Your house probably isn't as complicated as you think

Some houses need more than fresh paint. Yours might have unresolved probate, non-paying tenants, open permits, an unsafe-structure violation, back taxes, major structural damage or a demolition order. We have bought all of those.

You do not need to solve any of it before calling us. We will look at the property, tell you what we can take on, and give you a straightforward cash offer.

What are you dealing with?

Whatever's wrong with it, it's probably on this list

From Little Haiti

A property we actually bought. No address and no names — the situation is the point.

A hard money loan two years old, and a project that was not finished

A wood frame house in Little Haiti with in-law quarters in the back yard, and a foreclosure coming.

The owner was not a homeowner who had fallen behind. He was an investor, and the unfinished project was his own. That is worth saying plainly on a page about foreclosure, because the word brings one picture to mind and the reality covers several. A good number of foreclosures are somebody’s renovation that ran out of road.

The lender was a hard money lender in first position, and the loan had been out for two years. Hard money is not built for two years. It is short term money, priced as short term money, and the exit is always the same one: finish the work, then refinance into a longer term loan on better terms, or sell.

He never reached the refinance. You do not refinance an unfinished house — a longer term lender wants a finished property to lend against, so the better loan that was supposed to replace the expensive one stays out of reach until the work is done. And when it is still sitting there at the two year mark, the cost of carrying it has been running every month the whole time.

He had run out of funds and he had run out of time. Those two normally arrive together — the money runs down, the schedule slips because the money ran down, and then the loan comes due against a house that is not finished and so cannot be sold or financed like a finished one. There is no version of that which resolves itself quietly.

We bought it and finished the project. Everything new, and everything permitted.

That second word is the one that matters. An unfinished renovation can be completed cheaply and quietly, or it can be completed on the record with inspections. The second costs more and takes longer and is the only version that leaves a property somebody else can buy, insure or borrow against later.

The in-law quarters at the back are the second unit now. The property is a duplex, properly and on paper, rather than a house with something behind it that everybody agrees not to ask about.
