Here are some of our most recent all cash purchases.

Here is a list of some of the houses I have purchased in the greater Houston area. Some required unbelievable work while others were simply burdensome to the owners and they preferred cashing in on their equity.

Each house has a different story but the main theme is that it made much more sense for people to sell it versus listing it and having to wait months before they got a contract.

The homeowner sold the house for a cash offer because the foundation had a lot of issues and the cheapest quote they got was for $20,000. The master bedroom sloped from one end of the room to the other. Once you entered the room you would be going downhill just to get to the closet. Client was overjoyed not to have to deal with repairs but to sell it as-is.

The house flooded in Harvey and was during that time it was being converted from a 3 bed, 2 bath to a duplex that would have 2 units of 2 bed, 1 bath. They had converted the garage and added on to the house but after the flood they lost interest in the entire project. I was able to take it off their hands and when I got it, the inside was at the stud level plus it had been vandalized on numerous occasions.

This was a foreclosure purchased from the Harris County Auction. The house had flooded during Harvey and was unlivable. The house had been partially remediated but still needed lots of sheetrock removed as well as the kitchen and bathrooms demoed out rebuilt. Though we did not get to know the original homeowner it was evident how heartbreaking it really was to have your own home flooded and have to rebuild your life elsewhere.

The homeowner passed away and his spouse decided she wanted to move to another city. The house was infested with fleas, had foundation problems, as well as electrical issues. The house had not been kept up with for many years properly but had a fair amount of DIY fixes which in turn created greater problems. Ended up taking 3 fumigation treatments to get rid of the fleas.

The house needed a full foundation restoration, numerous cracked windows, and the smell of animals removed.
