We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

What we do

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.

If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, we can talk through whether a cash-for-keys arrangement fits the lease, occupancy, and plan for the property. The sale itself does not make a tenant move.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, difficult access, needed repairs, unpaid rent, or a hard tenant conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy. We can start with what you know; you do not have to decide on eviction before calling.

Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

    We talk through who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house’s condition, rent and deposit records, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    We discuss the house as it stands and the tenancy. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

  3. 3. We discuss the tenant and deposit handoff

    We talk through the lease, current occupancy, tenant notices, and deposit records with you so the written terms and closing can reflect the handoff. Any deposit transfer still needs to follow Michigan law.

Alpena County Clerk — local units

The City of Alpena and Alpena Township are separate local units, so the City contact may not handle a property in the Township. The County Clerk lists the local units separately.

Michigan leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling alone does not make the tenant move. If a tenancy is to end, the lease and applicable notice rules matter; a sale is not a move-out date. The Michigan Judicial Institute’s landlord-tenant benchbook explains how a new owner affects an existing tenancy.

A sale does not automatically end the seller’s responsibility for a security deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner’s name and address. We discuss the lease and deposit records with you as part of the closing handoff.

Michigan law on ending a tenancy

Michigan law has notice rules for different tenancy situations. The lease and the type of tenancy determine which rule applies; the sale itself does not replace required notice or set a move-out date.
