I own numerous rental properties throughout the city of Jacksonville, Florida. Finding decent renters is difficult. Too often, tenants simply quit paying rent. Completing the eviction process is stressful and time-consuming. Renters who aren’t living up to their financial responsibilities typically aren’t taking good care of the property. When I finally get access to the unit, I expect to find extensive damage. Broken windows, holes in the drywall, ruined appliances, stained sinks, clogged tubs and a lot of garbage are common discoveries. It’s shocking the items that renters leave behind. I’ve found birth certificates, driver’s licenses, medication, family photo albums, tools and even vehicles abandoned at the property. If the mess and damage is at a reasonable level, I hire a contractor for repairs and a professional cleaning crew. I can then list the property for rent again and hope to recover the investment. However, if the repairs prove too expensive and time-consuming, I reach out to a local cash home buyer. I’ve had very good results with selling homes for cash. I can sell the home as-is and transfer ownership in under two weeks. I don’t need to worry about the property meeting local safety or building codes. I don’t even need to haul away the garbage or clean out the refrigerator. I can complete nearly the entire process online. I use a contact form to secure an offer. Once I consent to the offer, the steps are handled very quickly. There is no hassle, risk or delays. The buyer doesn’t need to secure financing. I sign a few papers and walk away with cash in hand. I use this cash to invest into a new rental property.
