Termite inspection reports with Section 1 findings kill conventional deals — lenders require treatment and repairs before funding. Jay Buys Houses buys termite-damaged Long Beach homes for cash with no pre-sale treatment required.
California termite inspections classify findings as Section 1 (active infestation, visible damage requiring immediate treatment) or Section 2 (conditions likely to lead to infestation). Lenders typically require all Section 1 items to be corrected and verified before funding. This blocks most conventional buyers.
Termite treatment (fumigation or localized) runs $1,500–$5,000 in Long Beach. Repair of damaged structural wood — sill plates, subfloor joists, roof framing — adds $5,000–$40,000+ depending on extent. We factor these costs accurately rather than applying an inflated uncertainty discount.
Because we buy with cash, there is no lender requiring a clear termite report. We purchase with full knowledge of the termite report findings and factor treatment and repair costs into our offer. No fumigation tent, no repair certification — we take possession and handle it ourselves.
Jay Buys Houses has purchased many termite-damaged properties across Long Beach. Our renovation team accurately assesses the scope of structural wood damage — including hidden damage in subfloor, wall framing, and roof structure — so our offer reflects real costs, not inflated unknowns.
