Absolutely! However NOT all investors are like that. Many are ethical men & women who care, do good work, restore neighborhoods and help people out who are in a serious hardship situation.

The original sellers were overwhelmed and would have panic attacks thinking about having to list their house on the MLS. They had 3 huge rescue dogs and hadn’t been able to maintain the property due to educational costs and more. The thought of people tromping through the house was too much them.

I work with talented, amazing investors who make a difference (no lipstick on a pig rehabs). I reached out to one of my vetted investors and he was able to give them a fair price for the condition of the home. My clients were able to get out from under this terrible burden of a property, buy a beautiful home in North Carolina that had plenty of land for their dogs and start of new phase of their life.

Caleb’s rehab was spectacular! No detail was overlooked. We listed it. Two days later, we were under contract, AT LIST PRICE, with 3 back up offers. Closed 22 days later with a conventional loan. The new owners had been looking for a LONG time. The quality of this home was undeniable to anyone who came by.

This investor is a man who positively impacted 2 family’s lives, while adding a beautiful home to the neighborhood. THAT is the kind of investor you want to work with!
