Not every repair raises your net. In Knoxville’s market, time, contractor risk, and carrying costs matter as much as ARV.
Fix-up can win when…
- Repairs are cosmetic and cheap
- You have cash and 2–4 months
- Comps support a higher retail price
As-is often wins when…
- Roof, HVAC, foundation, or systems are major
- You need speed or certainty
- You will not manage contractors
We buy houses as-is across East Tennessee and can also discuss creative options when they improve your net. See solutions.
