What we do

We look at the house and the tenancy together: the lease, who lives there, how access works, rent and deposit records, needed repairs, and whether you want the tenants to stay or hope to sell the house empty.

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.

If helping the tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us that too. We can discuss whether a cash-for-keys arrangement belongs in the plan; we do not assume a tenant has agreed to move.

Bring us the tenancy problem

Lease timing, limited access, repairs, or an uncertain move-out plan making the sale hard to sort out? Tell us what is happening with the property and the people living there. You do not have to settle every question before calling.

Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.

Local help for a Washington Court House rental

For a property inside the city, start with the City of Washington Court House website and ask which municipal contact handles a rental, property-maintenance, or code question for that address. Fayette County's Auditor and Recorder are local property-record offices; they do not decide lease or possession questions.

Ohio leases, notice, possession, and security deposits

Selling the house does not by itself cancel a residential lease. If we buy with tenants in place, the lease typically stays with the house and we become the landlord. Nobody has to move before closing just because the house 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 are notice periods; selling the property is not itself notice to end the lease or a grant of immediate possession. Check the lease and actual tenancy before relying on a notice date. Read Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17.

Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing. Keep the lease and deposit record available so the handoff can be addressed in the closing paperwork.

Questions about selling a tenant-occupied house

Can I sell my house with tenants still living there?

Yes. You can sell a Washington Court House house with tenants in place. The sale does not by itself cancel the lease. If we buy it, the lease typically stays with the house and we become the landlord, so nobody has to move before closing.

Do I have to evict before I call?

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.

What notice applies if I want to 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. Notice alone does not make the house vacant or give immediate possession. Check the lease and actual tenancy before relying on a notice date.

What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?

Security deposits typically transfer to us at closing when we buy the house. Keep the lease and deposit record available so the handoff can be addressed in the closing paperwork.
