The ban on evictions has been lifted. However, the road to regaining control of rental properties is fraught with obstacles for owners. Many of them are selling

A concerned mother called us to sell us her daughter’s house. The young woman had fallen into a severe state of depression as a result of the emotional conflicts she suffered due to the loss of her job and personal relationship.

En esta publicación, discutimos la poca o ninguna protección para pequeños propietarios y propietarios de viviendas en Portland y los EE. UU por parte del gobierno federal y local. La pandemia del COVID-19 está afectando a todos y a casi todas las industrias. La Ley CARES que defiende a inquilinos y titulares de préstamos hipotecarios respaldados por el gobierno federal, no incluye préstamos privados poniendo a más de un millón de propietarios en riesgo de perder sus propiedades.

In this post, we are pointing out how the new Coronavirus pandemic has changed our traditional Christmas celebrations. It's usually not the way 2021 begins. Lockdowns, restrictions, illnesses, and a shaky economy welcome the new year.

In this post, we want to share our joy in helping some of those most in need in our community. For now, our action of providing the ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner to a few people in Portland is just a small part of our commitment to giving back to our community.

In this post, we discuss little to no protection for small landlords and homeowners in Portland and the US. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting everyone and nearly every industry. The CARES Act does not include private loans that put more than one million homeowners and landlords at risk of losing their properties.

This page covers closing costs and how they are calculated in Portland, Oregon. It includes information on selling to an investor vs. working with an agent. Closing costs are an essential part of a home sale transaction that may be expensive. By selling your house to Better Off Home Buyers you save money and time.

In this post, we talk about some of the desperate homeowners that we at Better Off Home Buyers were able to help by purchasing their rental homes. Many small landlords are struggling because of COVID-19 hardship. We are offering to buy their properties with tenants or empty.

In this post, we express frustration and fear that individual homeowners live in Portland and throughout the state of Oregon. Many tenants have stopped paying their rent and this puts landlords at risk of losing their rental homes. Federal and state government regulations protect tenants but have left individual homeowners adrift, who fear they won't be able to meet their mortgage commitments before the economy returns to normal. Banks are doing the bare minimum required by law to help homeowners and will ultimately be the ones to get most of the pie when moratorium regulations end.

In this post, we present three different situations that our clients are experiencing. The COVID-19 epidemic is damaging to Portland and the United States. Many homeowners and small landlords with non-federally backed home loans are helpless prey in a jungle infested with unscrupulous hungry bankers and moneylenders.

The CARES Act, signed by the president, gives relief to mortgage loans backed by the federal government, but 15 million loans do not have that protection, they are at the mercy of private lenders. Today, 1.6 million unsecured loans are in foreclosure. The third quarter of 2020 is likely to be the scene of the beginning of the great wave of foreclosures.

In this publication we are talking about foreclosures in Portland, the devastating effect it has on the finances and the spirit of those who cannot continue with their mortgage payments, and the solution that Better off Home Buyers proposes.

In this post we discuss the misconception about real estate investors mission. The appraisal process and how important it is to the homeowners to know.
