Tired of Being a Landlord? We Buy Rentals With the Tenants Still There.

Rental With Tenants

You don't need to empty the house, wait for a lease to end, or fix up a unit first. We own and manage rentals ourselves, so buying a property with tenants in it is normal for us.

Does This Sound Like You?

  • Tenants are behind on rent, or you're in the middle of an eviction.

  • Repairs and turnover are eating your profit.

  • You live far away and managing it isn't working.

  • You inherited a rental and never wanted to be a landlord.

  • You want to cash out without emptying units first.

What Happens to Your Tenants

  • Leases stay in place. We take over existing leases and month-to-month tenants at closing.

  • Deposits move with the property. Security deposits are credited to us at closing, so tenants are protected.

  • We introduce ourselves. We handle the hand-off and let tenants know who the new owner is.

  • Visits come with notice. We give tenants proper notice before we walk through.

Your Options, Honestly

  • Keep it and hire a property manager. Can work if the property makes money and you just need help.

  • List it with an agent. Usually means emptying units and fixing them up so buyers with loans can buy.

  • Sell it to us. We buy occupied and as-is, one property or several.

Not sure which is right for you? Compare a cash sale and listing with an agent. (link: /sell-my-house/cash-offer-or-list-your-house)

Local Help in Northwest Indiana

  • Security deposits. Indiana landlords generally must return deposits, minus allowed charges, within 45 days after a tenant moves out. At a sale, deposits transfer to the new owner.

  • Rental registration. Some Northwest Indiana cities require landlords to register rentals and pass inspections. Check with your city.

  • Evictions. Evictions are filed in your county's small claims or county court. If one is already filed, we can usually take it over.

What to Have Ready When You Call

  • A list of tenants, rents and lease end dates

  • Copies of leases, if you have them

  • The security deposits you hold

  • Any recent repair, inspection or code history

FAQs (Situation FAQs collection)

1. Can I sell if a tenant isn't paying?

Yes. It affects the price, not whether we'll buy.

2. What should I have ready?

A list of who pays what and when leases end, the deposits you hold, and any recent repair or code history. If it isn't organized, we'll work from what you have.

3. Do you buy more than one property?

Yes. Several houses or buildings, in one closing or spread out.

4. Can you work with a 1031 exchange?

We can work with your timeline. Talk to your tax advisor about the rules.
