Sell Your Property

Options You Have to Sell Your Home!

If you are a homeowner who wants to sell their house, you have a handful of options to do so! Each method of selling your home comes with their own pros and cons. Here are a few of those options!

1. List it on the open market

If all of your tax and mortgage bills are up-to-date and non-delinquent, you have the option of selling your home either with a realtor or by yourself as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listing. A realtor or real estate agent and an appraiser will help you see how much your property is worth (they may be optimistic in this evaluation, because you getting a higher price on your home sold means more in their commission!) and list it on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This process of putting up a price on the MLS means you are attempting to sell the property at retail price, the highest price possible to an end buyer (perhaps an investor, or a first-time homebuyer). Depending on how willing the market is to purchase your home, you may find yourself dealing with multiple prospective buyers making an offer price that is lower than what you and your agent believe the house to be worth, and going through a great deal of open houses, showings, and the headache of a runaround. Properties may be able to sell on the MLS as-is without any rehab or renovation, but a similar house with renovations will likely sell faster on the open market than one without repairs done (i.e. an as-is condition home). So to get your property groomed and ready for the farm fair that is the open market, you may do yourself the service of shelling out the cash to do the renovations yourself to entice and end buyer. Of course doing said repairs may require you to roll up your sleeves to get the house repair project under way, dealing with project budget and dealing with various contractors and subcontractors on the daily until the house rehab is complete. Depending on how much repair is needed to be done to get your home market-ready, the rehab may turn into a process that lasts several weeks to several months. It is up to you whether the time frame for needed repairs is worth it to you. Not to mention this renovation process could especially trouble you if the home is your primary residence, and a handyman contractor accidently find their way laying out their 2x4 planks over your driveway blocking your way out, or breaking your perfectly good kitchen tile with cement buckets that hardened and got a bit too heavy!

Perhaps at some point, you figured that you didn’t want to go through all the work of dealing with an agent or shoulder the selling process all by yourself for months indefinitely. As an alternative you can hold on to your home, and keep it as a rental property!

2. Hold your Home as a Rental

Bad mortgage? Maybe you back taxes on your home? Or maybe you don’t have the capital to get your home looking like-new to bargain for a top dollar sale on the market. You have the option to clear out the home to be a rental property for tenants! Once you get tenants into the space and you have run the proper numbers on how much expenses in mortgage rinciple and nterest (if you have a mortgage), property axes, and property nsurance (these expense are collectively known as ). If you prepare your home to be a rental property and get the space tenanted, you will benefit from the monthly cash flow! However, depending on your willingness to manage the property, you can either hire a property manager to handle rent collection, handyman repairs, and regular maintenance, or you can roll up your sleeves to be the landlord yourself. Keep in mind, to make a home rent-ready, you may anyway want to do some rehab on your property to attract the good renters you want.

Now, if you don’t wish to go through the potential hassles of placing your home on the retail market or managing it as a rental home, your next big option is to sell your home fast with an investor or someone who wishes to buy your home as-is with an all-cash offer.

3. Sell it Off-Market to an Investor

Off-market investing to support homeowners like you is the business Fourth Son Properties Group is in, and the solution we provide to people who are motivated to sell today! By selling your house off-market with an investor, you get out of any headaches you have dealing with your property the day you sign the contact with that investor, and when closing is reached in 30 days or less (the typical speed of closing with a cash offer, or in less time!). With investors like us, you can sell your home exactly the way it is, and you may not have to spend not one more cent on rehabbing the place to bring it up to market standard (although non-closing costs such as real estate transfer fees and any prorated taxes must be covered by you as the seller). We make out cash offer, we sign a contract, and the homebuyer handles all the rest! Investor offers are quick, streamlined and all in cash at the day of closing. However, this cash offer will always take into account 2 critical factors: 1. The buyer is an investor and also needs to make a profit on the property, and 2. Buying a property in as-is condition requires repairs, and those repair costs must be accounted for in the investor’s offer price to you. A good cash offer from a buyer should be transparent and explain why the offer is likely not going to be as high as the retail number that you might get after going with Option #1 above, after performing the necessary rehab yourself. However, depending on what you wish to do with your home in your particular situation, it is best that you be reasonable with an investor’s offer (at Fourth Son Group, we believe that you should please try to pursue Options #1 and #2 first, if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and put in the necessary effort for those opportunities! We only wish to help homeowners who truly want to sell their home and are motivated to sell today, after considering all of their options already and then deciding to want to sell off-market to investors like us) and understand the pros and cons of each of the listed Options we mentioned here. We can guarantee that taking a cash offer in an off-market deal with an investor will be an easy process, and will instantly relieve you on any pain or hassle associated with holding onto your home, whatever the problem you’re facing with the property on in your personal life may be. If option #3 interests you and you want a streamlined, guaranteed offer TODAY, you can look up terms like “get cash offer” on search engines to find another off-market buyer, call or text Fourth Son Group at (404) 924-4828, or click the “Contact Us” button below to fill out the contact form and we will reach you immediately to talk about your property solution needs!

Last but not least, you do have one more major option. And that Option #4 is to . If you can manage not to sell or rent out your home, it may be perfectly fine to sit on your property until you are ready to make your next move. Never, EVER feel pressured to sell your home if you do not feel ready to do so. Unless it makes sense to you and those who are stakeholders around you as a collective, you do not have to feel the need to move on from your property if you do not have to! If you are reading this right now though, we can assume that you are ready to go through! Make sure where you stand on your home-selling journey, and when you are really sure you wish to sell, give us a call or text, or contact us on the site by clicking "Contact Us" or “Contact Us for a Guaranteed Offer” to access our Seller Information form to fill out!

There are of course a plethora of other niche options to pursue, such as Subject To’s (where you would give ownership of the mortgage you pay over to an investor, where the investor will take over title entirely or partially), Short Sales (in the event you are going into foreclosure), vacation rentals (think AirBnB’s – which in a few ways is like a modified, more entrepreneurial version of traditional renting with a potential for higher-velocity cash flow!), and Owner financing/Seller financing (similar to the idea of a Subject-To deal, however in this case the investor will not only do the managing of repairs, maintenance, and cashflowing activities, but this time will also pay you with a regular check, making it a passive investment for you). And by all means, consider each of these as paths to take! But all things considered, the least stressful, quickest and easiest path is to sell your home to an off-market buyer for a fair, guaranteed offer and the team at Fourth Son can absolutely help you on your home selling journey and jumpstart the next, best chapter in your life! Regardless of your choice (though we’d want your choice to be with us!), we want to ensure that you end up satisfied and onward looking to your future.

With sincerity and support,
