house fast via traditional means:

• Perhaps with a realtor
• Perhaps on your own as a FISBO.
• Maybe tried a few “We buy houses people.”

But the house won’t sell for the price you are asking.

I know the frustration that has caused.  I’ve bought houses that I couldn’t resell.

Each month making payments on a mortgage on a house I couldn’t sell fast.

Each month worrying about vandals damaging the house while I was waiting for the house to sell fast.

Some of these were ugly houses that I wanted to sell.

Some of these were houses I had fixed up.

I know what an emotional challenge it is to sell a house fast that won’t sell.

Your Solution:  Fix the price.

When it comes to houses, that’s the way to get it sold.  Change your price.

Make the price attractive to investors who will buy it.

Make the price attractive to underprice your competition.

Let me give you an example of a Free and Clear Property.

This is a property that doesn’t have any mortgages or liens on it.

Perhaps the house was one you inherited.

Perhaps it’s been vacant for a few years draining cash from you with utilites, insurance and taxes.

Perhaps it needs serious updating and you don’t want to do it.

How could you turn this money drain into a cash producing assett without the headaches of being a landlord?

Turn it into an Real Estate Asset!

Here is how.

By selling on terms, you can turn your money drain into a cash producer each and every month, without the headaches of being a landlord.

Here is an example from a recent purchase we made.

Seller owned the house free and clear, but was a long distance landlord.

The tenants were leaving and she didn’t want to find new ones or have to repair the property.

We bought the house on the following terms.

We’d pay her $450 a month for 8 years.

She keeps monthly cash flow without the headaches of long distance ownership.

Perhaps you have a house free and clear that you’d like to turn into a cash producer.

There was some nervousness in her voice.  She later said that she had never spoken to one of those “we buy houses” people.  This was her first call.

“Do we buy houses in Virginia?”

She had found

• my We Buy Houses in Virginia website,
• watched the video that explains how we buy houses,
• and now she’d given me a call.

“Do we buy houses in Virginia?” she asked.

We buy houses in Virginia

I told her how our company buys houses in Virginia and that we’ve been buying houses for years.

She discussed her situation with me that had prompted her search for “we buy houses Virginia.”

This led to a property visit with one of my contractors.

We agreed on a terms deal to buy her house in Virginia, where she’d be receiving payments over 10 years.

That was a solution that helped us be the “we buy houses Virginia” people for her.

Did you inherit a house?

Selling an inherited house can be simple or difficult.

It is often the most controversial part of dealing with the estate, particularly if there are many other beneficiaries involved.  One house I worked on had at least 17, and about 5 of them could not be found.  You may even have to deal with the tax or taxes on an inherited house.

If there is a Will directing what is to happen to the estate matters are more straightforward.

However, if the deceased is intestate, things are often more protracted and complicated.

Keep open and clear communication between all parties from the start.  It sounds simple but emotions may be running high particularly if the dead person was a close relative and perhaps the inherited property was the “family home”.

To sell an inherited property it is wise to establish what each party needs and reach a clear collective agreement as to whether to sell an inherited property and if so at what price and what the ideal timescale should be.  This discussion will avoid discord further down the line and help to resolve matters smoothly and amicably.

If there is a need to sell the inherited property a cash buyer could be a good solution.  True there will be a compromise on price but a guaranteed quick sale will often outweigh any shortfall.
