For short-term gains, some investors sell a contract to another investor right after the purchase agreement with the seller is signed. They are called ‘wholesalers’.

Others will buy a distressed property, rehab, and sell it for a retail price. They are called ‘flippers’ or ‘rehabers’.

There are investors who specialize in buying commercial and residential properties with legal problems attached: foreclosure, owners’ divorce, delinquent taxes, probate, etc.

How to sell your house to an investor?
The investors you choose to consider will want to meet with you and inspect your property. Reputable investors will make a cash offer for your property—usually within 24 hours. After you accept the offer of one of the investors, they will ask to meet with you to sign a purchase agreement. Upon signing the contract, you have no more responsibility for the condition of the home. And usually, within a month, the deal will be completed, and you will have your cash.

The investor will first estimate the after repair value (ARV) of your home. The ARV is typically multiplied by a factor of 70%. From this calculation, the investor deducts their expected repair costs, plus overhead and profit. The resulting figure is the maximum amount an investor will be willing to pay for your property.

Maybe you're in the plight of many homeowners: "An investor wants to buy my house, and I need to sell it. Should I sell to them or go with a real estate agent?"

If your house is in a state of disrepair and you don't have the money to fix it up, an agent is going to have a hard time finding a buyer. But an investor will buy your property AS IS.

Selling your home through an agent can take several months. If you need a quick sale, an investor can normally complete a real estate transaction in less than a month.
