I’ve lived in Phoenix, Arizona, for a little over five years.
I moved to the area directly out of college. I took a job in my field that showed a great deal of promise. Expecting promotion, raises and company growth, I decided to buy a home rather than rent. Unfortunately, I invested into a home that was at the very limit of my budget. I anticipated making more money as the months and years went by and had high hopes of renovations and improvements. For a little while, everything was wonderful. I had plenty of money and a bright future. The decline of the company happened rather quickly. I suddenly found myself without a job and struggling with extensive debt. I could barely cover groceries, gas and my car payment. I fell behind on my mortgage. Gradually, things started going wrong with the house. The air conditioner no longer provided sufficient cool air to keep the living space comfortable. There was a plumbing leak that caused water damage to the floors. The dishwasher no longer worked at all and the refrigerator was temperamental. There were concerns with the roof, water heater and septic. When it looked like I was going to lose the home to foreclosure, I contacted a cash home buyer. They were really amazing to work with. They answered all of my questions, set me at ease and provided a realistic cash offer. Every stage of the process was completed quickly and without any hassles. They handled all of the closing fees and paperwork. All I needed to do was sign some papers and hand over the keys.
