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 Murrieta, California homes are within our normal scope. Flood-damaged homes often have mold, foundation issues, electrical hazards — we buy regardless.

Structural damage — settling, sinkholes, foundation failure, leaning walls — falls within our as-is purchase scope. We've bought Murrieta homes that needed full demolition.

There's no legal deadline, but practical clocks tick: insurance claim deadlines (typically 1 year from loss in California), city safety orders, mortgage default if you can't make payments, mold growth, weather exposure.
