We buy houses for cash in McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco and across Hidalgo County — any condition, on your timeline.
Need to sell a house fast in McAllen? River Capital buys homes for cash in any condition — no repairs, no showings, no commissions. And because Texas law requires written disclosure of our interest in a contract, you'll always know exactly who you're dealing with and in what capacity.
From North McAllen and Palm View to Las Milpas, and out through Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, San Juan, Alamo and Weslaco, we buy houses that a traditional listing struggles with — delinquent property taxes, inherited and probate homes, liens and clouded title, hurricane or water damage, foundation problems, and tired rentals. We'll explain how we arrive at our number and be straight with you about whether selling to us or listing serves you better. No fees, no pressure.
Tell us about the property. A no-obligation cash offer takes about a minute to request.
We help McAllen homeowners in the situations that make a traditional sale hard: foreclosure, delinquent property taxes, inherited or probate homes, liens and title problems, storm and water damage, and worn-out rentals. Because we pay cash, we can structure a clean, simple sale and clear many of those issues at closing.

A word on timing, because it drives the decision. As of July 2026, Texas A&M’s Real Estate Research Center put the McAllen–Edinburg–Mission metro at roughly 113 days to sell and about 9.2 months of inventory — six months is the conventional dividing line between a seller’s and a buyer’s market, so this is firmly a buyer’s market. A conventional listing here is not a fast exit. If you have time and the house shows well, listing will usually net you more, and we’ll say so. If you’re working against a first-Tuesday foreclosure date, that three-month marketing window is the problem.
Want to understand the local process first? Our Hidalgo County guide explains how foreclosure, property tax sales, and probate work in Texas before you decide — including the roughly 41-day non-judicial foreclosure timeline and the two-year homestead tax-sale redemption period.
Yes. We buy homes in their current condition — including dated, damaged, or distressed properties — so there are no repairs, cleaning, or staging on your end.
Most closings take as little as 14 days once title work and paperwork are done, since we pay cash and don't wait on bank financing. If you need longer, you choose the closing date that works for your situation.
Sometimes, and we disclose it in writing when we are. Tex. Occ. Code § 1101.0045 permits selling an option or assigning a contract to purchase real property without a real estate license, so long as it isn't used to engage in real estate brokerage and the nature of the equitable interest is disclosed in writing to any seller or potential buyer. Where we assign a contract in Texas we give you that written disclosure up front. We are not a licensed Texas broker or sales agent and do not represent you in a transaction.
Often not, but Texas gives you less time than most states. Texas foreclosures are non-judicial, so no lawsuit is needed: a notice of default with at least 20 days to cure, followed by a notice of sale at least 21 days before the sale, means the minimum timeline is about 41 days. Sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so your real deadline is a specific date on a calendar. And Texas generally provides no redemption period after a mortgage foreclosure sale — once it happens, it is ordinarily final. Selling before that sale date is what protects your equity. Our Hidalgo County guide walks through the full timeline, including what happens if the sale doesn’t cover what you owe.
Not necessarily, and two options are worth asking the Hidalgo County Tax Office about before you decide anything. Under Tex. Tax Code § 33.02, if you’re delinquent on a homestead with a § 11.13 exemption, the collector generally must grant you a monthly installment agreement on request — 12 to 36 months — and the § 33.01(a) penalty stops accruing while you’re current under it. And under § 33.06, a homeowner who is 65 or older, disabled, or a disabled veteran can defer collection entirely, with no penalty and interest at 5% a year instead of 1% a month. We’d rather you knew about those than sold a house you wanted to keep. Details are in our Hidalgo County guide.
Probably not. Texas’s Uniform Partition of Heirs’ Property Act (Tex. Prop. Code ch. 23A) covers exactly this: where land is held in common and came down through a family, a co-owner who wants out has a defined route, and the others get a buyout right at an appraised price rather than a forced-auction price. Selling only your own share is sometimes possible without any lawsuit. Worth a conversation before assuming nothing can be done.
