(00:00):
(instrumental music plays) Everybody, welcome to theDanny Buys Houses podcast. I'm your host,
Danny Johnson, coming to you fromSan Antonio, Texas.
Uh, today's episode, I'm gonna be pulling back the curtainon who we are here at Danny Buys Houses
(00:20):
and we're gonna talk about our history, our mission, andwhy selling your house as is, fast, to us,
might be the lifeline that you need.
Plus, I'm gonna answer some listener questionsand show you how to get started.
All right, so who is Danny Buys Houses?
Well, that's me and my team. I'm Danny Johnson,longtime resident of San Antonio,
who's been in the real estate game for over two... Wow,it's been 20 years now. So back in 2003,
(00:46):
I started this company
as a way to,
uh, start investing in- in real estate,uh, for long term, uh,
financial reasons. You know, Iwanted to be able to,
uh, start my own business and be there for my kids and- andnot miss a thing. You know, be at every, uh,
sporting event and all that kind of things, and- and be ableto have the time to do what I wanted to do
(01:08):
and not, uh, be stuck at a job. And so that's why Igot into the real estate, uh, business
and actually bought my first house as afixer-upper to live in
and, uh, remodeled that house whileI was living in it,
and, uh, learned the- learned the ropes that way.And that was way back in 2003.
Uh, since then, uh, we've grown Danny Buys Housesand have- have done well over six,
(01:32):
seven, maybe even 800, uh, houses so far,
uh, since then here in San Antonio and surrounding areas likeSeguin, New Braunfels, and things like that.
So we're basically a local we buy houses typecompany, not some big, uh,
you know, out of town outfit or bigcorporation or anything
like that. We live here, we work here, andwe care about our community
(01:53):
and, uh, really do care about thehomeowners that we help,
uh, move through situations that are justdifficult and involve real
estate, involve a house that needsa lot of repairs.
Uh, you know, if you got tenants that youhad to kick out and they-
they really destroyed the house, I've beenthere so many times (laughs)
myself where, uh, you know, it's just like,wow, you know, I- I only made
(02:15):
maybe two months of rent and then hadto evict and that took
months, and when I got the house back, I had tofix it up and spend $10,000.
It's not fun, and I get thatsometimes, but, um,
we buy, we- we take care of situations like
that for people in San Antonio andsurrounding areas. So our mission
is, uh, simple but powerful, helpingSan Antonio homeowners
(02:35):
get to a better place in life and supportingthem through the process.
Now, that's not just a slogan. It's whatdrives us every single day
as we get up and look at- at houses andmake offers and, uh,
and get them fixed up and put on themarket and sold or rented
and things like that. So maybe you've inheriteda house that you don't want,
uh, maybe foreclosure's knockingat your door,
(02:57):
uh, or you're tired of dealing withtenants who trash the
place. Whatever the reason, we're here to take that burden offyour shoulders. Now, we buy houses for cash,
fast, and as is. So no repairs, no waiting, just afair deal so that you can move on.
Uh, just back into the history part of it,let me take you back to, uh,
to what- what got me even interested in- in the real estatething as being a part of this. M- my father
(03:21):
showed me how to- how to properlydetermine repair
costs on houses that need lots of repairs, 'causehe had been a contractor himself
for years when I was a kid
and actually helped him with a lot of demo
on houses, uh, you know, as they were being fixed upas a kid on a lot of the projects,
uh, that he did for his mentor in realestate investing. And so,
(03:42):
uh, when I saw
him start real estate investing himself in buyinghouses that needed work and fixing them up,
it got me hooked, and I began looking forthat first project. So
like I said, that first one was a HUD home that I, uh, thatI purchased that needed a ton of repairs.
Uh, and HUD stands for Housing and Urban Development.They actually sell HUD foreclosures
and, uh, FHA foreclosures,
(04:04):
and you can actually,
you know, buy those houses thatneed, uh, need work.
But the house was livable, so I livedin it while he fixed it
up and I enjoyed it so much, I began lookingfor another house to buy as is.
And that got me started in marketingdirectly to homeowners
to see if they wanted to sell their house for cash,and- and the ball really started rolling.
So I was flipping houses and talking to thehomeowners and I kept hearing the same thing.
(04:27):
Uh, you know, everybody was basically saying thingslike, "Danny, I just want this house gone.
I don't have time or the money to fix it up."
And they were stressed, going through divorces, dealingwith tax bills, you name it. And I thought,
you know, this is, uh,
this is really helping a lot of the people,
uh, that- that just need a quick way to do it sinceit's providing that solution. So
(04:48):
I had a software background. It's actuallywhat I went to college for,
and so I- I built and maintain our websiteat dannybuyshouses.com.
