Shortly after I invested into a home in Jacksonville, everything began to go wrong.
Although I’d insisted on a home inspection, none of the problems were noticed.
I can’t believe that after poking around in the crawlspace, he missed the signs of a severe plumbing leak. The floor became so rotted that it started to collapse. There were nonstop concerns with mold growth and musty smells. The inspector checked out the air conditioner and ductwork and assured me that it would operate reliably for years to come. It quit the very next summer. When I hired an HVAC contractor for repairs, he told me that I needed a whole new cooling system. He discovered that the ductwork was poorly designed, improperly installed and riddled with holes and cracks. Plus, the roof developed a leak. I got an estimate from a professional roofer who told me that the roof had been re-roofed so many times it was a safety hazard. He suggested tearing the whole thing off and starting over. I couldn’t sell the house the traditional way and couldn’t afford all of the repairs. My best option was to sell to a cash homebuyer. I filled out an online form for a Jacksonville cash homebuyer. There was no obligation or fees. I got an offer right away. Once I accepted, everything moved along very quickly. I didn’t need to worry about paying a realtor, hiring contractors or passing an inspection. The cash homebuyer took care of the closing requirements. I received payment in full about ten days later.
