What we do with a tenant-occupied house

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.

Bring us the tenancy or access problem

Tell us about the lease, access, or repairs that are making the house hard to manage. Not sure how to handle it? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
