you will be able to leave all the unwanted stuff in the house. Everything you don’t want in your new home can be left in the old one, and the investor will buy the whole package.
CONS
• The one con is what you are going to receive for your house. Investors profit from reselling the property. For them to succeed in this, they will always try to buy the house for the lowest price possible. You can almost be certain that an investor’s offer will be less than the actual value of the house. There is almost no chance you’ll get full value for your home in this situation. • It’s not suggested to sell to an investor unless you are in a dire situation. • Many investors, if not most, will wholesale the property and sell it to another investor for $10,000-$90,000 more than they are paying you. Hiring a local professional real estate agent will make you more money 99 times out of 100, even with any additional fees and commissions. Those investors that keep the property often flip it for a quick profit, an agent will market the home to all buyers, and when there is competition the offers are higher, even from investors.
