You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.

What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes a Bedford or Lawrence County house with tenants in place.
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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
We can discuss who lives there, the lease, access, rent and deposits, the condition of the house, and whether talking with the tenant about a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, hard-to-coordinate access, repairs, unpaid rent, deposit records, or a difficult tenant conversation can make a rental hard to sell. Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy; you do not need to have every detail settled before calling.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
Tell us the Bedford address, who lives there, what the lease says, rent and deposit information, access arrangements, the house's condition, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the written price and terms before deciding whether to commit. If you choose to move forward, closing is handled through a title company.
3. The lease and deposit details are accounted for at closing
The lease, occupancy, rent, security-deposit balance, and any deposit transfer and tenant notice are part of the handoff discussion. A sale does not by itself end the rental agreement.

For a rental within Bedford city limits, the City's Planning & Zoning office handles city zoning, permits, building inspections, and code enforcement.
Indiana leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself end the rental agreement. The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing. The actual lease and reason for ending a tenancy can change what notice or handoff applies.
Indiana Code §32-31-1-4 — month-to-month notice
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Indiana generally requires notice equal to one rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. A sale by itself does not cancel the rental agreement.
Indiana Code §32-31-3-19 — security-deposit responsibility
A sale does not automatically erase the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility. Transferring the deposit and the buyer's notice accepting that responsibility matter. Account for the actual balance and transfer plan as part of the closing discussion.
Indiana Court of Appeals — May v. Sharp, September 25, 2025
Pages 4–6 discuss a sale, the former landlord's security-deposit responsibility, and the deposit transfer and buyer-notice details. Read the decision alongside the statute and the facts of the tenancy.
