When I first bought my dwelling in Jacksonville, I had every intention of fixing it up.
- Because of limited funds, I bought a loft that was in need of a great deal of work, however at the time, I was struggling to pay off school loans, insurance and medical bills.
It seemed like a smart decision to own rather than rent. The dwelling was in a risky town and had been left empty for over a year. There was water disfigurement from a leaking roof, including warped floors, buckling drywall and troubles with mold! Some of the windows were broken and the doors didn’t close securely. The heat pump was ancient and struggled to keep up with demand. There weren’t enough power outlets and the electrical panel was outdated. Everything from the faucets and water furnace to the septic system were in need of improvement. The exterior of the loft had been neglected for a long time. The grass was overgrown with weeds and even saplings. There were pricker vines growing through the floor of the garage. I could see the potential of the house. Blessedly, my labor schedule left no time to make repairs. My budget was too slender to afford replacements. The dwelling continued to deteriorate. I realized that it was steadily losing value. When I contacted a real estate agent, she warned me about the downsides of a dwelling inspection. Without a dwelling inspection, there was no way a potential customer would be able to secure a loan. I wanted to unload the dwelling and get out from under the stress and responsibility. My best allocation was to contact a money dwelling buyer. I found a local supplier with positive reviews and a successful track record. I contacted them online, offered some information and received an offer that same afternoon.
