What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

What can affect closing
Idaho cities can remove a nuisance and charge the responsible party for the work. A city can also assess the cost against the property. If the assessment is unpaid 30 days after the notice is mailed, the city can certify it to the county tax collector, where it is collected with city taxes. Read Idaho Code §50-334 on nuisance removal and assessments and §50-1008 on collecting unpaid city assessments.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Send us the city notice or order. We'll talk through the repair list, dates, and charges with you, and the title company can check what remains open.

What our sellers say
“The house in Allentown was sitting empty for 2 years after my dad passed. getting code violations from the city. sold it to them for cash, no cleanup needed.”
“The house had some foundation issues and hadn't been updated since the 80s. I got quotes from contractors and the repair costs were going to eat everything I'd make listing it. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. I'm glad I called.”
