A few months ago, I inherited a home in Denton County, Texas. I was initially excited by the possibility. I love the areas around Dallas, Fort Worth and Little Elm. I had vacationed in those locations and thoroughly enjoyed the great weather, gorgeous scenery and delicious food. When I visited the property, I was unpleasantly surprised by its condition. Living so far away, managing the necessary repairs would have been difficult. Covering the huge expense was just about impossible without significantly straining my budget. The house needed a new roof, electrical panel, water heater, windows and HVAC system. The appliances were old and in poor condition. The yard was overgrown, the porch rotted and everything needed a fresh coat of paint. I considered listing the price via a real estate agent but wasn’t thrilled with such a time-consuming process. I didn’t want to be forced to fly back to Denton County to handle inspections, negotiations and closings. I was looking to walk away from the property with cash in-hand as soon as possible. The ideal solution was a local cash home buyer. I found a company that is family-owned, proven reliable and situated in Lewisville. I gave them a call and had an impressive cash offer in a few hours. The company was wonderful about managing all of the paperwork and streamlining every stage of the process. I had the opportunity to schedule the closing according to my timeline, which saved me a great deal of time, money and travel. I then invested the money from that house into a more suitable vacation property.
