Why Selling a Rental Is Harder Than It Sounds
Most landlords who call us aren't in trouble. They're just done. But selling an occupied rental the usual way comes with its own headaches:
- Showings disrupt your tenants. Agents and buyers walking through every week can strain a good tenant relationship, and an unhappy tenant may not keep the place show-ready.
- Many buyers want it empty. Buyers who plan to live in the house usually need it vacant, so you may have to wait out a lease or not renew it, and lose rent while it sits.
- Deferred maintenance shows up. Years of tenant wear, an old roof or HVAC, or a long list of small repairs can turn into a big repair request after a buyer's inspection.
- Problem tenants complicate everything. Late rent, unauthorized occupants or property damage make a traditional sale slow and uncertain.
- The numbers stop working. Rising insurance, property taxes and repair bills can eat up the rent, especially on an older house.
Selling with the tenants in place avoids most of this. Your tenants keep their home, you keep collecting rent until closing, and the buyer takes over the lease and the house as it is.
How Selling With Tenants in Place Works
- Tell us about the property. The address, the rent, the lease terms and the condition. Rough answers are fine to start.
- We look at the house. We'll coordinate a visit around your tenants, with whatever notice your lease requires.
- Get a cash offer. We make a cash offer within 24 hours, as-is. No repairs, no make-ready and no inspection repair list.
- Close at a local closing attorney. At closing, the leases and the tenants' security deposits transfer to us, and rent is usually prorated for the month. Any mortgage or liens are paid from the sale.
- We take it from there. After closing, we're the landlord. Your tenants get our contact information, and the calls go to us instead of you.
Have copies of the leases, a list of deposits and current rent amounts ready. It makes the transfer smoother for everyone, including your tenants.
If You Have a Problem Tenant
We buy houses with difficult situations, including tenants who are behind on rent or have damaged the property. You don't have to fix the tenant situation before you call us.
That said, we're not attorneys, and this isn't legal advice. Georgia has specific rules for landlords, including how evictions (called dispossessory actions) work and how security deposits must be handled. If you're in the middle of an eviction or a dispute, talk to a Georgia landlord-tenant attorney before you take any action, and let us know what's going on so we can plan around it. For houses in North Augusta or Aiken, South Carolina has its own landlord-tenant law.
Telling Your Tenants
Good tenants often worry when they hear the house is being sold. It helps to tell them early and plainly: the house is being sold, their lease is being transferred, and the new owner will honor it. Let them know when we'll need to see the house and who to contact after closing. A respectful heads-up goes a long way toward a smooth handoff.
If a lease is close to ending or the tenant is month-to-month, let us know. We can talk through what makes sense for both you and your tenant before you decide anything.
