Every month a vacant property sits empty costs you $2,000–$4,000+ in mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance. 7 Lakes Properties can stop that drain within days — fair cash offer, fast close.
An empty house isn't just sitting idle — it's actively costing you money every month. Beyond the obvious costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance), vacant properties face accelerated deterioration: burst pipes, roof leaks, vandalism, squatters, and pest infestations. The longer it sits, the more expensive it becomes. See our Michigan cash home buyers guide to understand exactly what the cash sale process looks like.
Whether your vacant home is relatively well-maintained or has been sitting for years with deferred maintenance, we buy it as-is. No cleaning, no repairs, no securing the property before the sale. We've seen everything and nothing scares us away.
Vacant properties often accumulate code violations from the city — overgrown vegetation, broken windows, unsecured entry points. We purchase properties with open code violations and handle the remediation ourselves after closing.
Our average close time is 10–14 days for vacant properties. That means within two weeks, your mortgage, insurance, tax, and maintenance obligations transfer to us. Not next month — in two weeks.
Not necessarily. Vacant homes are often easier to inspect and close on than occupied ones. If the property is in good condition, being vacant can actually be an advantage. Condition and location matter far more than occupancy status.
No. Leave whatever you can't or don't want to move. We buy vacant properties completely as-is — furniture, personal belongings, trash, all of it. We handle the clean-out after closing.
We buy vandalized properties regularly. We factor the vandalism damage into our offer and handle all repairs after closing. This is far less stressful than trying to secure and repair the property yourself before listing.
In some cases, yes. The minimum is usually 5–7 business days due to title search requirements. If your situation requires extreme urgency, call us directly and we'll discuss what's possible.
