Hey, this is Matt with Mid-Florida House Buyers and I’m standing inside of a house that we purchased in Leesburg, Florida, which is located in Lake County. I’m inside the house because it is raining like crazy outside. We actually just purchased this house yesterday.
This House Is In Pretty Good Shape
This house is in a 55 and older neighborhood and it’s in pretty good shape. There’s not a whole lot to do here, other than some minor repairs and minor cleaning, and then we will get this one listed and resold. The kitchen is just a basic kitchen. Everything is super clean, which is usually how 55 and older houses are. Older people tend to take care of their homes.
It’s a pretty cool little house. It’s a three-bedroom, two-bath house located in a guard-gated community with a golf course and all of the amenities. There are also no rear neighbors because the back of the house faces a large pasture. It’s a nice location and a nice house.
Why The Seller Chose To Sell Their House To Mid-Florida House Buyers
The seller actually had this house listed on the market with a real estate agent for several months, but it didn’t sell. The lady who owned it had some medical problems. Her son and other family members got involved to take care of her, and they just didn’t feel like listing it with the agent anymore. The agent wasn’t able to sell it. The house does need a few little repairs here and there. Typically, buyers in a 55 and older community are a little more picky than other buyers. So, when you have a house that needs a few things here and there, it can be a much bigger deal when trying to sell in a 55 and older neighborhood. But we do buy them. This is a perfect case study, I guess you could say, of a 55 and older house that we bought. So, they didn’t want to continue working with the Realtor, so we paid them cash and closed quickly, relieving them of the stress of dealing with it any longer.
Why The HOA Is Upset With Us
We actually bought this house so quickly that we got into trouble with the HOA. The HOA requires approval of buyers to ensure they’re 55 and older and that they are legitimate. We closed so quickly that they didn’t even get an application or anything, and we bought the house through our company. When I showed up at the gate just now to get in for the first time since we bought it, the guy at the gate didn’t want to let me in. He sent me to the office, and I had to talk to the HOA lady. She was a little grumpy because we hadn’t filled out the proper paperwork. We’ll appease them and go through the necessary steps, but she wasn’t happy about it. She actually told me I would have to leave the community and that I wasn’t allowed to visit the house until I was approved. But I just drove here anyway. We’ll get everything straightened out. We won’t fight them, and we’ll get this house cleaned up and resold.
We Buy Houses In 55+ Communities
So, the house is in great shape. Older people typically take care of their homes. We’ll make a few repairs, clean it up, and resell it to a 55-year-old person, as the HOA requires. Hopefully, they can live out their golden years here in Leesburg, in a guard-gated, golf community with swimming pools and tennis courts. It should be a good time for someone.
