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.
Cash-for-keys means discussing an agreed move-out arrangement, including its payment and timing. If that may work better for everyone, tell us about it; the tenant situation and terms still need to be handled in writing.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limited access, repairs the tenant has reported, or a difficult conversation about the house? Tell us what is happening. Call 888-274-5006 or send the address; you do not need to fix the situation before reaching out.
What happens next

Before closing, the lease, occupancy, deposit records, and possession plan can be discussed with the title company so the written terms match the handoff you are considering.

Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. The lease and occupancy matter when you decide whether to sell with tenants in place or discuss a separate move-out plan.
The lease and possession
In Ohio, the lease typically stays with the house. If we buy it, we become the landlord, so tenants do not have to move out before closing just because the property is sold. If you want the house vacant, discuss that separately from the sale and check the lease and applicable process.
Written notice for shorter rental periods
If you are ending a month-to-month tenancy, Ohio 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 periods are about ending those rental arrangements; a sale alone does not end the lease.
Read Ohio Revised Code § 5321.17 for the state notice rule.
Security deposits
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and deposit records available so the amount and handoff can be discussed as part of the closing details.

Springfield tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Springfield house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. The lease typically stays with the house, and if USA Home Buyers buys it, we become the landlord; tenants do not have to move out just because the house is sold.
What notice applies if I want to end a rental?
For a month-to-month tenancy, Ohio requires written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date. For a week-to-week tenancy, the period is 7 days. Check the lease and the details of your tenancy; Ohio Revised Code § 5321.17 is linked in the local rules section.
What happens to the security deposit at closing?
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and current deposit records available so the handoff can be discussed with the closing team.
What should I tell you about the property?
Tell us what you know about the lease, who lives there, access, repairs, rent and deposit records, and the timing you are considering. You can call or use the form without first resolving every tenancy question.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
We discuss the Springfield house, its condition, lease, occupancy, and timing. We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
