Your House Needs Major Repairs. Now What?

A house that needs $30,000+ in work can feel impossible. But selling it for pennies isn't your only option — let's look at what's actually possible.

Deferred maintenance, storm damage, an aging roof, or a full gut renovation — when a house needs major repairs, most homeowners assume their only choice is to sell it as-is to an investor at a steep discount. That's not always true. If you have equity and a little time, you may be able to fund the repairs and capture the full value instead.

The repair trap

A house that needs work sells for far less than one that's move-in ready. Investors price the discount, the repair costs, and their profit into a low offer. If you sell as-is, you're paying for all of that. But if the repairs can be funded and managed, the same house can sell at full after-repair value — and the difference is often tens of thousands of dollars.

Three paths for a repair-heavy house

Quick Cash Sale gets you out fast with no repairs. Repair Funding covers the cost so the work actually gets done and you sell at full value. A Repair & Profit Partnership has us fund and manage the entire renovation, then split the additional profit with you. The best fit depends on your equity, your timeline, and how hands-on you want to be.
