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.
We talk through the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what repairs need attention, and what timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before you have every answer about occupancy.
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.
If a move-out arrangement would work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss whether cash-for-keys fits the situation; any agreed move-out terms need to account for the lease and applicable process.
Bring us the problem
Is the lease near renewal, is access hard to arrange, do repairs need attention, or are you unsure how the rent and deposit fit into a sale? Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy. You can call even if you do not have every document or answer in hand.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Stevens Point property.

Wisconsin leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease. The new owner takes over the landlord's obligations under it, and tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells. The Wisconsin landlord-tenant statutes and DATCP guide explain the state rules.
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy
The usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. Read Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 704.
Check the actual lease and situation before relying on a notice date or assuming the property will be empty by a particular time.
Rent and security deposits at closing
Account for the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance when arranging the closing. Keep the lease and deposit records together so those amounts can be addressed.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Pierce Manufacturing transferred me to their Bradenton, Florida facility. I had eight weeks to get to Florida. My house on the Westside needed a few updates but I wasn't going to spend the summer on that. USA Home Buyers gave me a number in twenty-four hours. I said yes and closed in eleven days. I made it to Bradenton two weeks early.”
“After the plant I worked at outside Oshkosh restructured and cut my position, I was behind on payments within three months. The lender filed in Winnebago County Circuit Court. By that point I had a judgment date looming. USA Home Buyers had a written offer in twenty-four hours and we closed in thirteen days. The judgment was dismissed.”
“The Winnebago County divorce required the house sold before settlement could be finalized. We'd lived in Menominee Park for sixteen years — good memories, but we needed to move on. One written offer from USA Home Buyers, both signed it in the same afternoon, closed in fourteen days.”
