How this works in Delaware
Investment property in Delaware: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
Delaware foreclosures (scire facias) run 6–12 months through court. That's runway for you — we can close in 10–14 days and pay off your lender well before the sale date.
Delaware is a judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
An attorney coordinates with a title agency to close in Delaware. You select and engage them directly.
Local demand
Wilmington and Dover have the most active buyers. Coastal Sussex County skews second-home, which can actually mean stronger offers if your home shows well.

Glossary
Key terms for investment property in Wilmington.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Wilmington property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