And so I'm pretty sure I first set thatwebsite up back in 2008.
There was one before it in 2005, but we don't needto get (laughs) into all of that.
Uh, I start to geek out aboutthat stuff. But,
(05:09):
uh, Danny Buys Houses is, uh, Iactually built
that website myself. If you've not visited, please checkit out and let me know what you think.
Uh, we've helped hundreds of homeowners
since then, like I've talked about. We've- we
played- we've bought houses with bustedroofs, fire damage even,
uh, even houses packed with stuff fromthe floor to the ceiling.
Every single time, we aim to leave peoplesmiling and glad that they found us.
(05:31):
Um,
and you might be wondering, so what sets you apart fromall the other people that buy houses? And,
you know, I th- I really feel like what setsus apart is that we're real.
You know, I've been doing this fortwo decades and we
built a reputation that you can trust.You can check out our
A+ accredited rating with the Better BusinessBureau that we've had since 2015,
(05:52):
since we started, uh, doing that with them.
And we're not here to waste your time. We give fair cashoffers based on what your house is worth,
as is, exactly the way it is. You don't have to e- you know,make any repairs to sell the house to us.
We close fast, sometimes in a week even,
uh, because we know life doesn't wait.
So the benefits. Why sell to us? First, there'sspeed. Traditional sales drag on.
(06:17):
I think the average right now in San Antoniois something like 125 days.
With us, you're done in days, andwhenever you're ready,
we can get it closed.
All right, so if you need
to be done and have this thing closed withinfive days, we can shoot for that,
uh, and get that done most of the time. If you need a little bitmore time, say you need a month or something,
(06:37):
we also can just schedule theclosing for that time.
Now, sometimes you might have a housethat you wanna sell,
uh, or need to sell even,
uh, but- but you need the money to move. You don't have thecash to be able to move and go on to the next
place that you're gonna be transitioning to.
And in those cases, we- we offer what's called alease-back. So we can close on it
(06:58):
and then you can still live there for a couple weeksor- or whatever we determine you need.
Uh, and then you have that time and you have some ofthe proceeds from the sale to be able
to make that transition. So if that's stopping you,don't let it. Uh, we're here to help.
All right,
let's see. So if, uh, you know, the- the secondbenefit of- of selling to us is
the, you know, no repairs obviously. Ifyou've got foundation,
(07:20):
uh, problems, which is super common in SanAntonio, it's almost like
what we should be asking people is, "Do you not havefoundation problems?" (laughs) 'Cause that'd be the-
that- that'd be the weird one, somebody
that's not having foundation problems. So, uh,owed taxes maybe eating at you.
All that stuff we can handle, wecan help you.
Uh, certainty is the next one. So, you know, there's no buyerloans that you risk having fall apart. So,
(07:44):
you know, the worst thing is having a situationwhere you need to move quickly,
you- you agree to sell it to somebody,
and then a week later or two weeks later,you're- you're already moved out
and then they're telling you, "Hey, we- we're notgonna close on it. We can't buy it,
because things... we- we weren't able to."
You know, you just don't need that (laughs) in your life,'cause then you're back to square one and
you're already moved on and thought it was done, and then hereyou are finding out that, no, it was not done,
(08:08):
and you have to start all over again. So ifyou don't want that, contact us
at Danny Buys Houses. We've gotthe track record.
Uh, we'll get that house closed.Fourth, yousave big. No agent fees.
Uh, you're not gonna pay thousands of dollars in commissionsto a real estate agent. No closing costs.
Uh, I mean, we pay typical closingcosts. We cover,
uh, all that stuff and there's no fee orcost for our service, right?
(08:31):
Fifth one is it's easy. You don't have
to clean up anything, you don't have to stage thehouse. You don't have to fix anything.
You can literally just take what you want out of thehouse, leave everything else behind,
and- and walk away, right? We'll take care of-take care of all that stuff.
Um,
so I wanna give you an example. A few years ago, a guy namedRobert reached out. He inherited his mom's house.
(08:52):
It was old, it was falling apart, andit was full of stuff.
Now, he lived in Dallas and couldn't dealwith it because it was just-
y- you know, with work and hisfamily and everything.
He said, "Danny, I just need thisgone." And, uh,
so we decided to go check it out. We gavehim a fair cash offer,
closed it in 10 days, and he didn'thave to lift a finger.
