Selling a rental with tenants still in it.

You do not have to evict first

The usual advice is to get the property vacant before listing, because most retail buyers want to move in. That means serving notice, waiting out the lease, possibly going through an eviction, and carrying the property through a vacancy. Months of hassle before you can even start marketing it.

We buy occupied. A lease in Florida survives a sale, so we simply take over as landlord on the existing terms. Nothing has to change for the tenant, and nothing has to be resolved by you before closing.

The situations that make landlords want out

Rent that stopped arriving months ago. A tenant who will not allow access. Damage that exceeds the deposit several times over. An eviction already filed and crawling through the court. A property inherited with a tenant already in place and no paperwork to be found.

Those are the ones where a traditional sale is close to impossible, because a financed buyer cannot get in for an appraisal or inspection. We can work from limited access, and we have bought properties where we never saw the inside before closing.

Tired of being a landlord

Often there is nothing wrong at all. The property is fine, the tenant is fine, and the owner has simply reached the point where the returns no longer justify the calls, the repairs, the insurance increases and the time.

That is a perfectly good reason to sell and it does not require a problem to justify it. If you own several, we will look at the portfolio as a whole.
