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.
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.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, rent, or a difficult tenant conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening. We can discuss the house and tenancy together; you do not need every answer before you call.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
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, and the timing you have in mind. Start with what you know about the property and tenancy.
2. You review a written cash offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written price and terms before you commit.
3. Closing goes through a title company
If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. The closing details account for who is living in the house and the agreed lease, deposit, and rent handoff.
Local code help for a Corbin property
Corbin’s incorporated area intersects Knox, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, so the property address determines which county office applies. For a building or code-enforcement question inside the city, contact the City of Corbin Building Inspection/Code Enforcement office.
Kentucky tenant rights and security deposits
A sale does not by itself end the lease. Under KRS 383.100, Kentucky allows the house to be sold without the tenant’s consent, and the buyer takes over as landlord. A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is not liable to pay that rent again. Written notice should tell tenants who the new owner is and where to pay rent.
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a security deposit when a rental is sold. In a city or county that adopted Kentucky’s version of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, deposits must be kept in a separate bank account under KRS 383.500 and KRS 383.580. Under KRS 383.600, a seller who sells in good faith is relieved of liability only for events after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. These deposit rules apply where the Act has been adopted locally.
For a clear handoff, reconcile the deposits and prorated rent with the buyer at closing. Tenants should receive written notice of who now holds the deposit and where rent should be paid.

Corbin tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Corbin house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. Kentucky law allows the sale without the tenant’s consent. The sale does not by itself end the lease, and the buyer takes over as landlord. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Corbin, including houses with tenants in place.
Do tenants have to move out when the house is sold?
No, not just because the house is sold. The sale does not by itself end the lease or set a move-out date; any separate possession plan still has to account for the lease.
Where should tenants pay rent after the sale?
Tell tenants in writing who the new owner is and where to pay. A tenant who pays the former owner before receiving notice of the sale is not liable to pay that rent again.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Kentucky has no statewide rule for moving a deposit at a sale. In cities and counties that adopted Kentucky’s version of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, separate-account and seller-liability rules apply. Reconcile the deposit and prorated rent at closing, then tell tenants in writing who holds the deposit.
