My husband had been transferred south (yay us) for his job which meant we had a lot of thinking to do. Having two houses would be impossible. Did we want to rent or buy in our new town? Did we want to sell our Maryland home or become landlords? nWhere we landed in decision was we would buy in the new town and sell in the old. This again initiated a lot of thinking. Would we upgrade our home originally built in the 80s or would we just throw it on the market and see what would happen? After contacting a realtor, the latter was going to be impossible. She wasn’t even optimistic that we would be able to pay off our current loan with the condition of house. She further let the steam our of sails by saying it would be around $35,000 or more to get the home up to the “2018” standards that people are looking for when buying. nMy discussions with my husband was more along the lines of what if we found a buyer who wanted to do all the upgrades after we sold it to them. His response was there aren’t many people who want to build sweat equity. With this we decided to look into investment firms who buy, renovate, and resell homes. nOnce we did the research, House Buyers of America won hands down. Being A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau plus having a lot of great reviews on Facebook we felt at ease giving you a call. It was a fairly easy process and everyone in your office was pleasant and a joy to work with. You definitely get 5 stars from us.n
