Selling Your Rental as a Tired Landlord

If managing tenants, repairs, and property taxes has worn you out, you are not alone. We buy rental properties with tenants already in them — problem tenants included. No evictions required on your end. Get a cash offer, close on your timeline, and let go of the headache for good.

When we help

Situations we handle regularly

  • You inherited a rental you never wanted to run and the tenants have been there for years.
  • Your property manager quit, disappeared, or is doing a bad job.
  • The tenants are behind on rent and you do not want to run an eviction yourself.
  • The house has deferred maintenance you cannot get to and the tenants are not helping.
  • You are ready to retire or 1031 into something passive.

How it works

Tired landlord sale walkthrough

1. Tell us about the property and the tenants

How long they have been there, what they pay, and how the situation is going.

2. We buy occupied and price accordingly

We factor in the lease, the tenant situation, and any deferred maintenance. Straight number.

3. Close through California escrow

The lease transfers with the property under California law.

4. You are done

We take on the tenant, the repairs, and everything that comes with it.

Tired landlord FAQ

Common questions

Can you buy my rental with tenants still in it?
Yes. We buy occupied rentals. You do not have to evict anyone before selling.
What if my tenants are not paying rent?
One of the most common reasons landlords call us. Non-paying tenants do not stop a sale to us. We factor it into the offer.
Do I have to notify my tenants that I am selling?
California has specific tenant-notice requirements depending on lease type, occupancy length, and local ordinances (LA City, Long Beach, Oakland, etc). We help you stay compliant.
What if my rental has deferred maintenance or code issues?
No problem. We buy in any condition.
How is the sale price determined for a rental?
We look at condition, current rents, tenant situation, and comparable sales. We give you a straight number.
Will I pay capital gains tax on the sale?
Possibly, depending on your cost basis and how long you have owned it. A 1031 exchange may let you defer taxes if you reinvest. Talk to a CPA — we can suggest one.
Can I sell if there is an active lease?
Yes. Active leases transfer to the new owner under California law. Tenants keep their lease terms; only the payee changes.
How fast can we close on a rental?
As few as 7 to 14 days once we have a contract and title is clear.
