I've seen a lot of advertising lately for companies that want to buy houses. Many of these companies advertise cash offers, but what they don't tell you is why that might be desirable to you as a homeowner/seller. One advertises that they will buy your house and lease it back to you until you are ready to move, if ever.
The advantage of a cash offer is typically a quick close and no repairs, however that can change once these companies view or inspect the property. I'm not sure what advantage there is to selling your house then leasing it back. I can't imagine that the math works for sellers on those deals. Some of these companies are wholesalers who will get the property under contract then resell it to another buyer for a higher price.
If you are considering selling your house to a company like this, I urge you to remember that they are in business to make a profit. And that profit most likely is coming out of the sellers pocket. Their primary targets are desperate sellers who are willing to choose time over money or want to just get the sale done.
I'm available for consultation and free market analysis to help sellers determine the best path for their situation. Feel free to contact me.
