We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

What we do

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 through the occupied-house handoff and whether a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone. If it comes up, the lease and proposed terms still matter.

Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem

Tell us what is making the rental difficult: lease timing, limited access, repairs, a deposit question, a notice already sent, or uncertainty about possession. Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.

What happens next

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

    We talk through the property address, who lives there, the lease and occupancy, access, condition and repairs, deposit records, notices, and the timing you have in mind.

  2. 2. We review the property and put the offer in writing

    We consider the house as it stands and the tenancy details you share. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding.

  3. 3. The title company closes the sale

    If you choose to proceed, the title company handles closing. Keep the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices with the sale information so the handoff reflects the actual tenancy.

Local zoning and building-code contacts

Bellaire is the Village of Bellaire in Antrim County, not a city. The village lies in Forest Home and Kearney Townships. Confirm the parcel's local jurisdiction before relying on an office or local rule; the county says zoning is administered by local units, not through a county-wide zoning ordinance.

Michigan lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or make the tenant move. Keep the lease and any notices with the sale information so the occupancy being handed over is clear.

Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.134 — tenancy termination notices

If you want the tenant to leave, the lease and the applicable notice rules still matter; the sale itself does not set a move-out date. Michigan's notice statute covers termination notices for different tenancies, so use the lease and the rule that applies to this tenancy before making a possession plan.

Michigan Compiled Laws § 554.614 — security deposits when a rental is sold

A sale does not automatically release you from responsibility for a security deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to transfer the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. Keep the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices together for the handoff.

Michigan's landlord-tenant guide also explains what happens to a security deposit when a rental property is sold.

Bellaire questions and next steps

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Bellaire tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell a Bellaire house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. You can talk with us about selling while tenants are still in the house. We buy houses with tenants in place, and an ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place for its remaining term.

Do I have to evict before I call?

No. You can call before deciding what to do about possession. Tell us about the house and tenancy, including whether a move-out arrangement may work better for everyone.

Does a sale make the tenant move out?

No. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or set a move-out date. Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and applicable notice rules.

What happens to the security deposit when I sell?

A sale does not automatically release you from responsibility for the deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to transfer the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address.

What should I have ready before I call?

Start with the property address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, repairs, notices, deposit records, and timing. You can call before every detail is organized.
