Rental with tenants

Done being a landlord — without putting your tenants out?

Maybe the maintenance got ahead of you, maybe the tenant situation soured, or maybe you’re managing it from three states away and you’re just done. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to empty the building to sell it. We’re landlords ourselves, and we buy tenant-occupied rentals with the tenants in place — often, the tenants are part of what we want.

We hear from landlords with

Your tenants can stay

We’re not buying the place to flip your tenants out of it — we hold rentals across Southern Oregon, and a solid long-term tenant is an asset, not an obstacle. For good tenants, the sale usually means nothing changes but the address on the rent check. You get out clean, and nobody loses their home over it.

No showings parading through their home

Listing an occupied rental means months of strangers walking through your tenant’s living room, and the strain that puts on everyone. Selling to us means one scheduled walkthrough — that’s it. Your tenants barely notice the sale happened, and you’re not playing referee between them and a listing agent.

Oregon’s rules are our problem, not yours

Oregon has real tenant protections, and there are timing rules around notices and terminations that trip up a lot of owners — we’re not attorneys, and we won’t pretend to give you legal advice on them. Here’s the practical point: we know the Oregon rules and we buy with tenants in place, so you may never need to deal with notices at all. The lease, the tenants, and the rules transfer to us, and we take it from there.

Tired-landlord math is still math

Deferred maintenance, a tenant who’s stopped paying, rents that no longer cover the costs — we price the property on what’s actually true, and we’ll show you how we got there. We buy numbers and neighborhoods — not nails and studs. If the building’s tired and so are you, that’s not a problem. That’s the deal.

Common questions

Questions sellers ask

Do I have to evict before selling?
No. We buy with the tenants in place — that’s the point. In many cases we’d rather keep good tenants than lose them, and you skip the cost, the months, and the stress of trying to deliver the place empty.
Will my tenants be disturbed?
Barely. One scheduled walkthrough with proper notice, and that’s usually the whole footprint. No lockboxes, no weekend open houses, no parade of strangers through their home.
What about the deposits and the leases?
They transfer to us at closing through the title company — that’s standard practice with occupied rentals. The leases stay in force, the deposits move with the property, and your tenants’ terms don’t change just because the owner did.
What if the tenants are behind on rent?
We still buy. Unpaid rent and a difficult tenant situation are part of the real numbers, and the price will reflect reality — but it doesn’t kill the deal. Tell us what’s actually going on and we’ll be straight with you about what the property is worth as it stands.
