About Us

Why Damaged Properties Are Impossible to Sell Traditionally

Banks Won't Finance Damaged Homes

Traditional homebuyers need mortgages, and banks won't lend on properties that:

This eliminates 95%+ of potential buyers, leaving only cash investors like ROI National.

Repair Costs Are Overwhelming

The cost to repair severe damage often exceeds what homeowners can afford:

If insurance doesn’t cover the full cost—or denies the claim entirely—you’re left with impossible choices.

Time and Stress of Renovation

Even if you could afford repairs, consider:

Many Pennsylvania homeowners facing damaged properties simply want to move forward with their lives, not manage major construction projects.

How ROI National Handles Damaged Properties

We Buy As-Is, No Repairs Required

You don't need to:

We evaluate the damage, factor repair costs into our offer, and handle everything after closing.

We Have Experience With Severe Damage

ROI National has purchased hundreds of damaged properties across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. We've seen:

Nothing shocks us. If it’s standing (or partially standing), we can evaluate it.

We Work With Insurance Situations

Capital Gains Exclusion: If you lived in the home 2 of the last 5 years:

Timing matters: Filing jointly typically provides better tax treatment, so timing the sale with your divorce finalization can impact taxes owed.

Fast Closing When You Need It

Damaged properties create financial emergencies:

We can close in as little as 7-14 days, stopping the financial bleeding quickly.

Situations

Common Damaged Property Situations

Fire Destroyed the Kitchen, Insurance Won't Cover All Repairs

Your insurance paid $30,000 but the contractor quotes $65,000 to repair. You can't afford the $35,000 gap. ROI National buys the property, you keep the insurance payout, and you walk away without the burden.

Basement Floods Every Spring, Buyer Backed Out

You've dealt with recurring basement flooding for years. You found a buyer but they walked away after inspection revealed the extent of water damage and mold. Traditional buyers won't accept the risk, but we will.

Burst Pipe Caused Extensive Water Damage

A pipe burst during winter freeze, flooding multiple floors before you discovered it. Water sat for days, creating mold and structural damage. Insurance denied the claim citing maintenance issues. You need to sell quickly.

Foundation Cracking, House Condemned by Township

The township inspector condemned your property due to severe foundation cracks and structural concerns. You can't afford $40,000+ foundation repairs and the house is legally uninhabitable. We buy condemned properties.

Tree Fell on House During Storm

A large tree fell during a storm, damaging the roof, exterior wall, and interior. Insurance is paying but you don't want to rebuild—you want to relocate. We can purchase the property even during active insurance claims.

Inherited Fire-Damaged Property

You inherited a property that suffered fire damage years ago. It's been sitting vacant, deteriorating further. You can't afford restoration and don't want the liability. We buy inherited damaged properties.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've purchased properties with complete fire destruction, major foundation failures, extensive flood damage, and condemned buildings. Severe damage doesn't disqualify your property—it's exactly what we specialize in.

We calculate what the property would be worth in perfect condition, subtract our estimated repair costs (materials, labor, permits, time), subtract our profit margin as investors, and that's our cash offer. We're always transparent about the math.

You keep the insurance payout and we pay cash for the property. The insurance settlement is yours—it doesn't reduce our offer. This often means you come out ahead financially compared to rebuilding.

Often yes. We can structure the transaction to close before insurance pays out, or we can wait if that makes more sense for your situation. We're flexible based on your needs.

If you're underwater due to damage, we may be able to negotiate a short sale with your lender. They sometimes accept less than the full mortgage balance rather than dealing with foreclosure on a damaged property.

Typically 7-14 days once you accept our offer. If you need to close immediately due to financial strain, we can often expedite to close within a week.
