Home Acquisition Criteria
There are a few straightforward criteria that Acts Homes must adhere to when assessing a property for acquisition:
- 1,000 sq. ft. minimum
- Located in Milwaukee County/Rock County
- Minimum 3 bedroom, 1 full bath with a shower over tub
- Built after 1900
- Not located on a flood plain
- No well and septic
- No fieldstone foundations
- Connected to City water and sewer (no wells or septic systems)
- No major structural foundation issues
- No oil tank heating
- An in-person walkthrough is required
Purchase Process
The evaluation and purchase process for individual property sales is fairly simple:
- Submit the property to Acts Homes by emailing sell@actshousing.org.
- If the property meets the criteria listed above, Acts Homes will contact you to schedule a walk-through.
- Acts Homes walks through the property (in-person) to develop a repair estimate.
- Acts Homes reviews pricing factors to decide whether an offer will be made on the property.
- If an offer is made and accepted by the seller, a closing date is scheduled.
Pricing and Offers
Acts Homes will provide competitive, cash offers on single-family homes and duplexes that fit the needs of low-to-moderate income (LMI) owner-occupants. Sellers of unoccupied properties can anticipate a 30-day turnaround from accepted offer to closing.
Our pricing model is based on a calculation including the asking price, market value or after-repair value of the home, and a comparable market analysis.
Portfolio Sales
Acts Homes has the ability to quickly assess portfolios of properties for sale by landlords and wholesalers. Ideally, we are acquiring portfolios of single-family homes and duplexes in one transaction. Properties can have tenants at the time of sale, and Acts Homes will honor existing lease agreements.
