What Travis brings cash buyers
- MLS alerts built around your buy box: price, area, beds, condition, days on market.
- Off-market leads: sellers in foreclosure, probate, divorce, lien trouble and tired landlords contact him directly.
- Comps checked by hand, so your after-repair value isn't a guess.
- Offers written to win: proof of funds, short inspection periods and quick closings.
- Connections to contractors, property managers, title companies and lenders for refinancing.
Tell him your buy box
The more specific, the faster he can send the right property: towns or ZIP codes, price range, flip or rental, how much rehab you'll take on, closing speed, and how you'll prove funds.
Run the numbers the way he does
A common starting rule for flips is the 70% rule: maximum offer = after-repair value × 70% − repairs. Worked example: a home worth $220,000 after repairs, needing $40,000 in work: $220,000 × 0.70 = $154,000, minus $40,000 = $114,000 maximum offer. It's a rule of thumb, not a guarantee; holding time and selling costs still matter.
For rentals, compare rent to price and expenses. Example: a $130,000 house renting for $1,350. Subtract taxes, insurance, repairs, vacancy and management, say $500 a month, leaving $850, or $10,200 a year, about 7.8% on an all-cash purchase before any appreciation.
Why use an agent when you pay cash
You get MLS access, legally sound contracts, earnest money held properly and someone checking title, survey and disclosures. In many listings, the seller pays the buyer agent, so it may cost you nothing; Travis will confirm in writing before you sign.
