FAQ
San Juan fire-damaged home questions.
- Can I keep my San Juan insurance payout?
- Usually yes, sale proceeds are separate from the insurance settlement. Check your specific policy and any mortgage clause first.
- Will buyers want a structural report?
- Most cash investors in Puerto Rico run their own walk-through and don't require third-party inspections. The price reflects the damage seen on site.
- What about a partial-burn or smoke-only loss?
- Buyers price it accordingly. Smoke and water damage often costs more to remediate than visible fire damage, and offers account for that.
- How fast can a fire-damaged San Juan home close?
- cash closing timing varies by contract and title work. Title is usually clean unless there's a mechanic's lien from remediation work.
