What is a “Quick Sale” in real estate?

Posted by: | Comments (2)
quick property sales

I have property in New Orleans that has a house (which has been gutted) on it. This property was affected due to hurricane Katrina. I’m not if that has any relevance to what I’m about to ask, but just wanted to mention it, because it has relevance in the reasoning of why I am selling it for such a cheap price.

I was contacted by a contractor who is willing to buy it from me. He is offering me much less than what the property/dwelling is worth. I am going to take his offer because honestly at this point, I just want it out of my hands. I own the property out right. I paid off my mortgage two years ago and there is no lien on the property.

Here is my question- he has been handling everything and says that my husband and I just need to show up to sign paperwork next tuesday. He says we are going to do a “quick sale” and that he will pay us right then and there with cash. (I’m assuming he means a cashier’s check and not literally cash) This whole process has taken only about two weeks. I’m starting to get concerned that maybe I’m missing something? I’m anxious to get this over with and I’m sure he knows that. I just don’t want to be taken advantge of even more so than I already am by accepting less than what the property is worth…
Is there anything I should know going into this?
What exactly is a “quick sale”?
…btw, I did ask this same question a couple hours ago but got zero responses. I figured if I used a different heading for the question, I might get more answers…

In other words, how do you go from nothing into generating cash month after month without having to buy property or becoming somebody’s landlord?

My uncle makes money by charging people rent for living in his duplex
how would one go about doing that? what about in another state or country?
please give me a lot of ideas or website links for more
like if I wanted to buy property and make money renting it out to people in Miami

I heard a TV real estate guru say that a person could buy property and receive cash back at closing. Anyone know how this is done?
