What we do
We start with the Cambridge property and the tenancy: the lease, who lives there, how access works, the condition of the house, and what timing you are considering. You can talk with us before making a possession decision.
You don't 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.
You don't fix anything — not one thing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Selling the house does not by itself cancel a tenant's lease. The lease typically stays with the property, and when we buy with tenants in place we become the landlord. The tenants do not have to move out before closing just because the house is sold.
Ohio Rev. Code §5321.17 — notice for periodic tenancies
If you want to end a month-to-month tenancy, Ohio law requires written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date. For a week-to-week tenancy, the notice period is 7 days. These are notice rules for periodic tenancies; check the actual lease before treating them as a plan for a different lease term.
Possession is separate from the sale
A notice period is not an automatic move-out date. If you want the house vacant, plan around the actual lease and the applicable possession process; do not assume the sale itself gives you possession or ends the tenancy.
Security deposits at closing
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing when we buy a tenant-occupied house. We discuss the deposit handoff along with the lease and occupancy details before closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Questions about selling a Cambridge rental with tenants
Can I sell my Cambridge house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. The lease typically stays with the house, and when we buy it we become the landlord, so tenants do not have to move out before closing just because the property is sold.
Do I have to evict before I call or sell to you?
No. You don't 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.
How much notice does Ohio require for a month-to-month or week-to-week tenancy?
Ohio Rev. Code §5321.17 requires written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date to end a month-to-month tenancy, or 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy. The actual lease and possession plan still matter; a sale does not itself end the lease.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing when we buy the tenant-occupied house. We discuss the deposit handoff as part of the written sale and closing details.
Will you consider a house that needs repairs or has access limits?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us about the lease, access limits, occupancy, and repairs so we can discuss the property.
When will I receive a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written terms before you commit, with a title-company closing.
