A little over a year ago, I inherited a home in Colorado Springtimes… Although I had never been to the area, I was excited by the chance… I had only met my Uncle once and was surprised that he left me his house… When I visited, I was not thrilled by the condition of the property.
The home was severely rundown.
The roof had obviously been leaking for quite some time and caused considerable water damage to the ceilings, walls and floors. There was mold growth, a musty smell and signs of rodent infestation. All of the appliances were aged and in need of replacement. There were many broken windows and I knew the electrical panel, plumbing and Heating and A/C would never meet code requirements, and plus, there was a considerable amount of junk and garbage inside and outside of the house. I could barely walk through some of the rooms. I was not interested in keeping the house. I had no desire to sink time and cash into cleaning and repairs. I also had no idea how to sell the home in its up-to-date condition. A buddy of mine recommended finding a cash home buyer; Since I live out of state, I was not sure how to handle the process. The cash home patron I spoke with was super helpful and expertiseable, and my great friend and I worked everything out via email and were able to schedule a virtual tour of the house. They gave an offer on the home in “as-is” condition. I didn’t even need to disinfect out the garbage. They also inspected the paperwork so that everything proceeded smoothly and quickly.
