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.
