Went and looked at a house that was owned and being sold by Open door. We like the house but the way they buy and sell apparently is they purchase the property say 200k then go through the home and do a list of repairs. The company then charges the homeowners for the repairs so the final price might be 185k as final payout. So that the over all purchase price isn't lowered. Well afterwards they don't do the repairs they charged the now former home owner for and up the price 20% for sale as is.
Anyway just wondering if anyone has purchased anything from Open Door and how flexible on price they were. What's the General mark up with this kind of company? Seems they are going to make money they "paid" 274k and have it listed at 287. I'm not willing to go that high obviously. The comps for the area is 280k but this house has zero repairs as is but you still get your time for inspections.
