In today's market, everyone is looking for a good deal. But how exactly do you go about finding one? 

It all starts with a home inspection. If you find a home with a laundry list of problems on its inspection report, you will have a great deal of leverage when submitting an offer. It's often the case that the seller is not in a position to or may not want to bother with a long list of defects that need to be addressed. It's situations like this that provide the best opportunities for investors or people who want to repair, rehab, and resettle. 

The idea is that the seller fixes the problems identified in the inspection report or you get a better monetary value for the house. If a property has a long list of defects, it effectively limits the pool of buyers. If many things need to be repaired or replaced, many first-time and traditional home buyers won't be able to qualify for their ideal loan amount with the home in its current condition; it takes retail buyers out of the equation because the home doesn't qualify for secondary market financing. By limiting the prospective buyers for a property, a home in this condition will likely be bought with cash or by those rare buyers who want to take it how it is.

If you're looking to invest or buy a home and improve it, these are the types of homes to keep an eye out for. There's no one better to consult on the topic than a real estate professional, and I'm always available to chat. Give me a call or shoot me an email if you want more advice on how to make the most of your next home purchase. 

Why Should You Get a Pre-inspection?

We at the Blackwood Team are currently working on a progragm that will recommend home sellers get inspections before we begin marketing the home. Why would we do this? Isn't it the buyer's job to have an inspection done?

We've found that if the seller is aware of a defect with the home, they will typically disclose it in the written communications with the buyer. It's in the seller's interest to know all the defects before starting the inspection process with a buyer. If a buyer's inspector finds a bunch of things the seller didn't know about, it could fundamentally alter the deal. The seller may be left having to spend a bunch of money, or the buyer might back out.

To make the whole process a whole lot smoother and avoid the potential for red flags once you have a buyer, you need to get a pre-inspection! To learn more about this subject, give us a call or shoot us an email. It's our job to make the selling process as easy as possible!
