Can you buy a house with foundation problems?

Yes. Foundation issues are one of the most common reasons sellers can't list traditionally — agents won't take the listing, or buyers can't get financing on the property. We buy with foundation problems factored into our offer. No repairs needed from you.

Can you buy a house with mold?

Yes. Mold is a common condition we purchase in. We factor remediation costs into our offer — you don't hire a remediation company, you don't disclose to a picky buyer's inspector, you just sell it.

Does the house need to be cleaned out before selling?

No. Take what you want, leave the rest. Furniture, personal items, debris — we handle it all after closing. This is especially valuable for estate sales and distressed properties where clearing out the house is a burden.

Will the condition of my house affect whether you'll buy it?

The condition affects our offer amount — not whether we buy. We've purchased homes that hadn't been updated since the 1970s, homes with major structural issues, homes condemned by the city. If there's value in the property or the land, we can make it work.

Why is a cash offer lower than market value?

Our offer reflects the as-is value of your property. We calculate the after-repair value (what it would sell for fully fixed), then subtract repair costs, holding costs, and a profit margin. The result is a fair offer given the property's actual condition — not exploitation. Sellers who understand this math consistently feel better about the number they receive.

Sell Your House As-Is — No Repairs, No Cleaning, Cash Offer

Q: Can you buy a fire-damaged house?

Yes. We buy fire-damaged properties regularly. Even partial or total fire damage doesn't disqualify the sale — we evaluate the land value and reconstruction potential and make an offer accordingly.

Conditions We Buy — No List Too Long

Traditional buyers need financing. Financing requires inspections. Inspections kill deals when there are major issues. We're cash buyers — no financing, no inspection contingencies, no deal-killing surprises. We account for the property condition upfront and the deal moves forward.

Foundation Problems

Settling, cracking, shifting — foundation issues kill traditional sales. Banks won't finance them. We buy foundation-damaged properties and factor the repair into our offer. No engineering report required from you.

Fire or Water Damage

Partial fire damage, smoke damage, flood damage, water intrusion — we buy it. We've purchased homes where the entire first floor was damaged. Land value plus structure potential is what we evaluate.

Mold or Environmental Issues

Mold remediation can cost $10,000–$50,000+. You don't have to do any of it. We price in the remediation cost and buy the property. No environmental disclosures to scare off buyers, no remediation companies to manage.

Code Violations

Unpermitted work, building code violations, city citations — we've seen it all. These issues make traditional sales complicated. For us, they're just part of the as-is condition we account for in the offer.

Hoarder Houses

Extreme clutter, accumulated belongings, difficult cleanup situations — take what you want and leave everything else. We clear the property after closing. This is one of the most common situations we purchase.

Major Deferred Maintenance

Old roof, outdated HVAC, plumbing issues, electrical problems — decades of deferred maintenance doesn't disqualify your property. We factor all of it in and buy it as-is.

Why As-Is Offers Are Lower Than Market — And Why That's Fair

We get asked about this often. Here's the honest answer:

After Repair Value (ARV) — what the house would sell for fully repaired
minus  Cost of Repairs — our contractor estimate (foundation, roof, systems, etc.)
minus  Holding Costs — taxes, insurance, financing (8–12% of ARV)
minus  Our Minimum Profit — what sustains the business
= Your Cash Offer

The offer reflects real math, not exploitation. Compare this to listing with an agent — you'd still pay 5–6% commission, fund the repairs yourself first, wait 60–90 days, and risk the deal falling through on inspection. For a distressed property, the net difference is often smaller than sellers expect.

"The house had foundation issues and three agents told me I couldn't sell it without spending $45,000 to fix it. NowCashOffer made me an offer the same day I called, we closed in 15 days, and I didn't do a single repair. The offer was fair given the situation."

As-Is Sale Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Selling as-is means the buyer purchases the property in its current condition — no repairs, no upgrades, no cleaning required from the seller. The buyer (us) factors the condition into the offer price. You sell it exactly the way it is today — nothing changes before closing.

Yes. Foundation issues are one of the most common reasons sellers can't list traditionally — agents won't take it, or buyers can't get financing. We buy with foundation problems factored into the offer. No repair required from you before closing.

Yes. We buy fire-damaged, smoke-damaged, and flood-damaged properties. Even significant damage doesn't disqualify the sale — we evaluate the land value and reconstruction potential and make an offer based on real numbers.

No. Take what you want, leave the rest. Furniture, personal belongings, junk, debris — all of it becomes our problem after closing. This is especially helpful for estate sales and hoarding situations where cleanup is overwhelming.

Our offer reflects the as-is value — we subtract repair costs, holding costs, and a profit margin from the after-repair value. But compare the net: a traditional sale on a distressed property means you fund the repairs first, wait 60–90 days, pay 5–6% agent commission, and risk the deal dying on inspection. The real gap is usually smaller than sellers expect.

Very few. As long as there is value in the property or the land it sits on, we can typically make it work. Even homes that have been condemned by the city may have land value we can work with. The best way to find out is to call us at 254-505-3600 — we give you a straight answer.