Uh, the closing was done remotely for him
out there in Dallas, so he didn't even have to cometo San Antonio to deal with it. And,
(09:16):
uh, that's basically like what we do, you know?Real estate solutions that work
depending on your situation. Allright? We've seen
plenty of situations having done so manyhundreds of- of deals.
So
now,
in the episode is when
I like to transition into doingthe, uh, listener
(09:37):
questions. So first up, "Danny, how doyou figure out the offer?
I'm facing foreclosure and I need toknow it's a fair offer."
Uh, this is from someone named Sarahin- here in San Antonio.
That's a great question, Sarah. You know, we look atyour house's value and its condition.
Uh, we don't need the house perfect. Webought places with major damage.
Uh, but we're basically looking at what's it cost to fix up?What could we sell it for? And then, uh, our- our
(10:02):
bit of profit on top of that, so that wecan determine the offer.
And, you know, really there's no cost to you to get anoffer from us. So I could tell you,
uh, you know, specific formulas, but thosedepend on what we're gonna do with
the house. If we're gonna rent it, sellit, all those things. But
rather than just confuse you withall that stuff,
uh, if you just wanna fill out the form ondannybuyshouses.com or give us a call,
(10:23):
let us know about the exact property.
Uh, we can take a look at it and we can make you anoffer. There's no cost to do it.
Uh, literally walking through the house and-and looking at what it needs
and determining the offer most of the time onlytakes like, uh, about 30 minutes,
right? So there's- there's no cost orobligation to accept our offer.
Uh, you can have it and, uh,
(10:44):
and you know, if you're not ready to sell or yousay, "You know, I wanna think on it."
You can do that, you know, take your time
and get back to us. So that's what I advise,uh, if you're interested in-
in doing that, just get in touch with us.
All right.
Hopefully that helped Sarah.
And here's another one. "I've got bad tenants who wrecked myrental. Can you still buy it?" Hey, Miguel,
(11:06):
uh, from New Braunfels. Yeah,absolutely. We've seen-
we've seen all these trash houses,eviction leftovers.
Um, you don't gotta fix a thing. We'lltake care of it and, uh,
buy it as is. And let's see. "What if
I have one with tenants still?"
Uh, that's a, you know, anothersituation we could talk
about. We can- we just need to knowthe exact situation.
(11:26):
Uh, we have bought houses with tenants before, so it'sdefinitely something that we can do.
Uh, you'll just have to get intouch with us though,
uh, Miguel, and we'll- we'll get into that.
Last one. "What's the catch?"(laughs) "Why no fees?"
Uh, yeah, I get it. You know, we... Uh,
Linda from- from Boerne. There's no catch really. Youknow, we're real estate investors.
Uh, we make money by fixing up the housesand selling them later.
(11:49):
And that lets us skip fees and commissions
because we're gonna make a profit on reselling thehouse. So you don't pay anything,
uh,
you know, to fix up the house or to even sell the house.You're just basically getting an offer for
the house in its current condition.
And, uh, we have contractors that wecan have the work done
at a lower rate than- than youmight as a homeowner
(12:10):
because we keep them busy and they're willing to give usdiscounted rates to get the houses fixed up so we can
build in a lot of our profit that way.
Now, obviously we're not making-we're not paying,
you know, top of market price as a fixedup house for your house.
Uh, we've gotta have some room in it to beable to make that profit. So,
uh, if the house is in great shape andyou're not in a hurry,
(12:32):
you know, listing through an agent's
could be your- your best bet to getthe highest, uh, dollar
for your property. So
just keep that in mind.
All right. Anybody else listening have morequestions, you can hit me up.
I'm here to help and glad to answerthose on a future episode.
And, uh, if you're interested in getting started, you wannaget a- an offer for your house in San Antonio,
(12:55):
uh, head over todannybuyshouses.com. It's right
there on the homepage. You're gonna seeour fast cash offer form.
Fill it out. Takes like two minutes.
And tell us about your house, where itis, what shape it's in.
And be honest, we've seen worse than youthink. Trust me. (laughs) And, uh,
just submit it. You know, don't- don't,uh, second guess it.
You got nothing to lose. We don'tcharge anything.
(13:16):
Uh, we'll call you pretty quickly and set up an appointment togo see the house and make you the cash offer.
Uh, so that's- that's basically really it, youknow? And then- then you can
decide whether you want to accept that andwe'll sign a purchase agreement.
And if not, then, uh, no harm, no foul.
No problem. All right?
So I know selling a house can- can feel heavy,it can be daunting. And, uh,
(13:40):
you know, whatever the situation is,
um, you know, a lot of times,
you know, there's some hesitation in contacting someone, acash home buyer like Danny Buys Houses because,
uh, you know, a lot of times,
you know, people can be a little bitembarrassed about the situation.
