My goal was to get rid of the property as soon as possible
After owning a rental property for almost eight years, I decided to sell to a cash home buyer. It was much easier than going the traditional route, because I wasn’t required to make any repairs. I contacted a Jacksonville cash buyer with a well-established history of honesty and integrity. The company is family-owned and operated and has completed more than a thousand successful purchases. They were recommended to me by close friends. My property was rented by long-term tenants for the entirety of my ownership. I toured the house when I initially made an offer and purchased the property. After that, I never had a reason to step inside. The tenants paid their rent on-time. I paid a lawn care company to handle the landscaping. Whenever there were repairs needed, I simply scheduled a professional to take care of it. My tenants moved out without telling me. They stopped paying their rent. Eventually I went by and checked on the place. I discovered a horrific mess due to numerous pets. The tenants definitely had multiple dogs, cats and at least one rabbit. They allowed the animal to defecate on the floor, scratch the doors and chew on molding. The rabbit got inside the walls and caused all sorts of problems. The smell of the house was overpowering. I couldn’t face the task of renovating and cleaning. There was no way to list the house in its current condition. My goal was to get rid of the property as soon as possible. By choosing a cash home buyer, I was able to close on the sale in ten days.
