Why tenanted rentals are hard to sell normally

Retail buyers mostly want to move in, which means they need the property vacant, which means somebody has to end a tenancy. Investor buyers will take it occupied but expect a discount for the uncertainty. And in between, showings require the cooperation of people who have no reason to cooperate.

Add a tenant who is behind on rent, a lease with time left on it, or a property you have not been inside in two years, and a normal listing gets difficult quickly.

We buy occupied, and we mean it

No eviction. No waiting for the lease to run out. No asking you to have an awkward conversation on our behalf. If the tenants are staying, that is often the better outcome for everyone — they keep their home and you get out from under the property.

We still own a rental we bought occupied. We did not clear it out. The family in it is on a housing voucher.

Section 8 and housing vouchers

Not a problem, and not a discount trigger for us. We own voucher-tenanted property ourselves and understand the inspection and payment mechanics. Plenty of buyers treat this as a defect; we do not.

Deferred maintenance

Rentals accumulate it. Turn costs that got deferred, a roof that has another two years in it, a water heater on borrowed time. You do not need to fix any of that before selling to us — see houses that need repairs.

Out-of-state owners

If you inherited a rental or moved away and kept it, you do not need to fly in. Most closings can be handled remotely through the title company.

We're landlords too

Bought occupied, renovated, still owned

We bought this house fully occupied with contents in every room, rebuilt it, and kept it. It's rented to a family on a housing voucher today.

Questions we get asked

Do I have to evict my tenants first?+
No. We buy occupied and often keep the tenants in place. Asking a seller to evict someone before closing is a common request in this industry and we think it's a bad one.
What if the tenant is behind on rent?+
Still fine. Tell us the situation honestly so we can price it properly, and we'll handle the arrears from there.
What happens to the security deposit?+
It transfers at closing and gets accounted for in the settlement statement, same as prorated rent. The title company handles the mechanics.
Can I sell if there's time left on the lease?+
Yes. The lease transfers with the property. That's normal for an investor sale and doesn't need the tenant's permission.
Do you buy multiple properties at once?+
Yes. If you're exiting a small portfolio, tell us on the call and we'll look at them together.
