Vacant and abandoned
Vacant homes can create ongoing costs, security concerns, maintenance problems and code issues. The longer the property remains empty, the more difficult it can become to manage.
MaliHaus can assess vacant and abandoned properties in their current condition and discuss a possible sale without requiring the owner to restore the home first.
A property that nobody is living in deteriorates faster than one that is occupied. Small problems that a resident would notice within a day, a leak, a failed unit, a broken window, go unseen for months and turn into much larger ones.
There is an administrative side too. Insurers treat vacant properties differently and cover can lapse or narrow without the owner realising. Municipalities notice empty houses, and overgrown lots and unsecured openings tend to attract citations.
Not everything below will apply to you. Most owners in this situation recognise at least one of them.
We assess vacant properties as they stand, including ones that have been empty for a long time and are not in a condition anyone would want to show to a retail buyer. Restoring it first is not a precondition of us looking at it.
If there are outstanding citations or a lien has attached, tell us early. Those things do not automatically prevent a sale, but they do need to be identified at the start rather than discovered halfway through.
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.
It is one of the situations we see most. Length of vacancy and condition are things we take into account, not reasons to stop the conversation.
Not necessarily. Whether they can be dealt with as part of a transaction depends on what they are and on local rules, and title and legal questions have to be confirmed by the appropriate professionals.
No. Tell us in advance so we know what can and cannot be tested when we look at the property.
Tell us at the outset. It changes what is realistic, and it is far better addressed at the start than discovered later.
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.
