So, what are some of the terms for a run down property? Some terms actually are just different ways of saying the same thing. Others have specific meanings. Here is your definition guide to selling run down homes in Chicago’s southside.

Buying Distressed Properties for Sale

Buying distressed properties for sale. In Bronzeville and South Chicago are our business. A distressed property is a broad name for any property that needs extensive work. These properties may be loveable, but the conditions such as building code violations, lack of functioning electric or plumbing, and damage in the home can be a challenge. Distressed properties when we buy distressed homes for sale often go by other names: as-is homes for sale, run down homes for sale, gutted real estate for sale, and neglected homes in Chicago. Most of these terms are distressed homes, but they also have a specific designation.

We buy gutted real estate for sale

We buy gutted real estate for sale in neighborhoods like Oakland, South Shore, and Ashburn. Gutted real estate has always been interesting to me. A gutted property is a home or business which had nearly all of the interior except for support structure and maybe the bones of walls taken out. As the name suggests, the home or property for sale has been completely gutted. There are several reasons why gutted real estate for sale exists. Perhaps you want to rehab a home and gut the property. And then you run out of money before renovation. Some companies gut homes just to sell them. A gutted home for sale often provides several benefits to companies that rehab properties to sell. Some benefits include a clean slate, reduced time and cost to gut the home their self.

URB Chicago buys gutted homes for sale in Chicago’s southside neighborhoods.

Abandoned and Neglected homes for sale in Chicago

Abandoned and neglected homes for sale in Chicago. As the names suggest, abandoned and neglected homes are homes that were simply left behind. No one lives there (we should say, no one is supposed to live there), and the property is often unmaintained. After several years of negligence, these homes are often turned over to the state and sometimes sold at auction on the promise that the house will be leveled, or the house renovated.

However, for homeowners, URB Chicago buys abandoned homes for sale in as-is condition. That means, you can at least make money from your property without having to put effort into the sale.

Building Code Violations home for sale

Building code violation home for sale. This may not be the name of a type of home you come across, however building code violations are very common in distressed properties. In fact, a home with building code violations can be very difficult to sell with a realtor. That is because most lenders will not lend money without a building inspection and violations being repaired before a sale. URB Chicago buys properties as is and we pay cash for houses in Chicago. Since we pay cash for houses we don’t depend on a bank to lend money for homes. This allows us to buy houses with Chicago building code violations, pay cash, and close on properties in as fast as 7 business days. Even if those houses fail inspection.
