What we do
We're USA Home Buyers, and we buy houses as-is in Alma and Gratiot County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
We can talk about an occupied sale or whether a voluntary move-out plan may work better for everyone. The lease and the tenant's situation still matter; a sale itself does not make a tenant leave.

Local help for an Alma property
These Gratiot County offices are useful for property-record and tax-office follow-up. They do not decide the terms of a lease or a tenant's possession.

Michigan leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Selling an Alma rental does not by itself cancel the lease. The lease and the tenant's occupancy remain part of the handoff; the sale alone does not tell a tenant when to move.
If you are discussing entry or possession, check the lease and any notices or court papers before setting expectations. Do not treat the sale as permission to remove a tenant or change the locks.
For a security deposit, keep the lease and records showing the amount and who holds it. Ask the title and closing professionals how it should be handled for this tenancy, and make the agreed treatment clear in the written terms.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Alma tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Alma house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease or set a move-out date, so the lease and occupancy still need to be accounted for.
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. You can call before making a possession decision. Tell us what the lease says, who lives there, and whether any notices or court papers are involved.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Keep the lease and records showing the deposit amount and who holds it. Ask the title and closing professionals how the deposit should be handled for this tenancy, and make the agreed treatment clear in the written terms.
How do access and repairs work with a tenant in the house?
Tell us about the lease, access limits, and repairs. We can discuss a property review around the tenancy; the lease and applicable rules still matter for entry.
Does the tenant have to move just because the house sells?
No. A sale by itself does not cancel a lease or automatically require a tenant to move. If possession is part of the plan, handle it separately under the lease and the process that applies.
