What we take on

Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
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.
Wisconsin’s fire-loss law allows a holdback from qualifying claims for certain city demolition or nuisance costs only in cities with 150,000 or more residents. The 2020 Census count for Oshkosh was below that threshold, so this state-law holdback does not apply here. A separate local safety, repair, or demolition order may still apply.