And I just wanna urge you to not be,because really it's about,
(14:00):
you know, taking care of yourselfand your family
and moving through that situation bymaking smart decisions,
and, uh, you know, getting a cash offer fromus doesn't cost you anything.
And it's taking action towards resolvingwhatever situation that you're facing.
And I'm not trying to minimize anybody's
situation. I know it stinks. I've beenthrough tough situations myself.
(14:21):
Um,
and, uh, you know, it's never fun, but we all haveto get through them and we have to-
to push and- and really work through it. So
if you'd like to get a cash offer from us, feel free togive us a call or visit dannybuyshouses.com.
And that's it. Really, that's all I got fortoday, friends. Thanks for listening.
If, uh, this helps, share it with somebody who'smaybe stuck with a house they don't want
(14:44):
or need, or a situation they don't want orneed and want to get through.
Uh, and the next episode we're gonna dig into howto spot a legitimate cash buyer,
right? So if you're saying, "How do I... Iknow there's... I'm getting,
you know, postcards and letters from differentpeople about buying my house. How do
I know who's legit and who's, uh, who'sgonna be able to actually
(15:05):
close and do what they say they'regonna do?" All righty.

that- that'd be the weird one, somebody
that's not having foundation problems. So, uh,owed taxes maybe eating at you.
All that stuff we can handle, wecan help you.
Uh, certainty is the next one. So, you know, there's no buyerloans that you risk having fall apart. So,
(07:44):
you know, the worst thing is having a situationwhere you need to move quickly,
you- you agree to sell it to somebody,
and then a week later or two weeks later,you're- you're already moved out
and then they're telling you, "Hey, we- we're notgonna close on it. We can't buy it,
because things... we- we weren't able to."
You know, you just don't need that (laughs) in your life,'cause then you're back to square one and
you're already moved on and thought it was done, and then hereyou are finding out that, no, it was not done,
(08:08):
and you have to start all over again. So ifyou don't want that, contact us
at Danny Buys Houses. We've gotthe track record.
Uh, we'll get that house closed.Fourth, yousave big. No agent fees.
Uh, you're not gonna pay thousands of dollars in commissionsto a real estate agent. No closing costs.
Uh, I mean, we pay typical closingcosts. We cover,
uh, all that stuff and there's no fee orcost for our service, right?
(08:31):
Fifth one is it's easy. You don't have
to clean up anything, you don't have to stage thehouse. You don't have to fix anything.
You can literally just take what you want out of thehouse, leave everything else behind,
and- and walk away, right? We'll take care of-take care of all that stuff.
Um,
so I wanna give you an example. A few years ago, a guy namedRobert reached out. He inherited his mom's house.
(08:52):
It was old, it was falling apart, andit was full of stuff.
Now, he lived in Dallas and couldn't dealwith it because it was just-
y- you know, with work and hisfamily and everything.
He said, "Danny, I just need thisgone." And, uh,
so we decided to go check it out. We gavehim a fair cash offer,
closed it in 10 days, and he didn'thave to lift a finger.
Uh, the closing was done remotely for him
out there in Dallas, so he didn't even have to cometo San Antonio to deal with it. And,
(09:16):
uh, that's basically like what we do, you know?Real estate solutions that work
depending on your situation. Allright? We've seen
plenty of situations having done so manyhundreds of- of deals.
So
now,
in the episode is when
I like to transition into doingthe, uh, listener
(09:37):
questions. So first up, "Danny, how doyou figure out the offer?
I'm facing foreclosure and I need toknow it's a fair offer."
Uh, this is from someone named Sarahin- here in San Antonio.
That's a great question, Sarah. You know, we look atyour house's value and its condition.
Uh, we don't need the house perfect. Webought places with major damage.
Uh, but we're basically looking at what's it cost to fix up?What could we sell it for? And then, uh, our- our
(10:02):
bit of profit on top of that, so that wecan determine the offer.
And, you know, really there's no cost to you to get anoffer from us. So I could tell you,
uh, you know, specific formulas, but thosedepend on what we're gonna do with
the house. If we're gonna rent it, sellit, all those things. But
rather than just confuse you withall that stuff,
uh, if you just wanna fill out the form ondannybuyshouses.com or give us a call,
(10:23):
let us know about the exact property.
Uh, we can take a look at it and we can make you anoffer. There's no cost to do it.
Uh, literally walking through the house and-and looking at what it needs
and determining the offer most of the time onlytakes like, uh, about 30 minutes,
right? So there's- there's no cost orobligation to accept our offer.
