No. BuyHousesInCash can close before, during, or after your insurance claim. Some sellers prefer to close fast and let us handle the claim post-close (we'd own the policy interest). Others want to settle first and pocket the proceeds, then sell to us at the as-is value. Both work — your choice.
Yes. Flooded and uninhabitable Hoover, Alabama homes are within our normal scope. Flood-damaged homes often have mold, foundation issues, electrical hazards — we buy regardless.
