Selling a property with "Subject To" Buyers
Hello Fellow BP'ers,
I just listed one of my flips this past weekend and had the first open house on Saturday. It was a huge hit with 83 people going through the house and subsequent showings throughout the proceeding days. However, as of now, we have only received 1 offer which is going to expire tomorrow. This is a full price offer however, the buyer wants me to pay 6000 in closing costs and the offer is subject to the buyer selling their house. They currently have a pending offer and are simply waiting on an appraisal for their house. However, I am not too sure how long this will take and I will also have to wait for an appraisal of my house to be done as well. I am looking to sell this house ASAP and get rolling on a few other properties. Does anyone have any words of wisdom about these "Subject To" offers? I am a little hesitant to take it due to the fact that its going to take an undisclosed amount of time to close, yet I do not want to decline this offer to only receive lower offers from then on. Plus, if the buyers pending offer falls apart, I am going to be stuck waiting on them to sell their house. Any insight that anyone has will be greatly appreciated!
