Distance turns small problems into slow ones

Owning a property in a state you do not live in is manageable while nothing goes wrong. The moment something does, every task requires somebody on the ground, and arranging that from elsewhere takes days rather than hours.

Costs mount quietly as well. Flights and time off to deal with a property, contractors who cannot be supervised, and services that continue whether or not anyone is using them.

What tends to complicate it.

Not everything below will apply to you. Most owners in this situation recognise at least one of them.

Nobody is there to let anyone inEvery quote, inspection and repair needs access, and access needs a person.
Local rules are hard to keep up withMunicipal requirements, permits and inspection regimes vary and are easy to fall foul of from a distance.
Trips cost more than they appear toFlights, hotels and time away add up, often to more than the problem being solved.
Seasonal risks need attentionStorm season in the south and winter in the north both require a property to be prepared and checked, which is difficult remotely.

How MaliHaus may be able to help

We can review a property without you flying in for it. Tell us what you know about the condition, and where there is a tenant or a property manager, we will coordinate access rather than asking you to arrange it.

Documents are handled electronically wherever the title company allows, and remote notarisation is available in many cases. We will tell you at each stage exactly what is needed from you, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

3 Ways to Sell

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.

01

We inspect it, then buy it ourselves

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.

Best when the property fits our direct-purchase criteria and you want a straightforward cash sale.
02

We improve it, then bring in an investor partner

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.

Best when some upfront improvements can create a stronger and more dependable path to closing.
03

Our national investor network competes for it

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.

Best when broader exposure and competitive investor demand could produce a stronger result.

How it works, in three steps.

Step 1

Tell us about the property

Share the address, condition of the property and the situation you are facing.

Step 2

Let us evaluate the opportunity

The MaliHaus team reviews the property, the repair requirements, the local market and the available purchase route.

Step 3

Review your options

MaliHaus explains which of the three selling approaches may fit the property. The owner decides whether the proposed solution works for them.

Questions people in this situation ask.

Do I have to travel to the property for this?

Generally not. We can review it remotely and handle documents electronically where the title company permits it.

Can documents be signed remotely?

In many cases yes. Requirements vary by state and by title company, and we will confirm what applies before anything needs signing.

Who inspects the property if I am not there?

We arrange that. If there is a tenant or a property manager we coordinate with them directly.

I inherited it and have never seen it. Is that a problem?

No, it is a common starting point. Tell us what you do know and we will work out the rest from our side.
