What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can discuss buying the property with tenants in place, including the lease, occupancy, access, and any repairs the house needs.
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 tenant move-out arrangement is part of the conversation, tell us. The lease, any agreement, and the applicable West Virginia process still matter; selling the house does not itself set a move-out date.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is making the rental hard to sell: a lease that is still running, limited access, missed rent, repairs, tenant notices, or uncertainty about when you can hand over the house. Start with what you know. You can call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the house and tenancy
We talk about the Wheeling address, who lives there, what the lease says, access, rent and deposits, notices, repairs, and the timing you are considering. You can start with the details you have.
2. We review the house and put the offer in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the price and terms before deciding.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The lease and deposit details are accounted for
Share the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices with the buyer and closing professionals. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each tenant’s deposit.
4. A title company handles closing
A title company reviews ownership and the documents needed for settlement. The written terms and the actual lease and deposit records help define the handoff; no move-out date is created just by selling the house.

West Virginia lease, notice, possession, and deposit details
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require the tenant to move. The lease and the tenant’s existing rights still matter after ownership changes.
The lease follows the property
Under West Virginia law, a buyer of leased property steps into the landlord’s position and can enforce the lease. The tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against the seller. See W. Va. Code § 37-6-1 and § 37-6-2.
Notice and possession are separate questions
A sale itself is not a move-out date. If possession is part of your plan, or a notice has already been sent or received, check the lease and the applicable West Virginia steps before relying on a date. Give the buyer copies of tenant notices.
Security deposits must be accounted for
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. When the tenancy ends, the deposit minus allowed deductions is due within 60 days, or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. West Virginia’s successor-landlord and deposit provisions are in W. Va. Code § 37-6A-2 and § 37-6A-1. Give the buyer the leases and deposit records, and have the purchase contract and closing statement account for each deposit.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Questions about selling a Wheeling rental
Can I sell my Wheeling house while tenants still live there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place, and you can start the conversation before deciding what to do about possession. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease or require tenants to move.
Does the buyer have to honor the lease?
Under West Virginia law, the buyer steps into the landlord’s position and can enforce the lease. The tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against you.
Who is responsible for returning the security deposit?
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if the original landlord received it. The deposit, minus allowed deductions, is due within 60 days or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. Account for each deposit in the purchase contract and closing statement.
What should I share about the tenancy or the house?
Tell us what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, rent, deposits, tenant notices, repairs, and timing. If available, have the lease, deposit records, and copies of notices nearby.
When will I receive the written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer terms before you commit, and closing is handled through a title company.
