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.
Tell us whether you want to sell with the tenants in place or discuss a move-out arrangement. We can talk about the lease and the house before you decide which direction to take.
Bring us the problem
Lease timing, limits on access, rent questions, needed repairs, or a difficult tenant conversation can all be part of the discussion. Tell us what is happening, even if you do not have every answer yet.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Wapakoneta property.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk about who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the home’s condition, the deposit, and your timing. Start with what you know; the house does not have to be vacant before the conversation.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit, and the closing is through a title company.
3. We discuss the tenant handoff
We discuss the lease, occupancy, and security-deposit handoff as part of closing, so the tenancy is included in the sale plan.
Local help for Wapakoneta sellers
Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Yes, you can sell an Ohio rental with tenants in it. The lease typically stays with the house, and if we buy it with tenants in place, we become the landlord. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease, so nobody has to move out before closing just because the property is sold.
If you would rather sell the house empty, Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17 provides written-notice timing for periodic tenancies: at least 30 days before the next rent due date for month-to-month, or 7 days for week-to-week. Those notice periods do not make a property vacant by themselves; the lease and actual tenancy matter. Read Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17.
Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the deposit amount and available records ready for the closing discussion so the handoff can be addressed.
