Local records and safe access
If the building may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, stay out and follow the directions for that property. Contact the fire or building office responsible for the address before entering, cleaning, making repairs, or occupying; ask whether any permits or inspections apply to the work you are considering.
For recorded deed and land-record questions, use the Register of Deeds for the county where the property is located:
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
A rebuild or repaired listing may make sense if the work, time, access, and likely sale price justify taking it on. Compare contractor estimates, debris removal, any permits or inspections that apply, ongoing costs, and the likely net from a repaired listing against written as-is terms. The insurance-proceeds statement is not a prediction of the claim amount or a particular sale price.
The Lansing home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you compare planning assumptions for an as-is cash sale and listing, including repair, cleanout, holding, and selling costs. Change the inputs for this house; treat the result as an estimate, not an offer or insurance-payout estimate.

Questions and contact
Fire-Damaged House Questions
Can I sell a fire-damaged house in Lansing as-is?
Yes. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not need to rebuild before asking us to review the house.
Do I keep my insurance proceeds if I sell to USA Home Buyers?
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Do mortgage requirements go away when I sell?
No. A sale does not decide how your insurer or mortgage servicer applies claim proceeds or handles the loan. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Can I enter the house or start cleanup after a fire?
Do not enter if the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted access. Follow the directions for the property from the responsible fire or building officials, utility providers, and insurer; ask them before cleanup, repairs, or occupancy.
How do I compare rebuilding with selling as-is?
Compare actual repair and debris-removal estimates, any permit or inspection steps that apply to the address, ongoing costs, and the likely net from a repaired listing with written as-is terms. The calculator is a planning tool, not an insurance-payout estimate or an offer for your house.
When will I receive written terms?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