Uh, you can have it and, uh,
(10:44):
and you know, if you're not ready to sell or yousay, "You know, I wanna think on it."
You can do that, you know, take your time
and get back to us. So that's what I advise,uh, if you're interested in-
in doing that, just get in touch with us.
All right.
Hopefully that helped Sarah.
And here's another one. "I've got bad tenants who wrecked myrental. Can you still buy it?" Hey, Miguel,
(11:06):
uh, from New Braunfels. Yeah,absolutely. We've seen-
we've seen all these trash houses,eviction leftovers.
Um, you don't gotta fix a thing. We'lltake care of it and, uh,
buy it as is. And let's see. "What if
I have one with tenants still?"
Uh, that's a, you know, anothersituation we could talk
about. We can- we just need to knowthe exact situation.
(11:26):
Uh, we have bought houses with tenants before, so it'sdefinitely something that we can do.
Uh, you'll just have to get intouch with us though,
uh, Miguel, and we'll- we'll get into that.
Last one. "What's the catch?"(laughs) "Why no fees?"
Uh, yeah, I get it. You know, we... Uh,
Linda from- from Boerne. There's no catch really. Youknow, we're real estate investors.
Uh, we make money by fixing up the housesand selling them later.
(11:49):
And that lets us skip fees and commissions
because we're gonna make a profit on reselling thehouse. So you don't pay anything,
uh,
you know, to fix up the house or to even sell the house.You're just basically getting an offer for
the house in its current condition.
And, uh, we have contractors that wecan have the work done
at a lower rate than- than youmight as a homeowner
(12:10):
because we keep them busy and they're willing to give usdiscounted rates to get the houses fixed up so we can
build in a lot of our profit that way.
Now, obviously we're not making-we're not paying,
you know, top of market price as a fixedup house for your house.
Uh, we've gotta have some room in it to beable to make that profit. So,
uh, if the house is in great shape andyou're not in a hurry,
(12:32):
you know, listing through an agent's
could be your- your best bet to getthe highest, uh, dollar
for your property. So
just keep that in mind.
All right. Anybody else listening have morequestions, you can hit me up.
I'm here to help and glad to answerthose on a future episode.
And, uh, if you're interested in getting started, you wannaget a- an offer for your house in San Antonio,
(12:55):
uh, head over todannybuyshouses.com. It's right
there on the homepage. You're gonna seeour fast cash offer form.
Fill it out. Takes like two minutes.
And tell us about your house, where itis, what shape it's in.
And be honest, we've seen worse than youthink. Trust me. (laughs) And, uh,
just submit it. You know, don't- don't,uh, second guess it.
You got nothing to lose. We don'tcharge anything.
(13:16):
Uh, we'll call you pretty quickly and set up an appointment togo see the house and make you the cash offer.
Uh, so that's- that's basically really it, youknow? And then- then you can
decide whether you want to accept that andwe'll sign a purchase agreement.
And if not, then, uh, no harm, no foul.
No problem. All right?
So I know selling a house can- can feel heavy,it can be daunting. And, uh,
(13:40):
you know, whatever the situation is,
um, you know, a lot of times,
you know, there's some hesitation in contacting someone, acash home buyer like Danny Buys Houses because,
uh, you know, a lot of times,
you know, people can be a little bitembarrassed about the situation.
And I just wanna urge you to not be,because really it's about,
(14:00):
you know, taking care of yourselfand your family
and moving through that situation bymaking smart decisions,
and, uh, you know, getting a cash offer fromus doesn't cost you anything.
And it's taking action towards resolvingwhatever situation that you're facing.
And I'm not trying to minimize anybody's
situation. I know it stinks. I've beenthrough tough situations myself.
(14:21):
Um,
and, uh, you know, it's never fun, but we all haveto get through them and we have to-
to push and- and really work through it. So
if you'd like to get a cash offer from us, feel free togive us a call or visit dannybuyshouses.com.
And that's it. Really, that's all I got fortoday, friends. Thanks for listening.
If, uh, this helps, share it with somebody who'smaybe stuck with a house they don't want
(14:44):
or need, or a situation they don't want orneed and want to get through.
Uh, and the next episode we're gonna dig into howto spot a legitimate cash buyer,
right? So if you're saying, "How do I... Iknow there's... I'm getting,
you know, postcards and letters from differentpeople about buying my house. How do
I know who's legit and who's, uh, who'sgonna be able to actually
(15:05):
close and do what they say they'regonna do?" All righty.
This is Danny Johnson from Danny BuysHouses saying take care
and, uh, catch you next time.
