Vacant house FAQ
Common questions
How long can a house sit vacant before it becomes a problem?
Depends on the property, but 3 to 6 months of vacancy usually starts introducing plumbing, pest, and vandalism issues. Insurance also gets harder past 60 to 90 days vacant.
Can you buy if the utilities are shut off?
Yes. We do not require utilities on for our diligence.
What if the house has been vandalized or broken into?
Common. We buy vandalized properties as-is.
What if the yard is overgrown and there are code notices?
Also common. We factor cleanup and code fines into the offer.
Do I need to get the house re-keyed or secured?
No. We handle security after close.
Can I sell a vacant house I inherited?
Yes. See our inherited-house page — this is a normal combined scenario.
What about property taxes owed on a vacant house?
Back taxes are paid off through escrow at closing.
How fast can we close?
As few as 7 to 14 days.
Ready to sell the vacant property?
