Initially, when I heard that I had inherited a house in Jacksonville, Florida, I was glad.
I live in the northeastern part of the country, where the winters are long plus brutal.
I’m not a big fan of sub zero rapidly changing temperatures, feet of snow plus ice. The idea of spending the winters in Jacksonville appealed to me. I imagined spending half of the year up north plus the other half down south. However, when I traveled to Jacksonville to inspect the property, I was not happy. The house was located on the outskirts of the town in a rather seedy town. It wasn’t close to any nice restaurants, shopping, theater or even a park. The part seemed quite unsafe. There was trash in the sod plus piled on the front porch. There were weeds growing up through cracks in the driveway, broken windows plus a sagging roof. The interior of the house was even worse. There was obvious water detriment, mold growth plus signs of rodent infestation. The plumbing, Heating, Ventilation and A/C plus electrical systems were in bad shape. I wanted nothing to do with the property. My only goal was to sell it as quickly as possible. When I spoke with a realtor, she wasn’t all that enthusiastic. She told me that the home would be tough plus perhaps even impossible to sell. Attracting a patron was only the start of the problem. The majority of clients would require a bank loan to cover the mortgage. The bank would not agree to lending if the home failed to pass an inspection. I chose to go a different route. I got in touch with a money house patron located in Jacksonville. The operation is family-owned plus has built a solid reputation for reliable outcomes. I was able to handle nearly the entire process online plus my buddy and I closed in under two weeks.
