Buy My House
Are you wondering, "Is anybody going to buy my house?" If so, you can join the ranks of the worried homeowners association. Although it probably won't make you feel any better, you aren't alone in your quest to find a qualified buyer. Nearly everyone is feeling the pinch of the downturned economy and nearly crippled real estate market.
Buy my house is the chant of the day. Over the past few months I have seen sellers carrying "buy my house" signs to attract the attention of bus tour home buyers. Buy my house signs are posted throughout every neighborhood and busy intersection.

Buy My Home
"Man wears 'buy my home' sandwich board in desperate attempt to sell his house." This headline caught my eye as I skimmed through a local paper. The story went on to explain how the homeowner had been trying to sell his house to stop foreclosure. He claimed the sandwich board seemed to work for people trying to find work, so he thought he would try it as a last ditch effort to save his home and credit.
Perhaps there will be a new market for "buy my home" sandwich boards. That wouldn't be a bad thing considering how many people are losing their jobs. But, do homeowners really have to engage in this type of drastic advertising? The answer is no!

Selling House for Cash
Selling house for cash is a term used by real estate investors who purchase distressed properties with cash instead of traditional financing. Unfortunately, banks are suffering from credit constipation; making it increasingly difficult for buyers to qualify for mortgage loans. For many buyers, the only way they can purchase a home is if they have a wad of cash in hand.
Selling house for cash can expedite the transaction because the buyer does not have to obtain pre-qualification from the bank. There are no stacks of finance papers to sign and no unexpected setbacks. In many cases, buyers can take possession of the property in weeks instead of months.

Sell My House Quick
Nearly every day people call me and say, "I need to sell my house quick!" My first question is, "Why?" A person who is facing foreclosure or bankruptcy probably needs to sell their house faster than someone who has inherited probate real estate or owns a second home. It is always important to determine how bad things are before I can help someone develop their exit strategy.
If you are thinking, "I need to sell my house quick" I will ask you the same question - Why? Has your lender sent you foreclosure papers? Are you in the midst of a divorce? Are you ready to walk away from your home because you don't know what to do? If so, I might be able to help and encourage you to submit information about your property via the "We Buy Houses" form on this website.

I Buy Houses
As a private investor I buy houses on a regular basis. On average, I view around 100 houses per month. Every day, I hear incredible stories of the life struggles people are facing. Many of the homeowners are facing foreclosure or bankruptcy. Others are going through a divorce or have recently lost their spouse due to illness or accident. Some need to sell their house because they have lost their job.
When I entered the "I buy houses" arena, my primary goal was to make money. I didn't realize that buying houses would ultimately offer distressed homeowners the opportunity to make a fresh start. While making money is fun, helping people out of bad situations is even better!

Buying Houses
Not so long ago people were buying houses at neck-breaking speed. Today, few people qualify for a mortgage loan. There is no doubt the housing market is in a serious slump. Lenders are carrying billions of dollars worth of non-performing loans and bank owned properties. Many homeowners are in serious financial distress; unable to make their house payments and waiting for impending foreclosure.
When I began buying houses, my primary goal was to locate distressed properties below market value. I engaged in house flipping and purchased rental properties. It was rewarding and profitable.

Buy House for Cash
"Buy House for Cash" programs are quickly becoming a popular way to buy and sell real estate. Although there can be drawbacks to paying cash for houses, real estate investors oftentimes obtain significant savings for a cash offer and sellers can unload their property in a stale market.
The primary downside of buy house for cash transactions is the loss of mortgage tax deductions. In many cases, investors purchasing homes with cash are using them as investment properties. Others are obtained for the purpose of house flipping.

We Buy Houses
Today, "We Buy Houses" signs dot the horizons of communities across the nation. The majority of these signs belong to private real estate investors or investment groups looking for cheap houses and distressed properties.
At Simon Volkov, we buy houses that are average or above average. Why? Because there are few resources available for homeowners with houses priced $300,000 above median or who carry mortgage notes higher than $500,000. There are a significant number of people who bought overpriced houses using subprime loans. Today, these people are facing foreclosure because their mortgage payment went up and their property value went down
