1.1  Why do people want to sell ugly houses?

 

    There are all kinds of reasons that people need to sell their house, sometimes they're ugly houses, sometimes they're not. When we buy ugly houses in Houston, many of the reasons we find people need to sell their ugly houses include the following:

 

• It's just too ugly and in disrepair to get into the headache, costs and risks of rehabbing it themselves.

 

• They may have inherited the house and it hasn't been lived in, or been maintained for a long time.

 

• The house may need serious exterior repairs, like a new roof, new siding, new paint, new doors, etc.

 

• It may have survived a hurricane, or even a tornado, but has sustained too much damage to easily repair.

 

• They may have collected their insurance check and then decided to sell what's left cheaply, for someone else to repair.

 

• In some cases a tree, or branch has fallen on a part of the house, or part of the house has had serious storm damage.

 

• The property may have flooded and the house has sustained moderate to severe water damage that requires all new interior.

 

• The house may have actually moved due to a hurricane, or flood shifting it from it's piers, or foundation.

 

• There could be serious foundation problems, cracked slab, cracked plumbing, etc, that are problems uniquely common in Houston.

 

• The house may have mold problems, even toxic mold, due to flooding, leaking, plumbing damage, etc, and it may need remediation.

 

• A house may even have mold damage just due to poor air conditioning and air circulation, as Houston can have very humid weather.

 

• Some houses have had kitchen fire's, or fire's caused by smoking, that has seriously damaged a major area, or room of the house.

 

• Fireplaces can also can also cause considerable damage, either by shifting the foundation, or cracking in the attic causing a fire.

 

• Some properties need to be sold because they are a complete burn out, with only the slab left and could be sold at lot value.

 

So as you can see, there are so many reasons that we end up being requested to buy ugly houses in Houston. Some of the problems are relatively common and unique to this particular area, such as cracked, or shifted foundations, due to Houston's soil and temperate conditions. Other problems are quite unique to an individual property. Either way, we will consider each particular house to be sold and will make the best offer that can be made for that situation. In cases where we can not buy the ugly house, we may be able to introduce another investor who can, or make an alternate suggestion, or course of action to take.

 

2.  Reasons you may not want to rehab your ugly house yourself.

 

• You could end up spending more in rehab and holding costs, then if you sold your house to an investor who has the experience and contacts to get the job done efficiently and economically.    

 

• You may not have the experience, the contacts and means to find the right contractors, get permits from the city, choose and purchase the right materials, etc.

 

• Holding costs during the time your house is being repaired and readied for market can be considerable, these include mortgage payments, insurance payments, property taxes, dues, etc.

 

• It's possible that you could get a better profit selling the house "as-is" for cash now, versus keeping the house for an extended period to do your own rehab and retail.
