Condition and repairs
Roof problems, outdated systems, structural concerns and years of deferred maintenance can make a conventional sale difficult.
MaliHaus considers properties in a wide range of conditions. Before spending money on renovations, property owners can ask the team to review the home and determine whether selling as is could provide a better option.
A conventional sale usually depends on a buyer with a mortgage, and a mortgage depends on a lender being satisfied with the property. Where there are roof, structural, electrical or plumbing problems, that approval becomes uncertain no matter how willing the buyer is.
This is why owners are so often told to fix things first. The difficulty is that major repairs are expensive, disruptive and slow, and there is no guarantee the money spent comes back in the sale price.
Not everything below will apply to you. Most owners in this situation recognise at least one of them.
We look at properties in a wide range of conditions and we do not ask you to repair, clean or stage anything before we will assess it. What we are working out is what the property is worth as it stands today.
Where the work needed is more than we would take on alone, the second route may apply: with your written approval we may complete select repairs ourselves while the property is under contract, which can make it a stronger proposition for an investor partner.
Every property is assessed against all three before anyone quotes a number. Which one applies depends on the property, its condition and the scope of the work.
We complete a full property inspection to evaluate its condition, repair requirements and overall project scope. If the property meets our purchasing criteria, we move forward using our own cash with no lender financing to fall through.
If the project carries more risk than we want to take on alone, we may, with your written approval, complete select repairs while the property is under contract. By investing our own money first, we make the home more attractive to our investor partners and demonstrate that we have real skin in the game. That commitment gives our partners greater confidence to join the purchase and complete the project with us.
Through our partnership with a national real estate syndicate, we can present your property to investors across the country. Qualified buyers can review the opportunity and compete to purchase it, creating exposure beyond the local market.
Share the address, condition of the property and the situation you are facing.
The MaliHaus team reviews the property, the repair requirements, the local market and the available purchase route.
MaliHaus explains which of the three selling approaches may fit the property. The owner decides whether the proposed solution works for them.
We consider a wide range, but we do not buy every property and it would be wrong to suggest otherwise. Some properties do not meet our purchasing criteria, and when that is the case we say so quickly rather than leave you waiting.
No. If you already have a report or quotes, they are useful, but obtaining them is not something we ask of you.
Speak to us before you do. It is a large amount of money that may not be recovered, and it is a decision worth making with a figure in front of you.
It means we are looking at the property in its current state, and we are not asking you to carry out work or to reduce the price later because of something an inspection turned up.
That is our second route. If it applies we would explain exactly what we propose doing and you would approve it in writing before anything was touched. We invest our own money in that work.
Start with the situation you are in, not a form. It takes about two minutes, you tap rather than type, and nothing here commits you to selling.
Serving homeowners across Florida and selected markets nationwide. This situation is one we look at across every market below.
Several of these often overlap. If more than one applies, mention it when we speak.
You do not need to diagnose the problem or choose the right page. Tell us about the property, your circumstances and the outcome you want. The MaliHaus team will review the information and let you know whether it may be able to help.
