Ugly homes are hard to sell on the retail market because they need too much cosmetic or structural work. This makes working with a realtor hard because a lot of conventional loans won’t get approved for ugly homes or homes that need work. The best way to sell a ugly home or a home that needs work is to an investor who is willing to pay cash. This way your home doesn’t need to go through normal inspections or loan requirements and you can get cash in your pocket fast.
