Fire damaged property in a state this big
Texas is large enough that house fires happen in every kind of market, from big metro suburbs to small towns. Wildfire adds to that in rural areas. In 2024 the Smokehouse Creek Fire burned across the Panhandle and became the largest wildfire in state history.
For an investor, that means fire damaged houses are not one market. A kitchen fire in a suburban rental and a total loss on rural land are different deals. We tell you what we know about each one before you decide.
What to check on a Texas fire damaged house
Many Texas houses sit on a slab, and older ones on pier and beam. After a fire, the foundation type changes what you look at: slab cracks and water from firefighting on one, floor framing and subfloor on the other. Have your own inspector and contractor confirm scope and cost.
Wholesale and wholetail in Texas
Wholesale means we have the property under contract and you take over that contract. Wholetail means we own the property and sell it to you below retail. In both cases the price is set below what the house is worth after repair, and you run your own numbers before you commit. We verify your funds before any contract is signed.
Cities we cover in Texas
We sell fire damaged houses across Texas, including its three largest cities by population: Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. Tell us the cities and markets you buy in on step 2 of the form, and we send only the deals that match.
Closing in Texas
Texas closings run through a title company. For a wholesale deal, bring your title company in early so the assignment and the closing line up.
