Call (555) 555-CASHYes. BuyHousesInCash buys condemned and uninhabitable properties in Rutland, Vermont routinely.

We're investors, not occupants — we buy with plans to either rehab to code or, in extreme cases, demolish and rebuild. Your condemnation order becomes our problem.
Accrued code enforcement fines in Rutland are typically liens against the property. They get paid off at closing from sale proceeds, just like a mortgage or tax lien.

Yes, but timing matters. Vermont demolition orders typically allow 30-90 days before the city begins demolition proceedings. If we close before the demolition, the property and order transfer to us.
