The Kinds of Properties We Buy

A non-exhaustive list of properties we've closed on in the South Bend / Michiana area:

Fire-damaged houses. Partial or full fire, smoke damage. We buy as they sit.
Frozen-pipe and freeze damage. South Bend winters are brutal — burst pipes, ice damming, flooded basements. We buy with or without insurance claims pending.
Foundation issues. Northern Indiana clay soils cause settling, cracking, water intrusion. We factor it into the offer rather than demand repair credits at closing.
Code enforcement situations. City of South Bend, Mishawaka, or Elkhart code citations that became "I just want this off my plate" decisions.
Hoarding properties. No judgment. Leave everything. We do the cleanout.
Lead-paint disclosures common in pre-1978 Michiana housing stock — we buy with full lead-paint disclosure forms and don't ask for remediation.
Long-vacant houses. Owner died, family moved, house sat for years. Mold, broken pipes, animal damage.
Mid-rehab houses. Started a flip, ran out of money, half-finished kitchen, walls open.
Tenant-occupied disasters. Bad tenants, lease complications, properties trashed.

How As-Is Pricing Actually Works

Our offer is based on the property's after-repair value (ARV) — what it would sell for once renovated — minus our estimated rehab cost and a margin. So a distressed property in South Bend with $70k of needed repairs and a $200k ARV might net you something in the $90k-$110k range as a cash offer.

The condition doesn't change whether we'll buy. The condition does change what we can pay — because we're the ones doing the rehab after closing.

We're transparent about this math. On the call, we'll show our ARV estimate, rehab estimate, and how we got to the offer.

Honest Note: When MLS Beats As-Is Cash

If the issue is cosmetic — outdated kitchen, old carpet, dated bathrooms — you may be better off with a traditional listing, even with the time and commission. Investors compete hard for "needs cosmetic updates" houses and you'll see multiple offers.

If the issue is structural, environmental, or legal — that's our lane. MLS buyers' financing falls apart on those. We don't.
