I didn’t have the energy or budget to make repairs.
I bought a single-family rental property that was in a terrible state of disrepair. Because of the rapidly expanding housing market in the Jacksonville, Florida, area, I hoped that making improvements would prove to be a worthwhile investment. I assumed that updating the property would attract a higher class of tenant. Due to extensive water damage, I just about gutted the home. I tore out walls, ceilings and floors and hired licensed contractors to install brand new electric lines, plumbing and ductwork. I invested in a new water heater, central air conditioner and appliances. New windows, exterior doors and insulation elevated comfort and energy efficiency. Brand new kitchen cupboards, countertops, toilets, sinks and fixtures ensured a functional and beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. I laid down a combination of tile and laminate flooring and installed brand new light fixtures. I painted the interior and exterior of the house and spent time and money on landscaping. When I listed the home for rent, there was a great deal of interest. I did a thorough background check before choosing a renter. Within six months of the tenants moving in, the property began to look rundown. There were toys and garbage scattered across the lawn. The rent was late every month. Shortly after that, they stopped paying rent all together. Getting them evicted was a difficult and time-consuming process. The renters were extremely hostile and deliberately caused damage. When I finally got them out, I discovered that they had poured cement down the drains. I didn’t have the energy or budget to make repairs. I simply wanted to walk away from the property as quickly and painlessly as possible. In that situation, selling the home for cash was the right decision. I secured an offer within 24-hours and closed within ten days.
sell house to relocate
My fiance and I have always wanted to live on the beach.
At the time my pal and I couldn’t afford it though.
So my pal and I bought a place in downtown Jax with the idea that someday my pal and I would get to be on the beach. We worked our butts off, saved, and then started hunting for a new place. The perfect place came around and my pal and I toured it and then started working on a deal. The home needed a new roof. That is okay, no concern at all. I was prepared to do a downpayment and a new roof on our home. Since it was going to be our house, I didn’t mind. Well when I was trying to sell my Jacksonville city home, the real estate agent tried to get me to put a new roof on. Everyone who toured my place didn’t like the outdated roof. They wanted a new one. They wanted me to spend my money on it. I have a beach home and a roof already on my debit card, I am not adding another one. The home easily didn’t need a roof. I talked to professional roofers and had it checked. It was just people being greedy. I knew insurance would get on the home too. So I ended up dumping my real estate agent and finding a FL real estate customer who does cash deals. My Jax home for cash was such a smart move. The talk of a new roof never came up. I got a smoking deal and was able to sell the home in an afternoon. It was quick, simple, and efficient.

They wanted me to pay for it. I have a beach house and a roof already on my credit card, I am not adding another one. The house honestly didn’t need a roof. I talked to professional roofers and had it inspected. It was just people being greedy. I knew insurance would get on the home too. So I ended up dumping my real estate agent and finding a Florida real estate buyer who does cash deals. My Jax home for cash was such a smart move. The talk of a new roof never came up.

sell my inherited property
I moved to Jacksonville, Florida for the weather.
I was sick of the cold, snow, and ice of my northern home state.
I loved Jax for a bit. It was fun hitting the beach, teh bars, shops, and seeing the local sights of St. Augustine and Avondale. Then I realized I didn’t really want to do much city living anymore. I didn’t like that my house was right near the hustle and bustle. I then noticed I really didn’t like the heat that came with Florida living. I would rather deal with snow than 100 degree weather. I lived all year for the winter season and it was mainly six weeks. So I decided that I was going to move back home. I could get a bigger place, more private, and with more property for less money due to the area. The thing I needed to do was sell my Jacksonvlle home. I thought about listing with a real estate agent but I didn’t want to waste the time. I got my place of work to transfer me. I had all my furniture sent to my parents place. I had a bit on a new house in the north. I just needed to go. I didn’t want to hang around waiting for my Jax house to go. So I ended up looking at Florida cash home buyers. The Jacksonville real estate buyer was really great about being clear and upfront with what he was offering. It took me only a day to sell my house and then I was finally able to move.
