Backstop Home Buyers Español (219) 419-4114

Northern Indiana homeowners and families

A house with a problem on it? Here are all your options.

Foreclosure, a parent's house still in their name, back taxes or a tax sale. Most people get one letter and a lot of calls from strangers, and nobody lays out the whole picture. We do, including the options that have nothing to do with us. If none of them work for you, we buy the house as is. That's what a backstop is.

Buying houses incounties, Indiana

Straight up, before anything else

We are not a law firm, a lender or a housing counselor, and we don't stop foreclosures or tax sales. We buy houses in northern Indiana for cash, as is. If keeping your home is possible, that's usually the better outcome, and our free resources page is where to start.

We'd rather you keep your house

It's hard to watch a family lose a home. There's almost always a reason behind it: a death, an illness, a lost job, a divorce. Everybody is going through something, and we get that.

So if you can keep your house, we hope you do. The houses we're happiest to buy are the empty ones: a parent's house nobody lives in anymore, or a place that has become a burden to keep up.

If selling turns out to be your best option, and better than waiting for a sheriff's sale or a tax sale, we're glad to buy it and we'll treat you fairly. We don't chase people who are behind on their mortgage, and we never pressure anyone. Free help for keeping your house is on our resources page.
