  • Built after 1900
  • Not located on a flood plain

Purchase Process

The evaluation and purchase process for individual property sales is fairly simple:

  1. Submit the property to Acts Homes by emailing sell@actshousing.org.
  2. If the property meets the criteria listed above, Acts Homes will contact you to schedule a walk-through.
  3. Acts Homes walks through the property (in-person) to develop a repair estimate.
  4. Acts Homes reviews pricing factors to decide whether an offer will be made on the property.
  5. 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.
