Along with other concerns of selling your house, comes the burning question “ how much is my home worth?” Your curiosity is valid. But to answer your questions accurately, we’ll have to analyze our formula for calculating cash offers.

What formula do we use in drafting a fair cash offer?

“How much will I get for my house?” is the burning question. If you’ve come this far, you’re going to want to read on. There are, however, a few steps to follow, and once you comprehend them, you will have your answer. So let’s look at how much we can afford to offer on your home.

Our Home Buying Formula

To begin, we apply a formula to make things easier. We’ll go over each of the four parts of our formula. But first, let’s have a look at the formula:

ARV – REPAIRS – TRANSACTION COST – MINIMUM PROFIT = YOUR CASH OFFER

ARV

To clarify, ARV stands for After Repair Value. The ARV represents what your house is worth as an absolute maximum, based on your local market. This value assumes no need for repairs or deferred management. It’s the retail worth of your home if it’s in good condition and shows well to potential buyers.

REPAIRS

The fixes that a home requires to achieve ARV are, at best, subjective. It’s not always straightforward to figure out what kind of work you’ll be doing. When upgrading flooring, it’s not uncommon to discover foundation concerns. We may discover plumbing concerns when remodeling a bathroom. We put in a lot of effort to inspect a house before buying it to reduce our risk and make a better offer. The more confident we are in our repairs, the more services we can provide. In the worst-case situation, we’ll have to include some maybes in our proposal so that we can plan some ‘more work to be discovered.’

TRANSACTION COSTS

Although there are numerous transaction costs, they can be divided into several kinds. We have loan fees that we must pay to our lender. This would amount to 2-5 % of our entire renovation costs. Loan origination fees and interest-only monthly installments are included in the loan costs. The average realtor charge is 5%, half of that going to the buyer’s agent. Transaction costs are expected to be 15% of our total cost when everything is added up.

MINIMUM PROFIT

Of course, we must make money to continue our marketing efforts and support our families. Our profit margins vary, but we usually aim for a 15% profit margin. This also provides us with some price stability. We’ll be fine if we go over budget and still make 10%. We must be cautious because one large surprise might wipe off half of our gains. We can’t always receive a precise repair estimate, especially when dealing with hoarders. We always use cautious figures, but our 15 % profit estimate relieves the stress of not knowing everything before buying.

YOUR CASH OFFER

When we total up our transaction costs and our minimum profit, we get a 30 % difference between the two. So, ARV – 30% – Repairs = Your Cash is a simple version of our approach. Our offers are always firm and never contain any surprises. You get exactly what we promise. We pay for everything, and you will receive a check for the full amount. This is the allure of selling your home for cash.

What details are needed to initiate a sale?

Condition: We’ll examine your home’s current condition thoroughly. Does it have HVAC issues? Or is it plumbing, electrical, or roofing problems?
Situation: Do you have any situations we need to be aware of? Are you struggling with delinquent taxes? Code liens? We need to know. Certain circumstances warrant more resources (it helps to know what we are dealing with). For instance, rural areas have labor challenges.

Mortgage: We can help you pay off your balance on a mortgage. Our team specializes in creating win-win solutions like walking away with some cash even after we have settled your debt. If we can’t pay off your mortgage, we’ll provide other ingenious options, provided you are open to one.
Terrible Tenants: Bad tenants could be a hassle to deal with. Luckily, we are great at handling such situations. While it might take time to evict a problematic tenant, we’ll help you.

How long does it take to sell?

We promise to finalize the sale of your house fast. With our proactiveness and ability to nip problems in the bud, we can make good on our promise. Hence, there are no setbacks while working with us.

We’ll get things underway immediately after you accept our proposal. Iowa Cash Offer works with reputable title companies who make closing a cinch. We’ll obtain all the details required by the title company (purchase agreement, Earnest Money Deposit) to address any concerns that crop up. This helps us avoid delays and stay on top of the situation throughout the process.

The title company will examine your property title to ensure it’s clear and transferable. If we notice any shady business, we’ll resolve it before going further. Concurrently, we’ll run inspections with our contractors and secure the necessary funding.

Finally, we’ve come to your favorite part. In 7 days, we’ll close the deal and pay you cash immediately. Of course, we’ll ensure the whole process is simple and fast. But if we encounter any title-related issues, the closing could take 10- 28 days.
