Exploring Flexible Offer Structures: What to Do When a Cash Offer Isn't the Best Fit

When selling your home, it’s easy to assume that a cash offer is the only straightforward option. While cash offers can be quick and simple, they’re not always the best solution for every homeowner or every situation. At Just Jolly Investments, we work with sellers to explore multiple offer structures to ensure the process works for their unique needs. Here’s a breakdown of different ways we can create an offer that works for you—even if cash isn’t the ideal fit.

1. Cash Offers: Fast and Straightforward

Cash offers are often the go-to choice for homeowners who want to sell quickly and with minimal hassle. They’re perfect if:

• You want to close fast.

• Your property needs repairs you don’t want to handle.

• You’re ready to move on without dealing with contingencies or drawn-out negotiations.

But what if a cash offer doesn’t meet your expectations for price or flexibility? That’s when we look at other creative solutions.

2. Seller Financing: Creating a Win-Win Situation

If you’re open to receiving payments over time instead of a lump sum, seller financing could be a great option. Here’s how it works:

• You become the lender: Instead of us getting a loan from a bank, you “finance” the purchase, and we pay you in installments.

• You maintain control: This structure can allow you to earn interest, which might mean more money in the long run.

• No banks required: This approach bypasses the traditional hurdles of bank financing, simplifying the process.

Seller financing is a good option if you don’t need all the money upfront and would like steady income from the sale.

3. Lease Purchase: Selling with Flexibility

A lease purchase—sometimes called rent-to-own—blends renting with a plan to sell. Here’s what that looks like:

• We lease the property from you with the intent to buy it after a set period.

• During the lease, you receive regular rental income.

• At the end of the lease, we finalize the purchase at a pre-agreed price.

This option works well if you’re not in a rush to sell but still want to generate income from the property while waiting for the sale to close.

4. Sub-To (Subject To): A Creative Solution for Unique Situations

If your home still has a mortgage, a “subject to” structure might make sense. In this case:

• We take over the responsibility of your mortgage payments while purchasing the property.

• You can step away from the property without worrying about foreclosure or having to make ongoing payments.

• This approach can provide relief if you’re struggling to keep up with payments or you've relocated and want relief from the paymets.

While this sounds complex, it’s a seamless way to sell your property while avoiding common financial challenges. (Click Here To Learn More About Subject To)

5. Partnerships

Sometimes, we can partner on a property to find the best solution for everyone. For example:

• We could work together to improve the home and sell it for a higher price.

• You share in the profit without having to take on the entire project yourself.

This structure is ideal if you’re open to collaboration and want to maximize your return. This may not be ideal in all scenarios, but it can be a creative solution.

6. Hybrid Approaches: Tailored Solutions for Your Needs

The truth is, every situation is different, and sometimes the best approach is a combination of options. We’ll sit down with you, listen to your goals, and craft an offer structure that makes sense for your unique needs.
