Type of Houses We Review | Charleston WV Seller Questions

What type of houses can AM Investments consider in the Charleston WV area? Condition, occupancy and the seller’s circumstances all matter, and no category guarantees an offer. This guide explains the type of houses discussed in our older video and the property-specific questions to ask today. You can start a conversation about the house as it stands without assuming that every situation has the same solution.

House situations: start with the facts

Condition: known issues, unfinished work and existing reports.
Occupancy and ownership: who lives there and who may act?
Timing and obligations: deadlines that need independent attention.

A house needing repairs or unfinished work

Tell us which areas need attention and what has already been done. Separate a cosmetic change you would like from a known condition concern or an assessed problem. If there are reports, estimates or completion records, say what is available and what still needs review.

Our guide to what type of houses can be considered as-is explains the questions behind a current-condition sale. A possible purchase does not certify safety, promise a particular repair budget or eliminate every evaluation. See the structural-damage guide if that concern applies.

An inherited or shared house

Explain whether an estate, trust, co-owner or other authority question needs attention. Someone having keys or paying bills does not settle who may approve or sign a sale. Get the appropriate attorney or closing professional to explain the documents for the actual ownership situation.

The inherited-house guide helps organize the property, belongings and sale conversations. A direct buyer’s interest does not complete probate or resolve a disagreement between owners.

A rental or a house managed from elsewhere

Describe who occupies the house, how access can be arranged and whether there is a lease or other occupancy agreement to review. Do not promise vacant possession before understanding the actual obligations. Keep rent, deposit and maintenance records organized for the professionals handling the transaction.

If you live away from the area, the absentee-owner coordination guide covers practical communication and access questions. The type of houses described in a video does not remove the need to understand each tenancy or ownership arrangement.

A property with mortgage or tax deadlines

Tell a prospective buyer that a deadline exists, but continue speaking with the lender, tax authority and appropriate advisers. An inquiry, visit or offer does not automatically pause foreclosure, cure taxes or protect a credit outcome.

For mortgage difficulties, the CFPB mortgage-help page provides an independent starting point. Do not wait for a purchase conversation to answer a notice or seek advice about a deadline. This page does not decide what legal options apply to your property.

A house connected to a move

Explain the date you prefer to leave, access to the next home and whether you could manage overlapping costs. Ask how visits, remaining belongings and possession would work under a proposed sale. A suggested date still depends on the agreement and outstanding requirements.

The answer to “what type of houses?” is only the beginning. Our process guide for the type of houses we review explains how an inquiry can lead to a property conversation and a possible written proposal. Compare that proposal with your alternatives before deciding.

Before asking about your house

Share condition, occupancy and preferred timing.
Identify ownership, tenancy or deadline questions needing review.
Ask what conditions and responsibilities a proposal would include.

Hey guys, Andrew McDavid, A&M Investments. We buy houses in Charleston, WV and surrounding areas.

I wanna talk to you real quick about a question that we get asked a ton, and that is, what type of houses do we buy in Charleston WV? Well we buy a bunch of different houses, we buy pretty houses, we buy ugly houses, but it usually falls into one of these four or five different categories.

Number one, foreclosure, maybe the homeowner has lost a job or someone has passed away, and they can no longer afford the home. We are able to come in, pay cash for the home, keep a devastating hit on our credit, and then maybe give them some of their equity.

Number two, taxes, maybe the house is behind on taxes, it’s a rental, and the renter has trashed the house and left, and the landlord’s left holding the bag. We’re able to come in, catch the taxes up, pay for the home, move on down the road.

Number three, inheritance, maybe someone has passed away and the heir already has a home, so they don’t need two, and this house usually has repairs that need to be done. Maybe that homeowner doesn’t have the money to pay for it.

We’re able to come in, pay cash for the home, even if it has a structural problem, we will still purchase the home. Now, we will usually have a structural engineer come out, tell us how much it’s gonna cost, but the benefit for us is that we don’t have to do inspections or appraisals other than the structural, so we’re able to come in, pay cash for the home, which is difficult for people who are dealing with the bank on the MLS.

And lastly, it’s relocation, someone has got a job, and they have to relocate, they can’t afford two homes, and they need to get rid of one quickly. So if you know someone, or you yourself is in one of these scenarios, please give us a call, we’ll be glad to chat with you about it, we do a free appointment to come out and take a look at it you have nothing to lose, so again, this is Andrew McDavid, A&M Investments, have a good one.
