What we do

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.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Bring us the tenant problem

Lease timing, access, repairs or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening. We'll talk through the house, who is living there and what the lease says. You don't have to solve the tenancy before calling.

Indiana leases, notice and security deposits

Selling a rented house does not by itself end the rental agreement. The lease, rent and security-deposit balance need to be accounted for at closing. The tenant may stay under the lease after the sale; if you want to end a month-to-month tenancy, Indiana's notice rule applies.

Indiana Code §32-31-3-19 — security deposits

The deposit needs to be accounted for at closing. Indiana tenant security deposits typically transfer with the house at closing, though the buyer and seller often negotiate how to handle it.
