What we buy with code violations
We can buy the house with its code violations and repair needs. You do not have to start the repairs or clean out the property before talking with us about a sale.
What can affect closing
Michigan's dangerous-building law allows a proceeding that can lead to an order to demolish a building, make it safe, or maintain it. If the owner does not comply, the municipality can pursue the work and recover its costs. Unpaid costs can become a property lien only after required notice and recording steps. See Michigan's dangerous-building law, MCL 125.540–125.541 and its notice, cost-recovery, and lien provisions.
Some Michigan cities require an inspection, occupancy certificate, or approved compliance arrangement before a sale. An as-is sale does not automatically erase an existing order, court case, deadline, or seller obligation before closing.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
