While Zillow For Sale By Owner is free to list, the user interface on your Zillow property listing page is designed for interested buyers to click 'Contact Agent' in order to inquire about the house and schedule a showing. The user experience is designed to make it difficult for the buyer to contact the seller directly. Zillow does this because agents pay them for for buyer leads.

 

This places the seller in a situation where they either need to pay the buyer's agent commission, or they need to have the buyer pay the buyer's agent. Both scenarios place the buyer in an uncomfortable situation since they were the one to find the listing and the seller may not have priced the listing to include paying the buyer's agent. If the seller is going to pay the buyer's agent, they might raise their price. From our experience, this complicates an otherwise straightforward transaction flow.

If you know OfferMarket, you know we are an investment property marketplace that connects sellers and buyers without agents and expensive fees.

 

What you may not know is that we are actively acquiring select rental properties through LLCs that are managed and co-owned by OfferMarket and select limited partners (investors). 

 

We call this our Portfolio product, and we’re excited about it for two reasons:

 

1. Sellers get a reliable, competitive offer where they can close fast
2. Investors get completely passive exposure to attractive cash-flowing single family rental properties

 

Investors collect quarterly distributions that target 8% annualized yield, and have the ability to sell some or all of their stake on our marketplace at any time.

 

## Let’s take a look at one of the rental properties purchased through OfferMarket Portfolio:

 

The seller was tired of being a landlord and needed to free-up cash to invest in fix and flip projects in a different market. The seller found OfferMarket online and created their free listing. The property met our criteria with minimal rehab required, performing tenants in place, and an opportunity to raise rent to market rate.

 

## So we submitted our direct purchase offer:

 

- Purchase price: $105,000
- Contingencies: none, AS IS
- Closing costs: paid by Buyer
- Financing: Cash
- Close by: 30 days

 

Instead of waiting for other buyers on our marketplace to evaluate the listing and submit offers, the seller accepted our offer because it was competitive and time was of the essence.

 

We closed in March 2021 in 25 days and renewed the tenant at $1,250/month for a 12 month lease.

 

To date (October 1, 2021), after just 7 months, the property has returned 6.88% to investors. This is without any debt. The property is worth $125,000 - $140,000. If we refinance, the investors will be looking at a distribution of roughly 100% of their initial investment and $500 of monthly cash flow.

 

## Repeat business

 

Two months later we bought another property from this same landlord who came back to us because of how easy we make it to sell your rental property. That investment property was purchased for $295,000 with tenants set to renew at $3,200 per month.

What is a Cash Backed Offer?

Cash Backed Offer Financing Contingency

Cash Backed Offer Appraisal Contingency

The Rise of Power Buyers and iBuyers

## What is a Cash Backed Offer?

 

A cash backed offer means the buyer's offer is guaranteed by a [power buyer](https://www.offermarket.us/real-estate-glossary/power-buyer) and therefore there is no financing contingency and reduced appraisal contingency risk.

 

A buyer who submits a cash-backed offer is working with a mortgage lender, usually the power buyer, to fund the purchase of a property. If there is a delay or financing falls through, the power buyer steps in and purchases the home in cash on behalf of the buyer and works with the buyer after the transaction to secure a mortgage on the property.

 

This empowers the buyer the ability to make what is effectively a cash offer, significantly increasing the probability of the offer being accepted.

 

[Power Buyer](https://www.offermarket.us/real-estate-glossary/power-buyer) services enable these cash-backed offers to help home buyers provide a superior offer and get their offer accepted. 

 

## Cash Backed Offer Financing Contingency

 

With a cash backed offer from a power buyer, the buyer can submit an offer without a financing contingency. This give the buyer an advantage because an offer without a financing contingency is more attractive and desirable to the seller.

 


## Cash Backed Offer Appraisal Contingency

 

With a cash-backed offer, the power buyer can assist the buyer in the event the appraisal comes in lower than the purchase price in the contract. The power buyer can help bridge the appraisal gap by reducing the buyer's closing costs. This increases the probability that the transaction will close successfully without significant delays.

Power buyers use cash-backed offers to give buyers an edge, significantly increasing the chances of their offer being accepted in competitive markets.
