First, what are your options for selling your house:
- You can list with a local realtor
- You can sell it on your own (FSBO-for sale by owner)
- You can sell directly to an investor like Rocket Park Properties (based locally in Houston, Texas).
Simple enough, and we can freely help you with all options. But the question remains: “Can Rocket Park Properties buy my house for close to my asking price?”
Well Upfront, Here Is Our Agenda And How Much We Will Pay
We buy houses predominantly, for one of two reasons:
- To remodel/repair the house and resell, or
- To keep the house as a rental unit.
In either case, to stay in business, we need to make a profit and thus we locate houses that are priced affordably. We must pay for remodeling/repairs, for holding costs (financing, taxes, insurance, maintenance), and then pay costs for selling the property (commissions, closing cost, …). Typically, we need to profit 10 to 15% of the sale price. Obviously, it is unrealistic to expect us to invest hundreds of thousands into a home, remodel it, and then sell it to lose money!
Of the two reasons listed above, Rocket Park Properties can offer you the most money for reason #2 (our preferred investment). Simply put, we like to buy rentals. And if we are keeping the home as a rental, there is no middle man or selling cost which nets you even more money! And further under certain terms We Can Even Pay Full Retail Price for ideal rentals. Inquire, and we will gladly assess if your home meets our full price criteria!
So back to the question: “Can Rocket Park Properties buy my house for close to my asking price?”
Answer: YES and even FULL price for ideal rentals
Example of a Home we acquired at Full Asking Price
We made a full cash offer on this house in Pasadena at the sellers full asking price. There was a foundation issue and a bad AC unit that needed to be replaced. No problem, we took care of that for the seller. The seller had tried to sell the home a few years earlier but there were no takers for over 6 months. This home was a rental and the seller could not afford to make the needed repairs. He eagerly accepted our full cash offer at his asking price to rid himself of the burdensome rental. We updated the home, rented it, and still have it today in our rental portfolio.
