We Understand What Landlord Burnout Really Feels Like

You bought a rental property in DFW with good intentions. Maybe it was a long-term wealth play. Maybe you inherited it and became an accidental landlord. Somewhere along the way, a problem tenant, a deferred maintenance bill, or a code violation turned your investment into a liability that costs more stress than it returns in rent.

You do not need to justify your decision to sell. You just need a buyer who can actually close on a rental property in the real world — not a retail buyer who vanishes the moment they see an active tenant or a code issue.

We Buy Rentals Occupied or Vacant — With or Without Tenants

Most traditional buyers require a vacant property before making an offer. We do not. We purchase occupied rental properties including those with month-to-month tenants, long-term lease tenants, and even properties with active eviction proceedings. After closing we take over all tenant relationships and handle any legal proceedings ourselves.

Situations We Handle That Others Won’t

  • Problem tenants — late rent payers, property destroyers, or tenants engaged in illegal activity on the premises
  • Active eviction proceedings — we can purchase a property mid-eviction and take over the legal process post-closing
  • Severe tenant damage — holes in walls, destroyed flooring, plumbing sabotage, stolen HVAC components
  • Deferred maintenance backlogs — a roof that has needed replacing for years, aging HVAC, plumbing that requires full repipe
  • Code enforcement violations — open cases with Dallas, Fort Worth, Garland, Arlington, or any DFW municipality
  • Occupancy permit issues — properties that have failed recent city inspections
  • Multi-unit properties — duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings with mixed occupancy
  • Section 8 / HCV voucher properties — we purchase properties with active HUD voucher tenants

Why Traditional Sale Is So Difficult for Rental Properties

Selling an occupied rental on the MLS is a legal and logistical nightmare in Texas. You must give proper notice before showings. You cannot terminate a lease early simply because you want to sell. If a retail buyer wants the property vacant, you either wait for the lease to expire or initiate eviction — which takes months and thousands in attorney fees through North Texas courts.

Even then, a retail buyer’s lender requires a habitable property in good condition. That means fixing all deferred maintenance before closing — at your expense. With a heavily damaged rental, this can easily exceed $30,000 to $70,000 before you see a dollar from the sale.

What the DFW Landlord Cash Sale Process Looks Like

1

Tell Us About Your Rental

Property address, number of tenants, lease status (month-to-month vs. fixed term), and any known major issues. The more you tell us upfront, the faster and more accurately we can price it.

2

Property Assessment

We schedule a brief walkthrough coordinated with proper tenant notice per Texas Property Code §92. We assess condition, current rents versus market rents, and renovation requirements.

3

Written Cash Offer

Based on as-is value and our assessment, we provide a written offer within 24 hours. We factor in tenant situation, deferred maintenance, and current DFW rental market conditions.

4

Close & Transfer

We close through a Texas title company. Existing leases and security deposits transfer to us at closing per Texas law. You are completely out of the landlord business on closing day.

Do I have to evict my tenants before selling?
No. We buy occupied properties regularly. Existing lease agreements survive a property sale in Texas — tenants have legal rights to remain through their lease term regardless of who owns the property. We purchase subject to those existing tenancies and handle all tenant relationships post-closing.
What happens to the security deposits I collected?
Per Texas Property Code §92.105, security deposits transfer to the new owner at closing. You provide us a written accounting of deposits held and we take over responsibility for them. The title company documents this as part of the closing process.
Will you buy a rental that has serious code violations?
Yes. We deal with code enforcement cases regularly across Dallas, Fort Worth, Garland, Mesquite, Arlington, and throughout DFW. Open code cases and citation fines can typically be resolved at closing or are factored into our offer. We have contractor relationships to bring properties into code compliance efficiently after closing.
