How can I sell my house fast for cash?
Hi everyone, I am going through financial hardship and need to sell my house fast for cash. My house is paid for. I don’t care if I take a loss. I just need cash. Any advice will be appreciated.
Hi,
Your best option to get your house sold quickly and get you that much needed cash ASAP would be to sell it to a real estate investor. Buying property for cash at a discount is these guys and gals forte.
Those ugly posted sighs you see on telephone poles and street sighs that read "we buy houses cash" are absolutely true and not a scam. These ads are meant to target motivated house sellers like yourself.
These real estate investors will gladly pay cash for a house that they can buy from anywhere between 50% to 70% of the appraised after repair value. Even if you live in small town USA every town has real estate investors.
You can just go driving around your neighborhood and keep your eyes peeled for these sighs. Usually busy intersections will have one or two. Also on the weekends is when you’re most likely to see these sighs. Get the numbers and call these guys.
Before you even talk with a real estate investor, I recommend you get a rough estimate of what your house is worth, how much similar homes are priced at, and the sell of recently sold similar homes. This way you are not completely in the dark about your home’s value.
Call a realtor and tell him or her that you are thinking of selling your home and are doing some research and if they can supply you with this information. They will gladly email you this information, because you are a potential customer. Do not let them talk you into hiring them to sell your house. This is not the fastest route to getting your house sold. Nothing closes a real estate deal faster than an all cash purchase, which is how an investor will buy.
From start to finish these investors will facilitate everything. Even if your house is a mess, an investor will be buying as is, so don’t worry about that. They also make all the necessary arrangements and handle all the paperwork. Also as far as cost go, there is none. Real estate investors never charge commissions or fees for their services.
As long as your house passes a clear title check their is no reason why you shouldn’t have your house sold and cash in hand in about a week.
If you don’t feel like driving around town looking for "we buy houses cash" sighs, other alternatives are your local newspapers and of course online websites like http://sellmyhousefastforcash.com
Since you are ready to sell at a discount, and I have already told you where to find a buyer. Selling your home and getting your cash should be easy.

Call any of those "We buy houses for cash" or "Problem House Buyers". They usually have ads on bus benches or billboards. You could even call a local real estate office and see if they know the name of one. Expect to take about a 30% hit off of what the house would sell for normally though.

You have to realize that these people are taking advantage of your urgent situation and if it’s a cash issue you’re dealing with and you’re house is paid off, why don’t you get a quick loan on the house for the money you need and then AFTER (not while the loan is being processed) then sell your house and pay off the loan.
If you do the math, lets assume your house is worth $200,000 and you’re going to take a loss of 30-50% of the value of your house because you need the cash right away it equals $60,000 to $100,000 you’d lose by selling to one of these "We buy houses for cash" places and they get to put that money right into their own pocket. It’s gotta make you sick to think you’d give up that much money just because you need cash right away.
Find a good lender and they can usually get a loan done for you in about a week or so provided you qualify and it will only cost you in the neighborhood of 1-3% vs. the 30-50% you’ll pay with an "investor" type.
If you don’t qualify for the loan, try to find someone you know who will give you the loan. You can offer to add them to the title in the appropriate percentage or dollar amount if trust is an issue. If that doesn’t work, look for a "hard money lender" who will lend you the money. They will probably charge you somewhere in the neighborhood of up to 10% (where allowed) and give you a higher interest rate but it’s still better than losing 30-50% of the equity you’ve worked hard to gain. Also when you get the loan, if cash is a problem which it sounds like it is, be sure to get enough extra to cover 6 months of payments to give you time to sell your home. Oh, and if you plan on selling the home soon after the loan is finalized, be sure to avoid any prepayment penalty clause in your loan. It will just cost you more money when you sell.
After the loan is finalized then visit http://www.FSBOMindset.com and order the Free CD that shows you how to sell your home the right way whether you do it on your own or by hiring an agent.
Good Luck To You!
