Selling a rental
Tenants in place is fine. Truly.
Most buyers want the property vacant, cleaned and repaired. That means evicting someone, and it means months of work before you can even list.
The usual advice to a landlord who wants out is to get the tenant out first. That's slow, expensive, and hard on somebody who probably hasn't done anything wrong.
We buy occupied. The tenancy transfers with the property, and in many cases the tenant simply stays, which is better for everyone and considerably faster for you.
Situations we see
- Tenants mid-lease or month-to-month
- Section 8 and other assisted tenancies
- Non-paying tenants and eviction already in progress
- Years of deferred maintenance between turnovers
- Small multi-family and duplexes
How it goes
The same three steps, whatever the situation.
01 · The conversation
Ten minutes on the phone. What the property is and what's happening around it.
02 · One walkthrough
Half an hour, in person, no cleaning or repairs first.
03 · One number
With the math shown, and a closing date you choose.
Questions
Straight answers.
No. We'd generally rather you didn't. We buy the property with the tenancy in place and take on the landlord's obligations at close.
We work within the notice period the law requires and around the tenant's schedule. If access genuinely can't be arranged we can often work from what you can tell us plus exterior condition.
Handled through escrow as part of closing, the same as any other credit or proration. It doesn't come out of your pocket at the table.
