โCan I even sell my house in this condition?โ
Youโd be surprised how often we hear that.
A leaking roof. Old electrical. Plumbing problems. A kitchen that hasnโt been touched in 40 years. Maybe the basement has issues too.
Then the estimates start coming inโฆ
$15,000 here.
$8,000 there.
Another $20,000 somewhere else.
Pretty soon youโre wondering whether you own a house or a subscription service for contractors. ๐
Hereโs the important part:
You donโt necessarily have to fix everything before you sell.
Since 2015, David and Sufey at Philly Home Investor have purchased hundreds of properties, including Philadelphia homes needing significant repairs.
We buy properties as-is, which means we're comfortable looking at the house exactly as it sits today.
But selling directly isn't automatically the right answer for everyone. Sometimes making the repairs and listing makes financial sense. Sometimes doing a few repairs makes sense. And sometimes putting another $50,000 into a property you already want to sell makes very little sense.
Thatโs why weโd rather start with the situation than the sales pitch.
What does the house need? What are the repairs likely to cost? What are your options? And what will you actually walk away with?
If you have a property that needs more work than you want to take on, send us a message.
Weโve probably seen worse. ๐
And if we can help, weโll tell you how.
