The math that stops working
A rental pencils out until it doesn’t. A roof and an HVAC in the same year. A tenant who stops paying while eviction courts back up. Rising insurance and property taxes eating a margin that was thin to begin with. If you’re doing landlord work for less than minimum wage, selling isn’t giving up, it’s arithmetic.
Listing a tenant-occupied rental on the open market is notoriously hard: showings need notice, the house shows badly mid-lease, and most retail buyers want it vacant. Investors like us are the natural buyer, occupied is fine, and a paying tenant is a feature, not a problem.
We buy rentals in every condition of tenancy
- Good tenants on a lease: we honor the lease and take over as landlord at closing. Your tenant’s deposit transfers; they may never notice more than a new address for rent.
- Month-to-month tenants: same, no one needs to be displaced for the sale.
- Non-paying or difficult tenants: we buy those too, and handle what comes after closing at our expense.
- Inherited tenants you’ve never met: common with inherited rentals, we sort out the lease situation ourselves.
Under Oklahoma’s Landlord and Tenant Act the lease survives the sale, so a sale to us is legally clean for the tenant: their terms don’t change, only their landlord does.
Portfolios, duplexes, and the taxes question
We buy single rentals, duplexes and fourplexes, and multi-property portfolios in one transaction, one closing, one wire, instead of ten separate listings. If you’ve owned the property for years, talk to your CPA about depreciation recapture and capital gains before you sell; some landlords pair the sale with a 1031 exchange into something less management-heavy. We can time closing around whichever route your tax advisor recommends.
