READY TO SELL YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY?

As a landlord, you either love it or hate it. You wear a lot of different hats and it’s not always as good as it sounds. You might be the plumber, the handyman, the rent collector, and the property manager. As the owner of the property all the financial responsibility falls you.

The endless problems, the late-night emergency maintenance phone calls, tenant turnover, and having to evict a tenant, can make owning and renting out your property more trouble than it is worth. If you are a landlord and managing the property on you own, certain changes in life circumstances, can make it difficult for you to continue taking care of the property. Whatever your reasons are, being a landlord is not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.

WAYS TO SELL YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY

Z

Cash Sale

Cash Sale to Investor helps homeowners pay off mortgage loans and avoid the stress of a complicated home transaction process. Since most investors purchase properties with all cash, homeowners can sell their properties as soon as both parties agree on the conditions of sale.
Z

Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding initiated when a person or business is overwhelmed and unable to pay outstanding debts. Filing for bankruptcy helps people get a fresh start by liquidating assets or by creating a repayment plan to pay off debts.

Creative Finance

This is an option for people with very little equity who think their home will have to be a short sale or just lose it completely. The seller allows the buyer to take over payments on their existing mortgage. In some situations, we are able to save the home, reinstate the mortgage that is in foreclosure, and give the homeowner some cash to walk away with to start the next chapter of their life
